[QUOTE="KrushCow31, post: 1392298, member: 533722"] The "your" guys thing is really important I think. In college, part of the magic was living in Scott Hall and seeing BP3, DJ, and Griffey walking around my floor, eating the same place I do, same bars I go to, etc. Seeing Griffey make that game winning shot against Indiana meant that much more to me cause he was one of us. A student just like us. Not some rented out major league player who is gonna flip to the next best school as soon as a better contract comes up. For me at least the "your" guy thing was the most important part. Hopefully that is what you meant. Would I still get that feeling with a player just just lives in Champaign/Urbana and plays under the Illinois name but for all intents and purposes is not an Illini like I am? Idk. That's the big question. [/QUOTE]
