As a U of Illinois alum, I have to admit that (sadly) it’s not all that common for my Fighting Illini to get to the top tier of sporting events.
But this year they did!
Since they’re seeded #1 in their bracket, I’ve been glued to watching the NCAA March Madness Finals. You have to go back to 2005 before they even made it to the Championship game (they lost to North Carolina).
So I hope you’ll bear with my absence from “Friday Fun” posts for the next couple weeks until my Fighting Illini are crowned NCAA Champs!
