[QUOTE="FollowTisdale, post: 1326722, member: 619279"] Is that really so bad though? If 3 years from now I'm cheering on the University of Illinois Bobcats while they defeat USC in the Rose bowl or downing Kentucky in the National Championship, is that really hindering my experience of those events? Do you really think Syracuse fans in 2003 were thinking "yea that national championship was nice, but it would have been so much better if we were still the [I]Saltine Warriors[/I]." Winning creates memories and traditions. All I want for the University of Illinois is 1) For the sports teams to win and 2) The academics to stay strong so my degree continues to have merit. Sure, I'd love for the Chief to still be dancing, and I will continue to say that the Chief logo is the greatest logo in the history of sports until the day I die, but that stuff all comes in a distant 3rd to those 2 things.
