Today a caravan of people traveled the 2 plus hours to\u00a0Champaign, IL for the Ohio State – Illinois<\/a> game. \u00a0Considering this was the second 11am kickoff in two weeks it was much easier to get up this week than last but that probably had a lot to do with the lack of Cosby Sweaters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We made it down to\u00a0Champaign\u00a0where we utilized Emily’s parents parking spot right across from Memorial Stadium<\/a> in the “Loyalty Circle”. \u00a0Our spot was next to Kentucky Fried Chicken’s but it seems the\u00a0Colonel<\/a>\u00a0decided to sit this one out.<\/p>\n

The game went about as well as the Northwestern game.<\/a> \u00a0Pryor was spot on, Wells’ toe is the only way to tackle him and Ron Zook is a great decision maker.<\/p>\n

Our seats were pretty good but as you can see from the pictures we were slightly\u00a0obstructed\u00a0by the Illini bench. \u00a0We had some what of an\u00a0incident\u00a0when a bunch of drunk douchebags showed up directly behind us. \u00a0They were all gun-ho for about 10 minutes and then two of them passed out. \u00a0About 10 minutes later one of them vomited on\u00a0themselves.<\/p>\n

I adhere to a strict rule when attending sporting events: \u00a0<\/p>\n

If you vomit, you leave.<\/p>\n

It’s pretty simple and I believe Civilization hinges on upholding this standard. \u00a0After telling the guys who were with the offender that he’d have to go they decided otherwise. \u00a0Nick and I decided that we’d have to get the usher. \u00a0Needless to say the issue was resolved when the Illinois State Police<\/a> got involved.<\/p>\n

* As a side note this is the second time in as many days that I’ve been at a sporting event where some one has thrown up in the seats behind me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
