I'm sure you read all the parts that are worth reading.

Yeah - somewhere I saw that the line was -14, and O/U was 48. That means they expect a 31-17 game. Ohio State scored more, and gave up less. And it felt like we didn't do all we could? As a fan, I'll take it. I hope Ryan Day is fixing whatever needs to be fixed.

Sorry, Luke. I'm rooting for you, but not this week.

Dammit. And I talked myself out of picking Northwestern. No way Penn State lays an egg, again, right? Right?

Nope. That keeps the game exciting. If we don't like it, don't put our 2s in, already. Score here... and THEN put our 2s in..

Meh. When it's a 2-score game, soon to be 3 scores, you need to pump up the underdog to make it seem more interesting than it is. Now they're in there so deep they can't come out.

Even me?

Are all fan bases like this? I always thought it was just Penn State. https://www.illinoisloyalty.com/post/game-thread-illinois-vs-ohio-state.39934/page-29

Agreed. Funny, though, that where the defender is looking is more important than the amount of contact being made. I think we've all seen plays where there was no contact, but the defender didn't look back. 2006 The Game - I'll find the play if you need the example.

I like that the Illinois fans are whining about officials.

Do you even SEC or ESPN? 1. Did you see what happened last year? Tennessee unfairly had to go to Columbus in -25 degree snowstorm with 170mph winds. I mean, it was so cold that Tennessee's helmets were cracking. That doesn't happen in a dome or neutral stadium. This is a player safety thing. 2...

This sounds a little like mom-shaming... Also, how many skittles can she fit in her nose?

According to the Upset picks thread, Texas is now only favored by 1. My $10 bet is already worth $10.18 if I cash out now.

I set the bar low enough that I can trip over it and still probably succeed.

Oregon State. (I realize now that I forgot to pick last week. My pick was Florida, but it doesn't matter if I don't say it.)
