Perfect no more; Ohio St. Buckeyes fall (One day after Ohio Gov. endorses Hillary)
The Concord Monitor ^ | 11/11/07

Top-ranked Ohio State's national title hopes teetered on a timeout, the ball inches from a first down for Illinois.

Illini coach Ron Zook changed his mind, decided to go for it on fourth down and that was the beginning of the end for the Buckeyes' hopes of redeeming themselves in this season's national championship game.

It was the first time Illinois (8-3, 5-2 Big Ten) had beaten a No. 1 since 1956, and the first time it had done it away from home. The defeat also ended a conference and school streak of 20 Big Ten wins in a row by Ohio State (10-1, 6-1).

Hillary took the win away from them for their own good.

Bobby Jindal elected Gov. of Louisiana, Hillary curses OHIO. Is it any wonder LSU will move up to number 1 in College Football rankings?

I hope the she-devil stays away from our Demwit governess Kathy Sebelius (Kansas). KU is still undefeated, and that would be the death-knell for their chances.

It makes perfect since for Hillary to curse the Buckeyes. The Yankees top minor league team is in Columbus so it makes perfect since. Lucky for us the curse did not apply in 2002.
