"One way, or another, I'm gonna find you! I'm gonna git ya git ya one way!" as Blondie told us back in the early 1980s. One Saturday, late in November of 2010, these words applied to a Big Ten college football game. It was more than a Big Ten league game, it was branded the Wrigleyville Classic, and it actually hosted ESPN College Gameday. It was an in-state rivalry game as Northwestern "hosted" their arch-rivals, Illinois, and there was only one end zone in use that day.

Yes, both sides had to drive towards the west end zone.

No one could head towards the east due to safety precautions. How did this happen and why?

Well, we'll tell you in this edition of the "Let's Get Weird, Sports" podcast. You can read the write-up of it all over at Hammer and Rails.com

You can listen to the pod at this link.

Illinois won, in a massive blowout, and Illini RB Mikel LeShoure broke the school record for single game rushing yards with 330.

Here are some links to what we wrote about that Northwestern loss to the Illini that day.

Here are a couple photos, from the exterior, of the venue that day and the week leading in.

Why are we bringing this up now? Well this Saturday, these two teams will face other again at Wrigley Field, playing in this venue against each other for the first time since the infamous one way only "losers walk" game.
