Sweet. Probably not up to New Madrid, but whose fault is that?
Steel work would be unbelievable. My three children (all in their 40's now) chose to go to private school where their school costs were roughly 15 times mine a generation earlier...
The threat of the draft kept me in school and the lottery system kept me out of Viet Nam. Your dad is to be honored for serving! I was not a protester then, but I look back 60 years later and wonder what the heck we were doing there.
Our great education was a steal at the cost we paid....

What Illini QB Tommy DeVito needs to do to capitalize on Michigan State defensive absences
The Michigan State football team is without its top pass rusher and a starting safety among eight suspended players vs. Illinois.
By Anderson Kimball Decatur (Ill.) Herald & Review
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — When Illinois hosts Michigan State on Saturday, the Illini will go up against a depleted Spartans defense.
After a postgame incident in the tunnel after Michigan State’s loss to in-state rival Michigan, the Spartans suspended eight players. That included five players who have started a game this season.
“I don’t think they’re going to change anything schematically, but we kind of just play who plays on Saturday and figure it out from there,” Illinois coach Bret Bielema said.
The biggest loss for the Spartans is edge rusher Jacoby Windmon. Windmon leads the FBS in forced fumbles with six and leads the Big Ten with 11 tackles for loss. He also has 6.5 sacks in eight games this season.
Starting safety Angelo Grose is also suspended along with other rotational players.
That means an opportunity for the Illinois (7-1, 6-1 Big Ten) offense that has been minimizing turnovers over the past couple of weeks to pair with its impressive running game. Illinois has just one turnover over the past two games, and its passing offense has improved in efficiency and will go up against a unit without its top pass rusher and a safety.
Might be the first to report from the tailgate lots, but this heavy rain and wind is worse than I imagined. Came up from Ficklin through Tuscola and Pesotum and it wasn’t pretty.
Should clear up rain-wise by game time but tailgating will not be optimal. Going back to bed in our camper, hoping the Cialis kicks in and then prepping the hog (the animal we will eat not the euphemism) for a great day.
Super random but I never realized that former Punter Blake Hayes is the grand nephew of former WWF announcer Lord Alfred Hayes!

Temp will be dropping during the game also, so bring some warm gear!
I wonder if there were any other MSU players that did not make the travel roster?

High wind means RBs are going to need to carry the ball a lot.
Get those tix!!!

LETS GO!!!!!!!
Yeah, I see what you did there
Hmmm, that would leave NL # 2 looking for a way to fill her day in Paducah while the 3 of you are gone. Road Trip!
Better get the ball into the end zone. Kicking will be a trip.
Thanks for the update. I’ll be there soon and will come looking for your hog (the animal you will eat not the euphemism).
