Have gotten to be decent friends with a couple in the neighborhood. A few months ago I had an Illini hoodie on and she mentioned when she was in college she dated a guy that went to UI and had made the trip back and forth many times. Didn’t think much of it at the time other than the novelty of it.
We all went out together last weekend after we clobbered Michigan and I was wearing the expensive Illini 1/4 zip I bought back when we were still in our Golden Era, so she asked if I’d been back to Champaign lately. Mentioned I was back that way a couple weeks ago, blah blah blah. Got to talking about sports and stuff and turns out the guy she had dated was none other than Illini golf great Dylan Meyer.
