GOD, the hotel situation in Indianapolis is awful for the Big Ten Championship Game weekend. I'm going to book a free cancellation hotel and hope that a bunch of Michigan or OSU fans drop their rooms when one of them loses to the other later this season, and Illini fans can pounce - assuming we can win the West, of course. 
My sister picked the wrong year to move from Indianapolis!

Really need to win this weekend lol
This is when we know God hates The Illini and we all kill ourselves.
Pretty amazing that this is still possible. And it doesn't even require a single win by a West team over Ohio State, Michigan or Penn State, so nothing truly shocking required.
Dunno man, Northwestern winning 3 straight would be truly shocking to me.
Sure, three straight, but no individual game result would be shocking, for NW or others. Probably not an underdog win >14 point spread on that whole board.
What’s impressive about this is that it works. There are so many moving parts, and they all have to move precisely, like Soduko crossed with Rubics cube.

Herbstreit is a straight shooter and I like his analysis on most things college football.
Keep taking care of business.....
Pretty favorable conference schedule this season and with what is left. At Nebraska, home vs Purdue and Michigan St, at Michigan and at Northwestern. I don't like to look past one game at a time but I am not making any excuses if we don't win the West Division this season (barring any serious injuries)

I didn't realize Whitenack has played in so many games. Is he getting real reps or is it mop up duty?

1. He is correct.
2. He looks so bad now they needed to use a 12-year-old picture in the article?
3. Including his redshirt, he was at tOSU from 1988-1992. From fightingillini.com, his tenure coincides with our best-ever extended showing vs. the Buckeyes. Thanks Kirk.

correct , Kirkie was never on a tO$U roster that ever beat the Illini
and Kirkie is correct - we were totally irrelevant in football for about the past 15 years

Even our 6-0 start in 2011 carried WAY less hype than what we have gotten this year … this team is passing the eye test!
I believe primarily special teams.

Did I totally invent this or was there some discussion in recent years about non-playoff bowl games not counting toward redshirt eligibility? That would make a lot of sense to me.
