Sign up for our daily Illini football newsletter here Greetings from "Can't Wait For Saturday," your morning morsel of college football, courtesy of longtime Illini beat writer, AP Top 25 voter and Heisman state rep Bob Asmussen. He'll give you his views each day on the game he loves. *** The Illinois football season is less than two weeks away, which means it is prediction season. Once again, your beloved Can't Wait For Saturday will host a weekly picking contest for the Illinois games. It has been a minute, so here are the particulars: 1. Come up with a guess for the Illinois game, including the winner and scores for both teams. Example: Illinois 42, UAB 14. 2. Email your picks to asmussen@news-gazette.com. You can make the process easier by including your prediction on the subject line. It really helps. 3. Include your name and where you live now. If you are an Illinois alum include that too. And any other comments are always welcome and may be part of the story if you win. Hopefully not mean stuff about me, but if it is funny I will use it. 4, (Not sure why I numbered these. Oh, well) Anyone who nails the exact score for both teams wins a $50 Papa Del's gift card. It has happened. If there are no exact matches, all the winners will go into a drawing at the end of the season. Each week, I will announce the winner in this space along with a call for the next week's picks. There have been many entries since I started doing this and I really appreciate the participation. Good luck on your picks. A helpful hint: Bret Bielema has not lost an opener as Illinois coach.
