[QUOTE="dbeaverfg, post: 1791002, member: 592026"] I think Illinois (especially central / southern) is and has always been more of a basketball state, thus making a passionate fanbase from earliest ages. Heck, I grew up 90 miles from Champaign and my high school was small enough that we didn't even have a football team. Every nearby school started basketball "practice" (called open gym) the first week of classes. Football was the province of the big schools, basketball was for everyone. [/QUOTE]
