I don't know if this is a positive season opening omen, but last night i had an overnight in Boise, ID and our hotel van from the airport pulled up behind an SUV that had Idaho plates... "ILL1NI"! I asked the van driver to honk at them lol.
One of my flight attendants said "that doesn't say 'Illini'...that's the number 1 not an I". I said "It's an "I" and it's a "1". The "I" is "1" and the "1" is "I".
I'm so profound!
Go ILL1NI!
