I-L-L

It's been a long time since the Illini had anything this big to be happy about on the football field.

I loved Richard Roeper's comment today in his column.

"Sometimes sports-TV directors overdo it with crowd-reaction shots, but I loved ABC-TV's closeups of those stunned Ohio State fans during the Illini's awesome upset of the No. 1-ranked Buckeyes.

When your face and/or torso are painted red and you have Buckeye Leaf stickers on your shaved head and your team is undefeated and powering its way to another victory, party on.

But when you're in the costume and the face-paint and the fright wig, and the national championship dream is dying before your very eyes, you just look like Yucko the Clown on a bad day."
