[QUOTE="RedRocksIllini, post: 1517533, member: 560974"] Cool. I grew up about 2 hours due north of Peoria in northwest Illinois. In that area, P-town is where Bret Bielema is from. Fun fact about my hometown which might not be much fun nor a fact, I don't really know. Anyway, according to the Wiki page for the very first Illini men's basketball team (1905-06), the team player-captain for the first couple games was from Morrison meaning that the first Illini basketball coach was from my hometown. Never heard this story growing up and, other than this Wiki page, have no idea whether it's really true. [/QUOTE]
