Urbana nativeSuggested this before and I'll raise it again. HAL 9000 as a #4 type "mascot." Just a red dot and a camera on the scoreboard. The footballl team stops them on 4th and goal, and HAL says, "I'm afraid I can't let you do that."

Nope. I’m actually beginning to enjoy the actual product on the court, and in due time, the field. When your team totally blows, some fuzzy stupid critter may be needed to help kill the time. Im hoping any desire for that falls over time. I hope.Does Illinois really need a mascot?
