Who: University of Illionois at Urbana-Champaign. The Fighting Illini. Their mascot may of may not be Chief Illinewek. Undergrad population of a little over 31,000.
What: Step (f)5.
When: Tomorrow at noon eastern, butt crack of dawn pacific time.
Where: Memorial Stadium and Big Ten Network.(On the Rocks in Redondo Beach, Ca. for me. They have Buckeye watch party specials! Hammed by noon.)
Why: I like turtles.
Ron Zook likes turtles too. Unfortunately for Zooker, he doesn't have an awesome zombie face paint job...... or a job in a few months with the way things are looking. Oh the Big Ten coaching hot-seat, sounds like a popular place this time of year.
Good news everyone, Big Ten play starts tomorrow! You know what that means? Well a couple of things really; we can root against Michigan without the whole "conference prestige" BS and the Buckeyes get to face off against familiar competition. It's kind of a "devil you know" situation. Illinois first played OSU in 1902 and OSU leads the series 62-30 with 4 ties coming in there too. Remember when there were ties? Wow, that was lame. It's been a couple of years since Illinois and Juice Williams came to Columbus and took the wind out of our sails. Admittedly I was super pissed because it was my first trip back to Columbus since graduating. Not exactly how I wanted that to go.....
