I was on a similar Jet Blue flight during UGA's win of UF, and definitely got some strange looks for repeatedly hitting the ceiling of the plane with my fist. Fortunately, the oxygen mask did not deploy.

1) Kitchen Cooked from Central Illinois (Bushnell, to be precise) are the best.

2) Teddy Greenstein in the Tribune laid out a scenario where the Illini could be BCS-bowl bound which doesn't seem all that unfathomable.

@blastitbiggs: Do they still make New Era chips in Detroit? Those were great, and the had home delivery where you could get them in a 5 gallon steel can.

I'm surprised other people on the flight weren't screaming and shouting while watching the game. I was on a Jet Blue flight when Omarosa got kicked off of season 1 of the Apprentice -- when Trump fired her, basically the entire flight broke into applause and cheers.

Also, Will ... next time fly Southwest. Sure there are no TVs, but they don't give a fuck what you do on those planes. It's the Greyhound of the skies.

True story: In college I worked at an airport and a Southwest flight had to make an emergency landing cause some large lady was giving birth. When the plane landed the flight crew acted like it was no big deal.
Best part?
The following exchange:

Pregnatnt woman being placed in double-wide wheel chair in jetway to paramedic: "Please don't tell my husband he didn't know I was pregnant."

Yep. Nine months pregnant and wasn't showing. She was roomy.

I watched the Illinois game from the Kollege Klub in Madison. I went for the wknd w/ three others for the Wisconsin-Michigan game. None of us have any affiliation whatsoever to UW or UM. We went to super pussified East Coast schools.

All I can say is that we really, really missed out in college.
