[QUOTE="Illiniaaron, post: 1560815, member: 29101"] Apparently like several of you here, I've been feeling nostalgic about Illini football past recently and have been watching some video of highlights of the '83 season and some other highlights in that '83-'91 time frame. Watched the video from the comeback win against USC on the road on Labor Day in '89, as well as highlights from the Bluebonnet Bowl (from '88 if I remember correctly) when they lost to Emmit Smith and Florida 14-10. You forget that at one time the Illini had a swarming, hard-hitting defensive identity. Watching Memorial Stadium going bonkers in '83 and that team going 9-0 through the conference kind of brings a tear to the eye of an old sap that watched it happen back then. [/QUOTE]
