My sources say they tried to honor him and he simply “dropped the ball.”

Made worse by that our defense had bowed up and gotten us a tuff stop on 4th and short and a three and out and then we had unforced pants poopery from the offense.

I can't find a full replay to confirm but I remember the punt on the play before it looked like Boston had a chance for a big return but then read the ball wrong and called a fair catch when he had plenty of space.

Where my dawgs at?!?!

I left Seattle at 2 a.m. because, as every Husky fan knows, real loyalty means sacrificing sleep, dignity and your checking account. Packed the essentials:

• 14 Space Dusts (because light beer is for people who think “Cougar Gold” is a wine, amirite?)
• A Bluetooth speaker preloaded with “Bow Down to Washington” on repeat
• A Patagonia vest (mandatory, ha)
• And, of course, a laminated chart proving Jake Locker > Juice Williams in every conceivable metric.

Flight? Red-eye from Seatown. Middle seat. Between a guy in a WSU hoodie who kept burping “Cougs house!” and a woman who asked if UW was “that school in Wisconsin.”

Landed in Chicago, rented a car. They gave me a Chevy Spark. A SPARK. I’m a Husky, not a hamster. Hit I-74, passed 400 miles of corn, and started questioning if Illinois even has humans or if it’s just a simulation run by John Deere.

Finally, I roll into Memorial Stadium at 7:30 a.m., ready to tailgate like Don James himself is watching. I fire up the Coleman road-tripper, crack a dusty, and blast the fight song loud enough to scare prairie dogs. I’m feeling elite. I’m feeling smug. I’m feeling… alone.

Because here’s the thing: THERE’S NOBODY HERE. No orange. No blue. No bratwurst smoke. Just me, my grill, and a stadium that looks like it’s hosting a library convention. Did Illinois cancel football? El-Oh-El

At this point, I’m wandering the parking lot like a lost Patagonia model, muttering about Marques Tuiasosopo being better than anyone Illinois ever recruited. Red Grange? Cute. Dick Butkus? Adorable. But could they handle the Pac-12 grind? Please.

So yeah, if anyone knows why Champaign looks like the set of The Walking Dead instead of a Big Ten showdown, hit me up. Until then, I’ll be here explaining to the squirrels why Reggie Williams > Brandon Lloyd and sipping my Spacey like the pretentious West Coast elitist I am.

Go Dawgs. Beat Illinois. (If they actually show up, har har.)

Why lump us in with that necrophiliac @trublue ?

Speaking of ethnic types, what the hell happened to @RatherBeBrewing ? He went quiet for a long time and we thought he was ded in Ukraine only for him to pop back up for a short while and disappear again.

That video made me throw up in my mouth. AD can fuck the fuck off asking for donations funding that arrogance and sloth.

Act like you've been there before, babe.

Carol James weeps.

No one's shoes have run sideline to sideline more than Jaydon's… or ran out of bounds at the worst possible time.

We are preserving Manu’s redshirt so he can go cash in at wherever Fisch goes. Honestly with the portal we should no longer give a fuck if someone burns their redshirt.
