I said on Twitter last night that I would publish the stat we discovered during this podcast when I published this episode this morning. But now I think this needs to be a two-part thing. I'll let you listen to the podcast first and then I'll go write about the stat we discovered. So Part II will be later today (in written form).

Part I is this chat with @BobZuppke (not the real Bob Zuppke - he's buried across the street from the stadium) where we talk about what we've all been talking about all season: where is the line between "8-4 is incredible" and "oh man we really should be 10-2"? How do you define success for Illinois football? And why in the name of all that's holy was Chase Brown 2nd team All Big Ten?

You listen to this, and I'll go write, and then let's meet up again this afternoon so you can read Part II. Because you're going to want to know more about the stat once you reach the end of this pod.
