I'm heading to Champaign for the game this year and it will be my first trip there. So I'm looking for some insight on what to do, bars, restaurants, etc. that I should hit up. Anybody in 11w nation ever been? Live in the area? Went to grad school there? Let me know cuz I'll be there Saturday-Sunday. Also, does anyone know when they will announce the game time for this one? Next week?
