MIRK IS BACK! LET'S GO!!!

What I'm really anchored on here is his use of that heinous 1LL1NO1S font.

Announcing all of the donations from the streams go to the managers…wow

 

[Chuck Nuggets]

Mirk is a damned legend.

What a good kid.

 

[IlliniSaluki]

He says on future streams donations he gets will go to the bball team managers.

A whole heck of a lot more enjoyable than Cliffmas lol.

I’m not going to lie; the thought did enter into my head. I was staring to wonder how this live troll job was going to compare to the hat.

We were never gonna let mirk get away, and he never wanted to leave. Best personality the Illini have had in my 32 years, and it’s not even close imo. He’s the goat. 2026-27 will be a special year for us. Illini basketball is all the way back.

This guy is so likable! Donating all funds from future streams going to be given to the managers!
