[QUOTE="Deleted member 645583, post: 1420924"] Depressed but hopeful. I have all this Illini stuff: flags, for instance, three of them. Will I fly them? Yes. Why? First: because flags prevent birds from crashing into my patio sliding-glass doors! Second: because I have been and always will be an Illini fan. Can't help it: I was born in Chicagonois, and the thing to do for Illinoisans is to pledge allegiance to the flagship university. My parents had a thing for Northwestern, only because they were north-siders and loved to dance at Edgewater Beach Hotel near NW. But daddy went to U of I! Furthermore, I always suspected him of being a closet Wolverine (our family came from Michigan and he spent many summers up there). He's gone, and I never got the chance to interrogate him. The point is: if you're able, fly the flag! Win or lose. Once an Illini, always an Illini. What else are we gonna do? Switch to Miznoz? P.S. Lovie: shave! Concentrate on coaching. P.S. 2: the white uniforms looked pretty good. [/QUOTE]
