Weber phone spoof a big hit

"The response has been incredible," UI associate athletic director Shawn Wax said. "When we first made it available, we started getting e-mails, voicemails, text-messages from people saying 'This is great.' "

Wax said the school began working on "Coach Weber Has An Announcement" about four months ago. The release was timed with the announcement that Illinois would play Western Kentucky in the NCAA tournament.
