Sorry I just have a very hard time believing the talk of Thomas reconsidering Illinois. First of all pretty sure Jeff would have issues getting past Illinois admissions unless they are suddenly getting some academic exceptions...also just never got the feeling Illinois was really an option. Thirdly I'll still say Missouri is a very hard team to beat here along with Alabama. Certainly hope I'm wrong but I just can't buy into all the Orange and Blue Kool Aid talk on this one....
