My two loves in college football have been the Tide and the Illini. As a national power Bama football has always got my attention. My best moment as a fan was Bama and the Illini meeting up in the Liberty Bowl back in the early 80's, Coach Bryants last as a coach. One of the saddests was his untimely death soon after.

But, anyways I hope things get turned around soon on all fronts. I think the Saban thing is way over blown, just a poor choice analogies. Bama football will get back on a roll and get there place of prominence back in the SEC and nationally. Roll Tide!

What parts are you from? I have a friend who lives in Champaign.

I live in a town called Pana about an 11/2 hour drive from Champaign. My parents retired and live in Champaign. My wife and I lived there in our early years of marriage. Great college town, love going back whenever we can.

Hey I have a friend that lives in Champaign also. He has been to AAA meetings many times to try to stop. We keep hoping he will change one day. It is ruining his life. :lol:

Hey jimmy. I love the Illini.

I was a bowl hostess for the B'ham bowl (All-American Bowl?) when Illinois played Florida. I was in charge of Illinois. I got to know a few of them well and ended up dating the kicker long-distance (no pun intended :wink: ) for several months.

We stayed good friends for a few years, but we haven't talked in years now. Anyway, he took me to campus and I loved it.

I'm glad for your recent success. The Illini have some great fans. You are welcome here always. :)
