[QUOTE="The Galloping Ghost, post: 1326482, member: 5587"] I'm happy he wrote the letter and I agree with it. It makes me sad people are losing their minds over some drums. I understand the slippery slope argument, but my experience at U of I was a heck of a lot more than what the band plays or a guy in a costume. It's cheesy, but my love for my school comes from the classes I took, classmates I met, and alums I continue to meet. I took a big risk coming to U of I. I was from the east coast and had never been to the Midwest till I stepped foot on campus, but everybody immediately made me feel at home and the school just felt right. Trust me, I also care deeply about Fighting Illini sports. Our winning or losing can make or break my day and often my week. Ultimately though, my love for my school will always be defined by my experience as a whole and our athletic program, and what song is played on 3rd down, are only a small part of that. [/QUOTE]
