the Chief represents tradition, heart, and loyalty to the University. the Chief may be gone...for now...but he is anything but forgotten. you can't walk down Green Street without running into countless Chief Shirts
I dont see how anyone could mistake this as a gimmick a mockery or a joke if you watch it the emotion and passion the Chief puts into it is amazing and if feel sorry for those who cant see its beauty , the honor and respect and what the chief represents for that to be chosen as the icon for what the school represents its a pity some people are so bitter and consumed by their hatred Long lived the chief ps I'm native and Irish so dont pull that I just dont understand crap
I was at this performance with my brother. We are both alumni, and it is our hope that one day Chief Illiniwek will perform at every home game again, a proud symbol of our University.
