Public service announcement to all Illini fans: do yourself a favor and support some of the other athletic teams besides men’s football and basketball. We just watched women’s volleyball whip Long Beach State tonight and it was a good time. We’ve also had a lot of fun at baseball and softball games. Tennis, gymnastics, and wrestling have had some great teams as well.

And another bonus, the admission is usually much cheaper or free, and the teams can be much better than what you see in football or basketball.
