Um... yes. I do live around a mile from campus. My wife goes there, I went there. My brother and Dad graduated from there. In fact my brother used to be in charge of the Izzone.

Minnesota State University, I would think.

Football?

MSU = Michigan State University. Tomorrow night, MSU's amateur basketball squad will compete against the University of Illinois in front of 16,600 fans with tight orange sweaters to battle for first place in the Big Ten Conference. The contest will be beamed to millions of households on ESPN.

As I'm an Illinois alum Chris, care for a friendly wager?

Amateur? Saturday we broke a big ten record for field-goal percentage. Though technically they're all amateurs, this isn't UofM where players get paid.

We have been playing exceptionally well lately. Everyone on the team, there are no stars. People come off the bench to score double digits, sometimes even 20.

The lack of a home court advantage is the only thing I'd worry about.

What kind of wager?

I'm betting $10 if I bet on the game I pick the losing team.

What kind of wager? The loser puts the line of text "Go Illini!" or "Go Spartans!" at the bottom of their signature for a week.

I like this betting thing...

I'm betting Chris has 20 sites in the thing that currently says 13 by 2005. Anyone going to bet against me? Whoever loses puts 'I am a sprout-eating web developer' in their sig for a month... Chris can't bet on this one.

No. I'm not a member of the Izzone. I'm not longer a student there.

Illinois beat someone tonight. Not sure who, but they sure weren't playing like any Spartans I know.

Wow! I was quite surprised at the outcome, it turned into one of those dream games for Illinois. Like the announcers said, MSU will still do a lot of damage here on out. Hope the Illini can keep up this level of play!
