[QUOTE="chiefini, post: 1568272, member: 11271"] I, too, am old enough to remember, SKane. Those two games are the main reasons I really hate Notre Dame. The other is because of the “subway Irish.” When my brother was a student at U of I, and I was in high school, I came down with my dad to visit, and we went to both of those games. Parseghian’s Irish just poured it on the Illini to increase their #5 ranking. I loved Illinois anyway and started as a freshman in 1970, having season tickets to football and basketball. I got to see Valek’s last year, and Blackman’s first few, and I have been a diehard Illini ever since. I am dubious about Bielema being a great coach, but after having season football tickets for 35 years, I would be happy for three straight 7-5 seasons. I will be there in Ireland to see the start of the Bielema era... [/QUOTE]
