I was able to be on the field for the Illinois vs. #1 Ohio State football game on November 7th, 2007 in Columbus, Ohio. This Picture is the Illini cheerleaders with Ohio Stadium in the background.
I'm not sure why, but for some reason the color faded a lot when I uploaded this.

"I know 'shock the world' is overused," Illini linebacker J Leman said. "It is pretty shocking to most people, but not to the guys in the locker room."
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 record streak of 20 Big Ten wins in a row by Ohio State (10-1, 6-1).
"This is a game I'll remember for the rest of my life," Ohio State offensive tackle Kirk Barton said. "This is disappointing."
' 28-21 victory over No. 1 Ohio State was big for the following reasons:
• Ended Ohio State's Big Ten-record 20-game winning streak.
• Ended Ohio State's school-record 28-game regular season win streak.
• Illinois' first win vs. a No. 1 team since 1956.
• Illinois' first-ever win vs. a No. 1 team on road.
• Illinois is first team to rush for over 200 yards vs. Ohio State since 2001.
