1640485788843425794 | @thecfbnetwork @BeaverFootball @IlliniFootball @BarstoolBeavs @IlliniAthletics @BarstoolILL I grew up in Champaign. I’ve never been to Corvallis. Makes it an easy decision for me…Corvallis by a country mile | 38 |
1640467625678368768 | @thecfbnetwork @BeaverFootball @IlliniFootball @BarstoolBeavs @IlliniAthletics @BarstoolILL Better in what sense? Prettier? Champaign. More fun? Champaign. Better school? Champaign. #Illini | 37 |
1640468861475602433 | @chjulian1 @thecfbnetwork @BeaverFootball @IlliniFootball @BarstoolBeavs @IlliniAthletics @BarstoolILL I went to Illinois. My son goes to Oregon State. Objectively, Corvallis is a much prettier location in the mountains and 50 minutes from the Pacific Ocean. Not even close. | 37 |
1640470096283062272 | @thecfbnetwork @BeaverFootball @IlliniFootball @BarstoolBeavs @IlliniAthletics @BarstoolILL Joking right? Hour from beach, hour from mountains/skiing. Hour from pdx. 1 1/2 hours from Bend golf courses. This has to be a joke. | 33 |
