[QUOTE="ugottabjoshinme, post: 1326711, member: 638186"] I think it would be really easy to introduce some sort of soldier type mascot that honors WWI veterans and ties into the Fighting Illini history and allows the school to keep the Figting Illini name. The problem is that nothing like this was ever done when the Chief was retired. The Chief was gone and the 3 in 1 was continued to be played and at that point it was really being played to remember the Chief, which makes it really hard for the school to move on from him [/QUOTE]
