Chicago Illini Bar Comes Through in the Clutch Again, for Humor This is the banner just hung up this morning outside of my neighborhood Illini bar (the only neighborhood Illini bar). While the self-deprecating admission of truth is amusing, I really like that it was hung the morning of the Big Game at Wrigley when, considering the marketing potential and attention the game has received, you'd think they'd want to be as positive and optimistic as possible. Edit: This, by the way, is the same bar that gave us this little gem this past August.

Northwestern to forgo use of one endzone...

Well, Northwestern probably wasn't going to use their endzone anyway after losing Persa and 80% of their offense...

Cuz Caring is Creepy updates have been few and far between. Hawkeye commit Jacob Rudock put up huge numbers this season. While leading St. Thomas Aquinas High School (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) to another 10-0 record, Rudock went 106/161/2 for 2002 yards and 28 touchdowns. Yep, statistically, every fourth toss completed went for a TD. Passes averaged 19 yards each. Of course, it helps when you have a great cadre of athletes surrounding you, especially one with the last name of Dorsett. The season's highlights are a little ridiculous. If you have a lot of free time, I suggest going to the St. Thomas Aquinas youtube page to see for yourself. Oh, and he set the school record for career touchdown passes this season. Looks like we'll have some depth at QB for the forseeable future.

Bacon Pancakes Have Met Their Match

I know the baconcakes were a happy-enducing idea. But I think I just found its trump card. This is not sports or Hawkeye related but it is our duty as Americans to view this heart pummeling concoction. Incidentally, Stumbleupon may be the greatest website ever. Outside of BHGP of course.
