Good, but not the best so far.

I've been waiting...
for Illinois, since it seems like they're making fun of the state as much/more than the school. This was a disappointment since we don't have a lot of meth labs up in our neck(s) of the woods, so I'm hoping Northwestern is really good.

Yeah
I mean they could have done a ton with Illinois. First off, Champaign smells like cows. Also, soybeans, soybeans everywhere.
How are they going to make fun of Northwestern? Private school? My guess is OSU has the best fake set.

Yeah. They could've played off the recent protests against NATO in downtown Chicago. Some kind of police uniform, with blue helmets, batons and a bullshit authoritative agenda.

Northwestern has to be last
Given how BHGP views jNW, I'm sure they've got something they've been working on for a while.

I'd say that I enjoyed the Wisconsin gloves more than anything I've seen so far. A chart showing whether you should "go for one" or "go for two" when you are up 3TD+ was a hilarious slam on Bielema.
As for best to come, probably Ohio because they could do so much with all of the allegations they had during their scandal. I'd imagine they would do tattoo sleeves for part of the unis. PSU's scandal can't really be touched, so it will be interesting to see what they do with their traditional/plain uniforms.

Oh, my son. You have much to learn. The Butterfield/Section 1 feuds have been going on for many generations. It all began when Butterfield's ancestors wanted a milk field, but Section 1's ancestors said, "No, you will have butterfield!" This made Butterfield's ancestors very angry. And so they have born the mark of their disgrace for many moons. And so the bad blood runs thick between them.

Best fake???
Illinois should use that design for real. It's much better than any of the bland helmet designs they've been using.

This is a great helmet design
This is a great helmet design for any current or former indian themed mascots.
I can see some mac teams wearing this helmet as a throwback with their respective colors.

This one was pretty dumb. I don't know that IL is particularly known as a hotbed of meth production. Maybe I'm just sheltered up here in Chicago.
If you look at the DEA map of all meth lab incidents, IN, TN, KY, MO, and OK all have WAY more than IL in 2011. Looking at 2010, add AL, MS, AR, and MI (sorry guys) to the list.
Also, if you look at incidents per capita, IL has an incident for every 22,227 residents, while IA has an incident for every 8,059 residents.

Chicago has nearly no meth
Chicago has nearly no meth lab incidents and yet has ~75% of the population of chicago within the metropolitan area. So just making very, very rough estimates that's actually one per 6K in rural illinois. In reality, it's probably similar to Iowa's values.
I'm from a small city in central/western illinois that had a population of 40K. We had a SWAT team who's one job was meth lab seizure.
My dad had a patient who was arrested with >3 million in cash in his house from selling primarily to my high school. The great majority of kids had free/reduced lunch (80-90%) and the median household income was 30k. That's a ton of money from kids without any money.
My 6th grade teacher taught us what ingredients you need for making meth as people used to make it in her backyard.
Outside of chicago, meth is big in illinois.

This was the point of my reply above, the rural areas of the midwest are having lots of issues with meth labs, the big cities not so much.

BHGP Has Done Better...
This one is "meh", in my opinion, although a full-face respirator is an innovative safety enhancement for Division I football regardless, and if someone would like to paint the exterior of my house wearing this, that would be pretty cool, I must admit.

Just throwing this out there,
Just throwing this out there, Ulrich's Bookstore just put all of their Adiddas back stock on sale. Picked up some Climalite polo's for half price.
