And, as far as I know, you can't record the games.

I entered Illinois in the fall of 1964. We had come off an easy Rosebowl win against Washington the previous New Year's Day featuring Butkus and Grabowski and company. The first game I attended was the Homecoming game against Ohio State who was a patsy in those days. We lost 26-0 or...

Early 60s? Butkus and Company? 64 Rose Bowl?

After an hour or two of corralling my disappointment, I must say that I do think this program is vastly improved and that we Illini, conditioned to disappointment, have much to look forward to.

The girl I wanted to take out said "No." More disappointing than the football game, as I recall.

I entered the University in the fall of 1964 and bought season football tickets. Dick Butkus, Jim Grabowski, and company had easily defeated Washington in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day the previous January. We played Ohio State for our Homecoming game because, in those days, Ohio State was a...

My Illini: You are good enough to beat any team in the conference, but you can be beat by any team in the conference. I know you are very young men, and I think you took this one for granted. Don't do that again.

Does Howard forfeit his pay for the five regular season games for which he is suspended? Not that that a forfeiture such as that would make this sanction sufficient, I think he should have been dismissed, but I am curious about the full ramifications of this penalty. It strikes me that the...

I'm disappointed, too; my wife and I were going to attend one of the round 1 NCAA games where we live. But the thought is that people in close contact with many others may contract the virus and that, some of those, who may not recognize their mild symptoms may, unknowingly, pass the virus...

My wife is a corporate travel agent and she has been dealing with flight cancellations all week. Two of her regular clients flew from, I think, St. Louis to Denver on Tuesday on a 737 and there were 16 passengers on board. People are not flying.

Thank you. If you decide to do that, could we get your views on our defensive secondary?

I was at the game and Illinois seemed well-represented fan-wise. Although it is hard to tell when you are looking across the field at the opposing fans, it appeared we at least matched the number of Cal fans who were in the stadium. Has anyone seen any numbers on fan participation? I know...

Yes, I suppose technically a "home" game, but if I recall what the local Illinois alumni representative told me last summer, there is a greater number of Illinois graduates in northern California (or perhaps it was California as a whole) than there is anyplace else outside of the state of...
