Fighting Illini Salad Days - January 2025
Can we take a moment to reflect on the current state of the University of Illinois Fighting Illini Athletic Programs - specifically...the big two: Football and Hoops. What a week. We beat that baby tyrant Shane Beamer and his "shoulda been in the playoffs" South Carolina Gamecocks in a game where we ran the Barge formation multiple times (love that). Followed by a late night (last night) road win for Men's hoops at #9 Oregon - where the Illini won by 32 points - the largest ever road victory against a Top-10 opponent. When they ask me about the Salad Days...I'll tell them about this week. These are the Salad Days for my Illini.
