On Saturday Nick, Emily and I headed up to Evanston for the Ohio State – Northwestern game. The game started kind of slow but Ohio State pulled away early in the third quarter. Terrelle Pryor could consider this his breakout game after some of the touchdown passes he threw. Northwestern’s game planned consists of the Quarterback Draw and the punt.
Up next: Illinois:
Tonight I went to a Ohio State Alumni gathering at McGee’s Tavern hosted by the OSU Alumni Club of Chicago which I will be helping relaunch their website in the near future. The event was a good time. I was probably one of only a handful of people not dressed in a suit but that was fine since Ohio State President Gordon Gee told me he like my shirt.
That’s really all that counts.
Needless to say this has been the most dynamic College Football season of recent memory. From Michigan and Notre Dame starting 0-2 to South Florida sitting at number 2 in the first BCS Poll. Not only is USF in the top 15 but so is Boston College, Kentucky, South Carolina and Kansas. What is going on in College Football?

Of course I found the only USF fan in Illinois this weekend siting next to me at the bar. This man guaranteed to me that USF would roll throw a Big Ten schedule and would beat Ohio State by 20 points ala Florida. If this guy didn’t have the grip of a coal miner I might have been able to sway him more. I guess we’ll see when they face off against Syracuse and Pittsburgh… but I digress.
And to top off the week I watched Vinny Testaverde throw a touchdown pass in High Definition. Is this even possible. I wonder if Vinny is available for flag football games? Here’s to hoping the Ol’ Ball Coach wins the SEC.
