My dad passed away days ago. Lifetime Illini fan. I went to the U of I, which pleased him greatly. My brother and I are doing a graveside visit/prayer tomorrow.

I haven't been to SFC since it was Assembly Hall. But I'm flying in today so I can be there tonight.

Two old UI housemates of mine pulled some strings and--i'm elated about this--got tickets for my brother and me, on the court. Mid-court. Next to the TV announcers.

Suffice it to say, we've never had seats like that.

Here's hoping we win, and Wagler hangs 50 on UW. But even if they don't, and he doesn't, I'm grateful for my friends and for Illini basketball and for something wonderful to look forward to.

so sorry for your loss. Prayers to both you & your brother. Enjoy your wonderful seats.
