It's kind of nice having a busier discussion in the "illini in the NBA thread" though!

Which one's Pink? Literally a tribute band with this name.

Username checks out.

My dude! He was so fun!

I was 8 years old during the illini Rose bowl season of 83 / 84. Just starting to appreciate football. I would heave a nerf football as high as I could, run and then time it so I could dive and catch it and land in the snow. Always pretended I was David Williams!

And I hope Fletch is working with Tomi and David on explosive movement. Side to side and vertically. There are plenty skilled, and strong. It looked like he was doing some kind of squat thrust along with Keaton in the post earlier in this thread, so it would be nice if each of these guys came...
