Today on the online inquire podcast, we have a special super-sized edition of our weekly preview of the Illinois football game, number one, because

0:23.5

it's Illinois playing the number one Oregon Ducks. So it's going to be a little extra long on

0:29.1

this one, but I do think it is well worth it. Partly because we have Brad Nestler on the

0:35.1

Alina Inquirer podcast. Yes, the CBS sports play by playman. He and

0:39.7

Gary Danielson do such a great job. But they are the A team at CBS and they are on the call for Illinois
