Just watched a great game on BTN from 10/23/99: Illini beat Michigan and Tom Brady 35-29. Kittner, my favorite Illini QB, outplayed Brady. Why didn't Kurt make it in the NFL? Decent arm, mobility, etc.
Sad note: I delivered news of this great victory to my dad (Illinois attendee) who was in the hospital ; he died 11 days later. No connection, I don't think, although with his parents, my grandparents, being Michigan natives, I always suspected daddy was a closet Wolverine.
