Very little to say.....

Seriously, what is there to say about this week's game? Illinois, while having a few moments above mediocrity this year, is not going to inspire words of wisdom. Having Tress at the helm calms me, because I KNOW he's got The Boys focused on the Illini.

I do have one point to make, and I haven't seen it anywhere yet this week.....

I think it's pretty cool that we are facing off against a former Ohio State Assistant Coach for the second week in a row. Illini Head Coach Ron Zook was a defensive coach here under Head Coach "He Who Shall Not Be Named" in the late 80s.

One last item of interest......

The videos I make. You know which ones I mean. I take the originals, make them high-quality, burn them onto DVD and broadcast them on 4 HUGE SCREENS at the restaurant I work for. I'm the Director Of Marketing, so this is a nice little tie-in to generate excitement. My restaurant is the ONLY place that plays these videos.

Wednesday, the Regional Manager came into town (we're a chain restaurant) and asked to see the videos. I showed him one. He asked me to make several copies of everything I have and get them to every restaurant in his region. They'll be shown before the Michigan game on the 18th (and before, if I can get all the copies made in time).

I had hoped I'd get a little recognition for those, outside of my own blog and YouTube. I guess that's happening now.

Copyright infringement must be the legacy I will leave behind.

Edit - By the way, I'll take Louisville tonight. WVA may feel underappreciated, but how do you think Louisville has felt watching all those ESPN commentators talking about WVA feeling underappreciated?

I hope you get some actual recognition for your work ($). I get that other kind of recognition all the time (the free kind). It's nice, but the money is nicer.

Congrats. Nice work. I'm with Andy. You'll get no money from me, just a very valuable pat on the back.
