Confession: I hate the OOC part of the season. If I wasn't in charge of You Bet Your Ass, I would love it. It's football. It's random. It's chaos.
But I am in charge of YBYA and it means I have to type too many damn things and spend time scrambling to find gambling lines that don't exist (at time of writing) for games no one wants to watch (looking at you Indiana State-Purdue). You'll notice we aren't betting on the Illinois game. That's because as of 7:44 PM on 9/10/15, there wasn't a line on our odds site. This should be the only time this happens with the Illini all year.
