I tried to go on the field but they wouldn't let me (said my press pass wasn't one of those with field access. So I went back up in the stands and recorded this as the Illini fans came down to celebrate with the team near the dugout (yes, dugout). 

What a win. What a season. What an emotion. 

I knew I had to hit record immediately. So I recorded this one (very short) immediately after the final horn. 

I have no idea what just happened but I love it. 

The audio gets better after the first minute. Not much better, but better.

This one is just me taking listener questions as I drive from Birmingham to Piscataway dodging snowflakes. 

Just a workmanlike win. It’s so comforting to watch a game like this. So I started talking about it with two minutes left in the game. 

I don't know why, but I started recording during our final drive attempting to tie the game. And then I just kept recording my thoughts immediately after the game. And then I walked out very sad. 

This one was From The Parking Lot as I was headed out. Went on the road, got thumped, showed we still have a long way to go to compete with the best of the best. Here's my ramblings as I sat in traffic. 

Sorry I'm so late with this. I tried and tried to upload it after the game but it just wouldn't go. 

But here's TWENTY NINE MINUTES of me wandering around on the field after the game. 

I have no idea what to say. As you will hear after these 22 minutes of ramblings. It’s the worst I’ve ever felt about a win and I have no idea how to process that. 

I thought I had an empty end of the pressbox so this From The Stands is From The Pressbox. But near the end, this Penn State media member starts pacing behind me (no idea why) so I get a little... scattered. It's just hard to gather your thoughts when someone is standing directly behind you while you're seated. 

Anyway, here's my thoughts after Penn State beats Illinois 21-7. 

That was rather fun. I wandered around the field afterwards trying to put it all in perspective.
