Thanks for that memory…so unfortunately the Illini are 1-3 against Miznoz in the last 4 years (the Trent Frazier era). I thought I’d be cute/a jerk and look up the Dee Brown era…yep, 4-0.

Just sayin’

I recall Weber noting that after one of the day-before practices (or maybe, insanely, it was after the game itself... can't recall) for the '03 or '04 Illini victories over Miznoz, Dee stayed afterwards and goaded his teammates into running suicides, just, you know, competitively for the heck of it. I remember reading that and thinking "Yeah, this is a special team and a generational player."

The Illini need to show those ridge runnin', holler dwellin', moonshine swillin', possum huntin', mullet sportin', toothless, slack jawed, beady eyed, Mizzou fans and their inept team that the Orange and Blue own the Braggin' Rights. No excuses.
