Primarily based on how a lot the Marching Illini members carrying all of the Large Ten flags struggled as they marched onto the sphere … the wind seems to be like it will likely be an element once more right now at Memorial Stadium. The gusts may not be as violent, nevertheless it’s a gentle breeze out of the North (which simply makes it colder, clearly).
Illinois didn’t deal with the wind effectively final week within the loss to Michigan State. Punter Hugh Robertson REALLY struggled. So it is both lesson realized or a harbinger of one thing equally as dangerous.

Alec Bryant WILL be in a key function right now in opposition to Purdue. Seth Coleman has apparently not cleared concussion protocol, because the sophomore outdoors linebacker is in road garments.
Virginia Tech switch ready within the wings if Seth Coleman is unavailable
Additionally OUT for right now’s sport? Sophomore operating again Josh McCray, who’s in a boot, in line with 247Sports’ Jeremy Werner. (I have not gotten eyes on McCray personally). Gibson Metropolis-Melvin-Sibley freshman operating again Aidan Laughery is not dressed both.

Chase and Sydney Brown have not simply captured the Large Ten’s consideration this season. They’ve gone nationwide (and worldwide). TV crews from throughout the state, nation and their native Canada have made the journey to Champaign this season to speak to the nation’s main rusher and certainly one of Illinois’ defensive leaders.
That they are twins with a compelling backstory definitely does not damage. The Browns have been featured this morning on “Good Morning, America” the place a 30-minute interview and quarter-hour of B-roll became what amounted to a 90-second characteristic. TV, man.

There’s loads conspiring in opposition to a big, boisterous crowd right now at Memorial Stadium for the ultimate dwelling sport of the 2022 Illinois soccer season.
First, the climate. It is at the moment 32 levels. That is a 40-degree drop from two days in the past. Mainly … fall in central Illinois. A bit of wind (not a lot as final week, however nonetheless noticeable) does not assistance on that entrance.
Then there’s the stakes for this sport. It is nonetheless a “should win” sort of sport for Illinois in its pursuit of a Large Ten West championship, which might be the primary division title in program historical past. However the Illini cannot clinch right now in opposition to Purdue. That went out the window as quickly because the clock hit 00:00 final week within the loss to Michigan State.
Plus, it is basketball season. A ranked Illinois staff simply gained twice this week with Dain Dainja turning into the early-season star. This is not Kentucky-level “Basketball faculty” vs. “Soccer faculty” however issues development extra towards the previous in Champaign.
Possibly I am fallacious and the gang will probably be poppin’. It may occur. The crowds have been higher this season the longer it is gone. We’ll see.

Should Biden step aside? Illinois Democrat congressman weighs in
![Should Biden step aside? Illinois Democrat congressman weighs in](https://images.foxtv.com/static.fox32chicago.com/www.fox32chicago.com/content/uploads/2024/07/1280/720/biden-quigley.jpg?ve=1&tl=1)
Should Biden step aside? Illinois Democrat weighs in
Illinois lawmaker Mike Quigley sat down with FOX 32 to discuss whether President Joe Biden should step aside following his poor debate performance.
CHICAGO – Calls within the Democratic Party for President Joe Biden to step aside are growing louder.
Illinois Democratic Congressman Mike Quigley expressed concerns following Biden’s poorly received debate performance last week, which has caused a dip in his polling numbers. Democrats are now worried not only about keeping Donald Trump out of office but also about their prospects in the House and Senate.
“At this point, it’s Joe Biden, unless he decides he’s not that nominee,” Quigley said. “We move forward with that understanding unless there’s a change.”
White House officials and Biden campaign surrogates have claimed the president simply had a bad night during the debate. However, Quigley believes Biden’s problems extend beyond a single debate.
“I think we gotta be honest with ourselves, this wasn’t just one bad debate performance. There are very real concerns, and you have to take the voters for where they are, not where you want them to be,” Quigley said.
Quigley emphasized that the decision is ultimately Biden’s to make, but he should consider his lagging poll numbers and their effect on down-ballot races.
“If I were to talk to him, what I would say is, this was a tough race, it’s going to be a much tougher race. You were down in states, that hasn’t changed, got worse, so we’ve gotta make a decision, one he alone has to make,” Quigley added.
US President Joe Biden delivers remarks on the Supreme Courts immunity ruling at the Cross Hall of the White House in Washington, DC on July 1, 2024. The US Supreme Court ruled July 1, 2024 that Donald Trump enjoys some immunity from prosecution as a
Quigley is not the only top Democrat speaking out. Texas Congressman Lloyd Doggett publicly called on Biden to step aside, and South Carolina Democratic stalwart Jim Clyburn said he would support Vice President Kamala Harris should Biden step aside. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also suggested that both Trump and Biden should take cognitive tests.
Quigley believes Biden would leave with his head held high if he chose to step down now.
“He’s really had one of the most successful presidencies of my lifetime, so I think what he has to appreciate is, that should be his legacy, and where do we go from here. That decision rests with only one person, and that’s President Biden. He has to come to terms with that,” Quigley stated.
A Democratic strategist expressed doubts about Biden’s ability to continue given his poor polling numbers. Reports indicate that Biden plans to meet with top Democrats on Capitol Hill and governors and will sit down for an interview with ABC News on Friday.
