@Fungo Squiggly Do it! Drive to Champaign and back, Bitch!

 

[Dryden]

I desperately need somebody to talk me out of driving out to (and back from) this game on Saturday. All responses will be considered.

Go.

Can we just talk you out of coming back? Like, drive out there, realize what a weekend is like without a wife and mother-in-law, so just never return home. Vanish into a Chicago bowling alley for a Buckeye watch party and pass yourself off as a former Ohio State TE that played in the Rose Bowl.

Go.

Thinking of doing the same, except I've got a 3 hour head start here in Indy.

So...yeah.

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

In the only game this year where Illinois has faced an actual defense, they got absolutely throttled--at home--by MSU...128 yards of total offense and 3 points.

 

[MD Buckeye]

The defense is facing the leading passer in the B1G for the 2nd time this season......we all saw what happened the 1st time.......

 

[kujirakira]

I don't know, according to ESPN's bloggers Scheelhause is the best QB in the Conference.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Give me your ticket, buy me a plane ticket & book a hotel room for me. Done.

I don't have a ticket yet so you're out of luck there, but if you drive all night on Friday, you can ride with us on Saturday. Leaving at 5:30. I'll even pick up your ticket when we get there.

So, MD and I will pick you up about 8:30?

Bitch up. Choose positivity.

The Illinois QB is nothing like the PSU QB though.

 

[MD Buckeye]

The Illinois QB is nothing like the PSU QB though.

Agree. Just looking at it from a challenge/motivation standpoint.

 

[LordJeffBuck]

I don't know, according to ESPN's bloggers Scheelhause is the best QB in the Conference.

In his first three games against Ohio State, Scheelhaasse is 51 for 90 (.567 completion percentage) for 374 yards (124.7 yards per game) with 1 touchdown, 4 interceptions, and 7 sacks. He also has 97 yards rushing on 42 attempts (2.31 ypc) and a touchdown. He must have improved greatly as a senior.

True that. The moment a PSU QB recruit signs, they are immediately endowed with maximum moxie and BOB will automatically transform them into Tom Brady.

 

[grnvllbuck]

Those ratbastards beat us at home when I made the death march from Atlanta to Columbus in 2007. I hope there's enough institutional memory in there somewhere to exorcise Juice Williams from my nightmares.

I was there as well, the whole day sucked...It was cold, rainy, I had to sit in South Stands, and of course, severely hungover.

 

[RugbyBuck]

We were at the very top of the Old & Grungy side of the stadium. Fortunately, there wasn't much to cheer about or I might've been blown off and into the river.

 

[Yertle]

Illinois sucks. OSU doesn't. Boom goes the dynamite.

 

[buckeyemania11]

50+ points is highly likely for the 3rd week in a row

illini have a grand total of 11 sacks on the year

2 total team ints....

allow 5.5 ypc

no pressure, no turnover creating ability....just all around awful d
