FLAGGOTRY, 2006 EDITION: THE ILLINI PLANTING
We can’t wait for one team to do this in really inappropriate fashion. We’re imagining something as comical as Wake Forest planting the big, waving WF in the middle of Bobby Bowden field, for example, complete with the grinning, soulless eyes of the Demon Deacon dancing for a full fifteen seconds on the FSU logo before getting trampled by Renegade.
Here’s Illinois version versus Michigan State. Remember, with John L. Smith, the ‘S’ at the fifty stands for SLAP!

December of 2004 was among our finest hours.
And your coach just slapped himself.

Call the decision whatever you want, but it was the right one for ND football and took alot of balls to do it.

All these ND posters talking about how classy our team is need to take a) a look in the mirror and b) a look back at December of 2004, not exactly one of the university’s classiest moments.

Point of order, wouldn’t it make more sense to plant a flag (classless as it might be) in the opposing team’s endzone since nobody cares whether or not you own the 50 yd line, but everyone cares who owns the endzone. Just a question….

Wow, Willy Mac, scat fans aren’t usually so public with their preferences. Be strong!

Lawrence Wright did it a few times while at Florida. I thought about telling him it wasn’t the classiest thing to do, but, if you’ve seen the hit he put on Joey Kent, well, you know why he can do whatever the hell he wants.

Illinois should plant a flag on Minnesota’s field too

You’re gonna hate me for this, but that was priceless. That’s like taking a shit on a girl after asploding in her face without telling her. Of course [NAME REDACTED] put them up to this and I don’t blame him. If I’m Duke, and we beat VT in Blacksburg, you’d better believe we’re gonna at least yank some feathers out of the Hokie Bird’s ass.
