Spoon Island in Seattle
Kevin Hardy #2 and Simeon Rice #3 in 1996. I was in charge of the Illini Legends Golf Tournament silent auction that year, and I had their two signed jerseys on my coffee table as I watched the draft live on TV. When they went 2-3 I may have had a few adult beverages…When was the last time Illinois had a top 5 pick in the NFL Draft?

Did I miss the Spoon interview? Is he the only pick not interviewed yet?
At any rate, congratulations.
They're in bed with the SEC; what else would we expect.EDPN IS A POS. They don't have us as the Illini nor Illinois. It's 4 IIII. That's who Spoon played for. So happy I quit watching that crap ESPN 8 years ago?
No they did not interview him. One announcer also said “ the picks have been either SEC teams or Ohio State”. WTHDid I miss the Spoon interview? Is he the only pick not interviewed yet?

Where’s the DISLIKE button? They showed him shaking a few people’s hands, but no walking the walkway or putting a hat on. Along with no interview, and little mention of Illinois, ESPN just sucks. Regardless, I’m super happy for Spoon because he’s going to get paid BIG BUCKS.Didn't show him in the green room, barely showed him greeting the commissioner, immediately went to commercial.
