Isn’t it about time for Bret to start hyping Luke for Heisman?

Why do I ask? No reason.

Two great guys. Altmeyer is fast becoming my all time favorite Illini.

And, I'm still hoping he runs into my daughter who is a junior at Illinois this year.

Has anyone posted Barnhart’s call of the FG?

Your second sentence is gold. I had a good laugh.
I suppose I would want my daughter (I have three sons), to run into Luke as well. My granddaughter is in kindergarten...
