Okay I'll be the guy to give them props. Illinois is a whole lot better than I think anyone in the country thought. Boeckman made 3 huge errors and that cost them the game.
Congrats on winning more games this year than the last 4 combined. Looks like Zook has the program turned around.

Oh and nice show of class by dancing on the Block O. At least act like you've been there before.

hahahahahaha

You always seem to provide intelligent information.

But they haven't beat a #1 since the fifties.. They haven't been "there" before..

So they can't show class and not act like a bunch of thug punks?

I think you are overreacting, but I can see why.

Meh, coulda been a lot worse. I just thought is was weak of them to do that.

to do this, you must actually have been there before at some point.


i kid though, seriously, thank you Illinois for making sure we dont have the Buckeyes ruining another BCS championship game.....

ya i wish they woulda taken a shit right in the middle of the O

Someone's a little bitter about McGahee shredding his knee.

well I am in that that was one of the more painful plays I have ever witnessed.


however, i will admit that I vastly underestimated THAT buckeye team. that was a great team. they had to be to beat miami who was also a great team. that osu defense was fierce.

this buckeye team is nowhere near as good as that team was. they are not even as good as last year's buckeye squad. and i do think they would have gotten their asses handed to them again by either LSU or Oregon. they could probably take the Jayhawks.

Oregon's the best team in the nation, IMO.

Agreed all the way around.

Bring it..

good luck, You guys will need it.

But congrats on being bowl eligible this year... 10/11 teams in Big ten are bowl eligible, amazing.

Act like you've been there before doesn't necessarily apply if you HAVEN'T been there before.

Huge win for the Illini....makes it even more frustrating they lost to freaking Iowa.

Doesn't seem to be a "GREAT" team in college FB this year.

Yeah, tell me about it.. I didn't see the game, but I know they could and should have won. If they would have then they would be contending for the Big Ten title.. Also, their loss to Mizzou in their first game was extremely close. They might have won that one if Juice didn't get hurt. And the game vs. Mich was a close one until the IL punt returner muffed a punt near their end zone.. But I can make up millions of excuses. It's been a great year regardless of the few losses. Right now, it looks like they'll play Florida in their bowl game

I have been pumping the Ducks since I saw them slaughter Michigan. In some thread on here, I talked about how USC would definitely lose to Oregon (of course by the time that game actually occurred it was not much of a prediction.


If LSU, Oregon and Kansas all win out I think Oregon will get ****ed again just like in 2001. (Miami would have blown them out that year though). I agree Oregon is the best team and it will be a real shame if they get left out in the cold again.

Thank you. This was my point.
