[QUOTE="mossimo142, post: 1326098, member: 14428"] Look at the number of replies and posts this garnered versus the game thread. To me it's telling how this is only a negative. Like I said before it may not be effective as a third-down crowd-pleaser, but it was something uniquely Illini. Every time the Big Ten Network or ESPN showed Illinois highlight clips of the crowd in their montages it was always generally the clapping to war chant. I'm personally disappointed it is going away and to be honest it dampens the excitement for the home opener. Is that silly? Probably, but it was tradition. Like another poster mentioned, what makes Illinois distinct now/gives us our own identity? [/QUOTE]
