Charlie Horse.

My legs are sore. Sore to the point that it looks like my butt is going to explode.

Why?

Because some person, some thing, some mechanical function decided to smoke up the top of the Hilton on a Sunday morning at 2am. Meaning that myself and 40 or more bar patrons (including: Ed, K, Jessie, Jessie’s friend Shannon, Jessie’s cousin Andrew, and Kirsten) had to truck it down 30 flights of stairs. You’d think going down stairs would be much easier than going up??

I beg to differ. In fact, I talked to a veteran of the Hilton stairs Mr. K, “Going down is much harder than going up, because you work different muscles.”

In pain. I plan to sit all day.

    Shoo, you sicken me. Again, no Illini posts. Seriously… You did it for the cards. We couldn’t go a day this summer without - Oooh, the cardinals…. Ooh, look at Poophole and how great a hitter he is…. Ooh, he’s SOOOOO Taguchi, blah, blah, blah… Ooh, ooh.

    The Illini actually have a chance to WIN the national title. Not just go to it and embarrass themselves (as the cardinals did)…

    So how ’bout some mother truckin excitement and support!!!!!!!!!

    Everyone needs to read the front page of the SJR… Bottom right corner. This guy came in 2 weeks ago when I was working at Moho’s and asked if a jacket had been turned in, yada, yada, yada… But he never mentioned that his freakin finger was in one of the pockets. Springfield has some damn freaks running around! And the fact it made the front page of the SJR is way too funny. More stuff needs to go on in this town!

    Yeah, I read that, Folker and I were working that night! I am pretty sure that is the night of that big party in MoHo’s.

    I’ll chime in, Nattie.

    Man, after letting Saturday sink in (it’s not completely all sunk in yet) and watching the last 4 minutes of that game a few times, I will never ever forget Saturday, March 26, 2005. Absolutely insane.

    I have to hand it to the crowd too. Most Illini audiences to date would have given up at the 7-minute mark, but they hung in there and never gave up.

    I tell you, I have never seen a team with as much desire, heart and determination as those boys did that night. It has to be destiny.

    St. Louis HERE WE COME!!

    Shooey, my legs hurt too. I also have a spontaneous black eye. I’m all swollen and puffy for no reason. I think I right-hooked myself in my sleep!

    Well put Holly. I 100% agree. Shoo, you still need to represent.
