Nov. 27 Illinois football chat

In between chowing down on some turkey and giving thanks this week, feel free to direct your questions about the Illinois football team to sports editor and beat writer Matt Daniels for his 2 p.m. Friday chat. The Illini head to Chicago facing much the same situation as a year ago — beat Northwestern and become bowl eligible. Hat! This season, of course, has the added wrinkle of Bill Cubit fighting to remove the "interim" tag from his job title. Will the Illini pull off the must-win game against the Wildcats for a second straight season? Will Cubit keep the head coaching job?
