[QUOTE="Illinoise, post: 1954323, member: 3844"] The kingfisher is pretty cool. The students there now and in the future deserve to have something to identify with and create their own lasting memories just like so many did with Chief. Is the Kingfisher goofy and hokey. Maybe. How about Brutus the Buckeye? Goofy and hokey? In spades! Try telling that to an OSU alum. New traditions take time and won’t be welcomed by all but if your lasting connection to the University is through the Chief or the name Fighting Illini then I say your connection wasn’t really to the University.
