Off to Pasadena I go...enjoy the game everyone!

 

Prediction: Benn is going to have a sick game.

He will indeed catch many passes once Illinois is down 14+.

Ok did anyone(Illini fans) just catch Lou Holts pre game speech if he was Ron Zook? Say what you will about Holtz, but that speech gave me chills, and had me ready to suit up and go kick USC's ass. Wow, I would love to hear some of his pre game pep talks while he was at ND.

I thought the speech was horrible. He even used the phrase "polly anas" I dont even know what the hell that means. Basically it translated to me like "meh, you guys are going to lose, but you should at least try". Hes already passed the 50% senile mark. And yeah, he would make a speech pathologist cry.

They've actually showed a couple of his pre-game pep talks on ESPN Classic from time to time during a Notre Dame season retrospective. They are awesome. The speeches I've heard from him recently aren't as good.

To each his own I guess. I thought it was good.

Personally I think Holtz's speeches are one of the stupidest things ESPN does in a long, long line of stupid things. I was glad that he did ku's pregame speech against Mizzou. I really don't ever want that bumbling idiot ever associated with my school.

Sorry man, but that can't be to each his own. Those speeches are some of the worst things on television. You got chills? Were you standing in a snow drift?

today's "never get off the couch" schedule will probably start by flipping between the Outback and Cotton Bowls, then switch over the Capitol One, followed by the Rose and Sugar. God I love January 1st

Hahaha, I was in Old Town Pasadena last night and these Illini fans were trying to sing their fight song to Pasadena PD and didn't know the words. It was hilarious.

 

That is all.

[Mephistopheles]

[Mephistopheles]
