Wow... I’ve never been on the opposite rooting interest of RFDC. Now I see why you all think he’s such an asshole.

His Dad worked for UofI from 1973-2003 but UofI couldn't get him. In his defense, I wanted to get away from my parents at that age also. |

Indiana always had those 6'7" white guys who seemed like they were there for six or seven seasons, Kitchel, Wittman, Isenbarger, Risley, etc. I'm pretty sure Ted Kitchel's dad, Steve used to train a few harness horse and would show up at Sportsman's Park once in awhile to drive one. Also, former Illini great Otho Tucker from Paris, Illinois was the world's tallest harness driver. I'm still not sure how he sat in a race bike. |

Four high school state championships. I loved him. He just didn’t have next level talent. |

I thought Robert Archibald was effective in the minutes that he played. I was once named “Athlete of the Week” for my sad local newspaper in high school, and one of the questions they asked me was who was my favorite player. Jordan was old at this point, and I didn’t want to be cliche’, so I said Robert Archibald. I just saw the clipping a few months ago when we were at my parents and I was looking through old scrapbooks. No one besides dedicated Illinois fans would even know who he is now.

The Flyin’ Illini were the shit. I was just slightly too young to remember them. But the first sporting event I remember watching with my dad and brother was the Illini when Nick Anderson and Kendall Gill were there. |

I love the story of Blab coming back to campus to see the team after he was done. He had his hair in a pony tail and an ear ring. Knight completely ignored him and would not talk to him. Told the team in the locker room later that if any of them ever came back to campus looking like that he was going to kick their ass

I wish they'd get back to that, rather than having their occasional good season win them a two-week stay in the Top 25 (usually peaking at # 24). Kleinschmidt should have went to U of I. Or anywhere else. |

I loved those late '70s/ early '80s DePaul teams. That's what got me into college basketball. Tyrone Corbin is one of my all-time favorite players. Aguirre walking back to the hotel after the NCAA loss in his uniform is an amazing story. Kevin Holmes, Marty Embry, Skip Dillard, the disappointment of Dallas Comegys, Bernard Randolph, Terry Cummings, Clyde "The Glide" Bradshaw, Kenny P, loved those teams. |
