A turtle was chosen because of their long lifespan, which was meant to symbolize the long life of the rivalry between the Buckeyes and the Illini.

The original Illibuck had no such luck, however, and passed away in 1927.

Should read:

The original Illibuck knew better and promptly died two years later predicting the lopsidedness that would ultimately result.

I think "Gene Smith's door stop" works just fine.

Gene Smith's Executive Assistant: "Mr. Smith, the cleaning crew misplaced your door stop last night and tomorrow is the game with Illinois. I am so sorry. What should we do?"

GS: "There is an all night wood carving place out on route 40. Ask for Mikey. Tell him you are a friend of James Patrick, he should have you a replacement in about an hour."

EA: "but that not exactly proper is it? I mean what about the quality? Won't they notice?"

GS: "Listen, I'm not looking for fair and I'm not worried about quality. You tell Mikey I need a general shape, color and four fucking flippers. Illinois will never get close enough to it to know the difference"

EA: "We've done this before?"

GS: 'Many times"

Despite all the jokes, this Illinois team gave Wisconsin a game. I expect the Bucks to blow them out regardless, but they will give it their best shot. It’s all they have left.

They don’t have Juice, but I will never take them lightly after that game. Talk about a miserable feeling.

My wife sent a friend over after that game to pick me up and bring me to where she and the kids were. She knew that there'd be no frick'n way I should be behind the wheel after that game. She was right. I damn near played kill the keg with the Guinness tap that day.

Unlike last week, I hope they get 3 on the board. I almost feel bad if we run up the score-- because I know the reason we'd be doing it has more to do with image.

Almost.
