[QUOTE="HoustonIllini, post: 1254615, member: 569110"] I was lucky to start following Illinois football when I moved to Illinois in 1982 after finishing my first 7 years of military service. I was a fan from the minute I stepped on campus as a transfer student, and had the pleasure of watching the beloved :illinois: during the White & Mackovic years, so I thought we ALWAYS had a rich tradition of winning football. Little did I konw . . . Only after I graduated in '85 did I learn of some of the history BMT (Before My Time) and figure out that we actually had a pretty poor winning football tradition. Since then, we've been pretty pathetic :frustrated: I still love :chief: football, and yearn for the :hailtotheorange: to come back and restore winning to our teams. I've earned to be patient with my kids, and I'll continue to be patient with Lovie. [/QUOTE]
