I actually would like to see a powerful Illinois program. It would make our in-state rivarly meaningful. It would be good for NU. It's sad seeing them in this state.
I feel the exact opposite (surprise). Our rivalry has much more meaning when we're kicking their azzes all over the field.
Maybe you need to read a few of theKid101's posts where he claims Illinois superiority over Northwestern to readjust your attitude.
