Michael Berns at The Champaign Room has a superb look back at the last five years of the annual Illinois versus Missouri Braggin’ Rights games. Illinois is on a five-game run of victories, but I’m just not sure this year’s team is going to get the win. No matter who wins, I’ll be having a great time.

Over the last few years, there has been a March Madness atmosphere prior to tipoff, and I anticipate it getting crazier with several players on the Mizzou squad committed/decommitted/transferred from the Fighting Illini.

Of course, I’ll be there cheering on the team.
