Penn State-Illinois 2012 Retrospective

THROWBACK VIDEO -- PSU ILL 2012

A lot of great anecdotes from Mauti and Stephon Morris about Illinois' coaches coming to campus to knock on doors and (try) to poach players...and then details on the beatdown PSU gave Illinois two months later. Really fun watch.

Totally forgot about Beckman's sleezeball tactics lol. Wasn't the report, at least from Illinois, that they had coaches in State College but they weren't on campus? The stones it takes to just cold knock on doors with no heads up is unreal.

This was one of my most obnoxious moments as a PSU fan. I was in Chicago for the Ryder Cup and after the day was done, I was out at a couple of bars/restaurants wearing a PSU hat. A couple of Illinois fans said something about the game and I just looked at them and said that I can see why their idiot coach went looking for better players since they didn't happen to have any on their own campus.

Didn't Urban Meyer and Bret Bielema come out and rip Illinois antics?

Didn't Illinois successfully recruit a 4th string lineman from PSU who proceeded to give out the phone numbers of Mauti and others to the visiting coaches?

Damn shame Mauti didn't quite finish off the pick-six. Still an awesome play, though.
