[QUOTE="reopseed60, post: 1473569, member: 746303"] A thought about a name. " Illini Golden plain" this would relate to our flat land state and the "golden" would relate to the corn grown on it> Add gold to the orange and blue colors. I can't think of anything more bland that would offend the NCAA and those 30 facility members who are collecting salaries from the U. while signing petitions about what is "politically correct" or not about the Chief unless they find the consumption of corn an issue. I was at the stadium in the 80's when the Chief of the Ogalla Souix tribe presented Chief Illiniwek with the headdress his tribe had made.......Did not seem Politically incorrect then !!!!! Anyway, just a thought from REOSPEED class of 1960 and family graduates Classes 84 and 88 [/QUOTE]
