[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1690382, member: 590800"] This would be cool, but I say … why elevate Notre Dame in an Illinois-based market, especially when most ND fans in Chicagoland are football only? I’m against helping them generate interest there. Frankly, by elevating us to an “equal” in the Braggin’ Rights Game, Mizzou kind of does us a favor as far as exposure goes. They probably outnumber us in the STL Area 4:1, but this event screams to the world that St. Louis is a split city between Mizzou and our Illini, and I love it … but I’m not as eager to do the same for another school in our other big market. :) (I wouldn’t complain too much if it happened, though … would be another fun annual event, and the UC would be 75% Illini fans anyway.)
