Illinois State flat-out stalking Pitt now

Illinois State continues their Euro Trip, and for this update we'll first share a few lines of dialog instead of song lyrics:

Jamie: It's a traveler's money belt. Frommer's says if you have one of these, no one can rob you of anything.
Scott: Except your dignity

Now on to the update!

So as it turns out, the Redbirds really are doing the exact, same trip that Pittsburgh did. Not only did they climb the same 287 steps in the St. Vitus Cathedral (some can count, some can't), they also decided to do the same team building ropes course by a mountain.

It's Europe. Couldn't these guys be, you know, learning or something?

Anyhoo, Illinois State's Jess Pratapas tells us that the whole team had to climb a pole, and then she mocks her teammates. Peggy Riessen apparently locked up when she reached the top of the pole, and MC (no relation, remember) Richmond fell off, dangling from her rope.

"I'm not gonna lie," Pratapas said, "that was one of the funniest moments of the day!"

Nothing builds a team like mockery.

Next we got to trz this swing thing; I don't know what the name of it is. Each player got strapped onto this harness which is attached to this long rope. Then M.C. would yell "mush" and the team would pull this rope that pulled the harnessed person back. Then, the one player would pull this string and drop, and swing back and forth. It was the coolest thing ever!

Um...what?

Sorry if my explanation was a little confusing!

Why would you think it was confusing? Seems pretty clear to me: There's strapping and "mush" and pulling and more pulling and a drop and then more swinging. What's not to understand?
