May not be a bad thing either to force us to figure it out on the ground but the long range is showing 70 degrees and 6 mph winds

Great news lol

Sampled some of my Illinois fan neighbors. They can’t believe we’re favored by two touchdowns and the O/U is “only” 48. They think they’re scoring more than 28.

I enjoy the all the tough guy coach speak. It's really funny to me but there's also truth in it. One of my favorites is "coaches dont make the lineup, players do"
Bo Jackson has made the lineup

We gonna break that sentient beer gut. Fuck him.

Not sure if it can be broken but I think we can make him feel like his wife padlocked the fridge shut again.

You really think she knows where all his fridges are?

A + B = 48
A - B = 14
A = 31, B = 17.
What does Illinois think they can do that Ohio U, Washington, AND Minnesota (combined) could barely do?

I was assuming "padlocked the fridge" was a euphemism for something even grosser to envision.

Overrated qb and coach

OK, so as I see it with all the hoopla over Miami beating a 4-1 #18 Florida State last week, Ohio State beating a 5-1 #17 Illinois this week should basically eliminate all of that no?

So everybody get in Heather Dinichs mentions about it when the Buckeyes win by more than a measly 6 points!

It seems like Illinois is similar to Washington on offense with a pretty good QB Altmyer (though not as mobile) who has 10 TD passes to just 1 interception. Also a pretty good RB in Fagan who has nice speed. And a really good WR in Hank Beatty. Altmyer likes to use the slant pass and so it will be interesting to see how the Silver Bullets meet the challenge on Saturday.

Agreed, although Altmyer actually has 12 passing TDs and no picks.

I figured based on the dozens of Miami highlights they showed during our game, they would win by about 40. Imagine my surprise when I saw the final score.
