    War Chant has been retired

    There have been ALL KINDS of discussions about retiring/significantly altering the 3 in 1!! Remember the FOIA request back in 2011-2012?? It turned up some REALLY interesting emails from the so-called powers that be.. :chief::chief::chief:

    War Chant has been retired

    I respect that there are varying opinions on this move. I have had enough. DONE. .and just a few short years ago I was buying season football tickets, using one and selling cheap/giving away the rest because I LIVE IN WASHINGTON STATE. Yes, you could say I'm a big Illini fan. A fellow UI...

    Bill Cubit gets 2-year deal as Illinois Head Football Coach

    THIS 100%. Am I thrilled where things are? Of course not, but reality is a !!!!! sometimes. We did NOT have great options here although, yes, that was largely from the administrations' lack of having a clue or giving a f*&% or some combination of those two.
