Ok, I'm sick of all this Mizzou talk. Time to give some love to Illinois.

The win over Ohio was huge - one for the ages - but the thing that is getting me excited is Zook's recruitment of these speedy players. I've always thought of the Big 10 as a slow conference, and with Zook's spread offense and the Illini's speed, they're going to be big players in the Big 10 soon. Arrelious Benn is going to dominate the Big 10's secondary for years to come.

I'm with ya a gazillion percent! I'm just excited to see some offense. After so many years of a sometimes ok defense and nonexistent offense, I'm happy to see mucho points on the board. Juice Williams had a great game.....well, everyone did!

My husband and I already checked the bowl possibilities...if they play in Florida, we're going! From ATL to Orlando or Tampa is fairly easy....can't wait!

I walked out of the room to get my daughter ready for a sleepover when it looked like the Illini had decided to punt with 8 minutes left thinking that it would be crazy to go for it. Unbelievable call. But md, anyone who refers to OSU as Ohio has no credibility.

They can call themselves Ohio State. OSU is Oregon State University.

Come on folks. It's quite clear that they are not "Ohio", they are not "OSU", and they are not "Ohio State". It's "The Ohio State University".

What about the Oklahoma State Cowboys?

I have no credibility either. Also, I was typing from my cell and when I backspace entire entries are lost so I went with OSU when I really meant Uh-high-uh State.

oh, and google OSU, mr smartypants and see what you get.

Actually they are correctly referred to as The the[/] Ohio State University.

I actually got all three, in a pretty good mix.

You know what excited me the most about the Illini victory over Ohio State? It helped Mizzou's BCS ranking, nudging them ahead of Ohio State and making that MU victory over Illinois look all the better.

(you may now continue with your regularly scheduled program... and congrats on a big win)
