Nope. I hope he loses and goes to a bowl game his team doesn't care about and he loses that too.So you don’t want revenge on Dabo?

He's a B1G guy and he very well could.Brett may do decent at UI.
Definitely a day of reckoningThis scene in 2007 was college football's Jesus coming back to get His people and slaughter the pagans who'd been laughing for years. The laughing stopped with this scene...
