IlliniKrush Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Damn, that's pretty impressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Whoa, when you think of all the UNC/Duke games and the other big games that ESPN has had thats suprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probally because two pretty impressive streaks were on the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Yeah I know that but Illinois/Wiscy just doesn't seem like it would get the national acclaim to be top 7 all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hyped the hamburgers out of that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangekrush88 Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 ESPN should take full advantage of the Illini as they really seem more like a more marketbale team than Stanford was last year. They should pick up as many of their games as they can and should already be hyping the Spartan/Illini game on Tuesday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I think for all intents and purposes it was a #1 vs. a #2 game. I say that because both streaks were so impressive that it seemed to be on legit equal footing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
