How could U of I not beat the 35 point spread...?

Sorry about the lack of posting, here's a little something to tide you over:

This picture is from when Eric, Scott, Phil M. and I went to the U of I / OSU football game in Columbus, Ohio last fall. We spent the whole day drinking and went to the game after halftime.

Mind you that during game-time in Columbus NO ONE is in the concourse, it is like being in the hallway in church during the service. It is highly frowned upon by the locals.

This picture was taken when were were wandering around the entire stadium after entering from the opposite entrance. We were merely looking for our seats and asked this nice young lady to help us and maybe take a picture with us. This is the result:

I'm guessing she would have punched me in the side of the head if I had gotten any closer, but the picture obviously turned out to be well worth the danger.

Still haven't found our seats:

Finally, found them at about the start of the 4th quarter with Illinois down by about 30. Look how happy we were:

We left approximately 4 1/2 minutes later following another OSU touchdown... good times.
