Maybe a couple guys can call B&B and see what thay think on this subject. Let's see who the meatballs really are! Illiniwek to dance again By Megan Twohey | Tribune staff reporter November 12, 2008 Chief Illiniwek during a halftime show at a women's basketball game in Champaign. (AP / February 6, 2000) After a banishment of nearly two years, Chief Illiniwek once again is putting on the buckskins, beads and turkey feathers. Since the University of Illinois Board of Trustees banned the 80-year-old mascot from sporting events in February 2007, citing cultural insensitivity, defenders of Chief Illiniwek have been working toward a resurrection. Last spring, a group of former chiefs held tryouts to select a new performer. One dozen students tried out—undergoing nearly eight weeks of training—before the honor was bestowed on then-junior Logan Ponce. But what good was that without the chief's traditional regalia? The university had locked the original in its archives. So a group called Students for Chief Illiniwek paid to have a replica costume made. |
