I was a freshman at Illinois and went to this game with my dad. It was an incredible atmosphere in the United Center that afternoon, one I'll never forget!
It’s amazing how people slag Scottish people to their face about the accent. Their accent sounds just bizarre to us yet we don’t have to act like pricks.
It was a great tradition that really brought everyone together at Illinois when I was there in the early 90's. He was a symbol of pride, courage and hope.
Revenge is underrated. Shame it was that box office flop hiccup for Costner in his prime since it's one of his better movies. Better than the awful Bodyguard.
I think Sheena's current accent sounds more like that of Angus MacRory, who was Bugs Bunny's nemesis in "My Bunny Lies Over the Sea." You know, "There are no La Brea Tar Pits in Scotland!"
This was Illini basketball. I grew up watching this team as Doug Altenburger was my favorite. Rick Zurak was the local sports guy here on tv as well. This is Gold. Love this!!!
My dad worked at Convair during completion and delivery of the last B-36, "The City of Fort Worth", which now sits in the Pima Air and Space Museum, and the first flight of the YB-60, which was the plane he'd been hired to help build. Boeing used engineering data that the Convair engineers rejected, resulting in a thicker, stiffer wing on the YB-60. It meant that the wing flutter that developed at high speed, when the flow delaminated over the control surfaces, could not be engineered out, and would have caused premature fatigue in critical areas. The YB-60 was NEVER a viable design. Graft and politics had chosen the B-36 over the superior design of the B-49, but that stiff wing on the 60 was too dangerous for any amount of bribery to overcome.
