As the 2017 college football season approaches, we here at TCR asked YOU the fans for your predictions of how this year would go for the Illini. The only catch was that you needed to send us your predictions using a GIF (animated graphic). Thanks to the magic of social media (aka Twitter), we received over one hundred different predictions last week, and you the fans gave us your thoughts about how the Fighting Illini would fare this upcoming season.
We wanted to share what some of the more popular GIF predictions looked like, as well as the GIFs chosen by members of our staff. You can view ALL of the submissions by clicking on this link.
Hey! We need your help...

After careful GIF consideration, we believe this best represents how we'll respond to Illinois this fall.
