[QUOTE="1970 John, post: 2080650, member: 589602"] I don't think you and many others understand. Chief Illiniwek is part of Illinois' heritage. He's not a goofball. We've never had a goofball. It's not our personality. The Chief was on the field for two minutes. Yes, you can time it. But those two minutes electrified the stadium. It was a matter of respect, of honor, of something to be proud of. Can you be proud of a goofy mascot? Look at Florida State now. We once had our equivalent. It's want we want. It's what we believe in. [MEDIA=youtube]Tn2BVM_U6Cs[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
