[QUOTE="JFGsCoffeeMug, post: 1570736, member: 74571"] "Illinois guys" A term used to describe essentially anyone who suits up for the O&B. Most frequently used in the context of recruiting misses. A recruiting miss is by definition not an "Illinois guy" (we want players who want to play at Illinois). Once assigned, the title can be revoked in the case of a transfer. E.g., Mark Smith was not an "Illinois guy" after defecting to Mizzou. See related: no true Scotsman. [/QUOTE]
