I do as well. There was a discussion on here a while back about previous Illini football coaches. The consensus was that Blackman was not that bad, which I agree with. Our non-Big 10 opponents in those days were usually pretty good teams - not a "directional" school.

Yeah. What happened to the Danish Destroyer?

Arched Illini only, please.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. It was almost sacrilegious. Should not be done.

I remember that as well. Memorial Stadium has come a long way since those days. Fix the horseshoe, lower the field and we'll be very close to what we need to be.

Will the Danish Destroyer ever see the field?

Are we ever going to see the Danish Destroyer aka Magnus Moller?

Give him a chance. He can't be much worse than what we've seen.

If we don't win by 4 touchdowns I'll be disappointed.

But I thought Walters was a genius. The miracle man.

OK - so I'm Old.

I like them. Especially the "ILLINI" on the helmets.

Looking back at it, it was incredible that he was fired. But we expected him to occasionally beat Woody and Bo. We'd hold our own for 3 quarters but always come up short. At least there were no 63-0 blow-outs.

Very sad to hear. I was there, back in the stone age with Bob Blackman and "Perrin Power"
