[QUOTE="OrangeNBrood_Redux, post: 1986609, member: 748881"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="819E0A97-DF7B-4BFB-AFE2-C8E729BA4584.png"]29850[/ATTACH] Years ago, facing a true moment of uncertainty for one of my first major professional projects as a young adult and looking disaster pure in his eyes, my mother said to me: every hero has his or her moment of darkness. As wildly unexpected and dream threatening as this scenario with TSJ is, it is also, in absolute terms, an opportunity for all of us - the team, Illini Nation - to grow our resilience and dignity in the face of adversity. Because, in the end, it can be said that [I]this is what life ultimately is.[/I] Perhaps we will one day tell of this season with nostalgia in our eyes and with heart in our aged voices; tell the story about this tribe of the orange cloth, who, in our moment of adversity, demonstrated a newfound strength, a freshly formed dignity. In many respects and by many definitions: this program and its larger family of supporters will be better than okay. [/QUOTE]
