Such sad news. RIP, Rob, and condolences to AJ and the family.
It's been mentioned already, but I think it's worth repeating. Both Rob and AJ embody the core ideals of what I think most of us want Illini Nation to stand for. The passion, work ethic, and sense of community that AJ displays is a testament to Rob and the rest of the Jordan family. That, combined with a healthy dose of realism/pragmatism was always welcome. We, as Illini, are lucky to have the family involved in our program, and we, as IllinoisLoyalty, were fortunate that Rob was willing to give us a glimpse into those ideals in action.
We'll miss you, Rob. Feel free to share insider stories of wherever you are any time! We'd love to hear from ya...even if it is an off topic thread!
