[QUOTE="DeonThomas, post: 1672152, member: 748424"] Curious......which of those 8 wins were "remarkable" in your mind? I admit the 2007 victory in the "Juice Williams game" was remarkable, but those 1983-1994 wins were totally legit. For 12-15 years we looked every bit like we belonged on the field with Michigan, OSU and every team we faced. After Mike White arrived, we were the emerging 3rd power team in the Big 10 --- before Iowa and Wisconsin because "that team". [U]As for that 12-year stretch vs. Ohio St:[/U] * We each played in 1 Rose Bowl (we each lost) * OSU averaged just under 4 losses per year * Illinois averaged 4.5 losses per year * Overall, yeah, OSU was admittedly a little better nationally [/QUOTE]
