The Corn and The Cheese

Hi ho the Dairy Oh, The Corn and the Cheese. Corn 31, Cheese 26. And, I watched it from the comfort of my own home. Granted, i would have LOVED to ahve been at memorial stadium on Saturday, but if I couldn't be there, at least I could watch it. It is great to see the Illini finally getting a chance. They aren't just winning, but they are beating teams who are in Division 1!!! I must say, I do enjoy listening to the announcers. They drive me crazy. They talk about these players and how they are so great but no one has heard of them until today. They imply that these guys sucked for the last several years. For instance, Rashard Mendenhall is the running back no one has heard of - hello, in Champaing we are VERY familiar with his name. This isn't something new. Same with J. Lehman. You are just finally giving us a speck of attention. Ron Zook, you did us proud. Thanks for all the hard work to you and your boys.

I will admit, I look forward to stoppin by the office of the one Badger fan I work with an needling him a little. I wouldn't be doing it, except when I saw him Thursday he decided to give me a hard time :-)

I also need to add this one to the pot. this is the Second time this type of thing has happened. During undergrad we were a part of the 0-11 years. The year after I left we went to the Sugar Bowl. Likewise, it is looking like a repeat. Last year was full of losses and we are practically bowl bound already!!! Also, congrats to them on joining the AP top 25. Once again, first time back in there 2001. So, I think what this says is that if I start spending every other year as a student of the U of I, they will have really good seasons every other year!!

In other football news, I watched the LSU game Saturday night. It was absolutely AMAZING. If you didn't see it and you are like me and don't watch Sportscenter, you need to read about it. The last quarter was so great. Talk about a fatal combination of talent and luck. Les Miles made 5 or 6 huge gambles, and every single one paid off. It was the type of game that made it worth your while to watch. I can't immagine being a tiger or gator fan and watching it though. i would have made myself sick!

The rest of my saturday night was spent giving Daisy a bath to try to de-blue her butt. Some girls stay in and wash their hair on Saturday nights. Me, i stay in and wash my dog's hair. What that says about me, I'm not sure. For one thing it definitely says I'm lame. But, i'm OK with thtat. Note taht the blue got out. Then she got some white on her whiskers yesterday. We just can't win!!! :c)
