Are the Illini seriously thinking about playing in the inaugural Big Ten Championship game?

Changing a diaper at 7am on Saturday, way behind on sleep, I looked at the clock and saw that Illinois would be kicking off in three hours. That's Mountain time for you, which actually works out pretty well for the NFL.

Anyways, I couldn't watch the game. The first time I checked the score it was 28-10 Northwestern. So much for being a contender, I thought. Now they're 4-1, but 1-1 against real teams.

An hour later, the phone rang. It was Brit's Dad, super excited about Illinois' victory.

The what now?

Illinois scores three back to back touchdowns to take the lead 31-28, fumbles away the lead, and then gets it back on a last second drive.

Oh yeah and Jenkins has 3 touchdowns and 268 receiving yards--that's a school record.
