[QUOTE="mattcoldagelli, post: 1325855, member: 11524"] Another unpopular opinion: I'm pretty much fine with all of it (War Chant, 3-in-1) being phased out. The Chief was the connecting thread for all of those, and he's gone. I wonder what a current freshman, who likely had no clue about the Chief, thinks of these. Probably a pretty giant ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And before you ask "Where does it end?"....for me, I want to keep the name Fighting Illini. I know it's arguable whether there's even a factual case to warrant a change, but that's a battle I would just as soon not fight. And if it means stripping away anything that even hints at NA heritage or culture, well, that's unfortunate, but that's also a trade I am super ready to make. [/QUOTE]
