Graham looks like he should be eating babies, not signing them

When I first saw the thread title, I thought maybe Pocic had recruited an infant to play for Illinois.

FYI, ilphotog, the dad holding the baby is from your old stomping grounds, Carrollton.

this was yesterday? Beckman (and the guy holding the baby) wearing long sleeve wind breakers? Did our team get flown up to northern Canada for the day?
