Your fans define class and the experience has changed me as a fan. Thanks to all of you for being so gracious.
Now go out and beat Michigan!

Mendanhall will probably leave early and Illinois will NOT go to a BCS game.

Appreciate you coming on here and saying that. Usually you only hear the bad stuff that happens to folks and them bitching about it. So, glad to hear of your positive experience at The Shoe. Buckeyes fans will always welcome rival fans that come to have a positive experience and enjoy themselves. Good luck to your team for the rest of the season, they are an excellent team (as they proved) and we will be rooting for them in their Bowl Game.

I was at Hineygate after the loss and there was a buckeye fan that gave his #90 scarlet jersey to an Illinois fan. He said, "you just beat the number 1 team in the country, enjoy your night. Hopefully no one will harrass you if you are wearing this". He took his picture with his Illinois hat and buckeyes jersey with all the people around. It was pretty cool.
