Well that was fun. Illini get nasty on Michigan 38-13


Look I know that this game deserves a hell of alot more attention than I am able to give to it right now, so expect a much more thorough post game tomorrow. But for now, enjoy these fun facts.

  • Illinois shut the door on Michigan in the second half. No points, none allowed by the Illini defense after halftime.
  • Illinois has beaten Michigan at home for the first time since 1983. Jack Trudeau to Clint Brewster FTW
  • This is the first time since the 50s that the Illini have beaten Michigan in back to back years.
  • Mikel Leshoure earned himself the chairmanship of the committee today going for 150 yards on the ground. Including the epic win of 70 yards for the TD.

Look its been a while since we have been able to enjoy a football victory. So I am ordering you to go out tonight and celebrate Halloween right, by getting bombed.

 

 

See you when I come to. Enjoy yourselves.

Well I hate to see an empty comments section so now it's not

I wish that I had been able to see that whole game yesterday, it sucks that they got good after I left. Or maybe that’s why they got good, but then there were other games that I didn’t see that they sucked. So who the hell knows.

You're the fail to my win?

I was on the road for the duration of the second half . . .

and by the time I was on the home stretch, every once in awhile I was screaming “HOW ABOUT ANOTHER TIMEOUT, RICH?!” I’m sure people were staring laser beams at me as they drove by looking at this crazed maniac screaming at the top of his lungs while driving alone in his car. Thankfully, I’m rural.

One day, David Backes and Albert Pujols will combine forces to become the most awesome piece of violent force known to man.
