Unless dainja is a complete beast AND curbello stays @ illinois, then maybe we can compete in this little tourny.

Prices are too high for a potential 14-18 team, sorry can't commit.

I was reading this thread and turned on the TV and this was first thing I saw. Better buy the tickets.

It’s the 1983 Illini beer. I bought it off someone in Pontiac years ago off the old IlliniBoard

That makes sense.
Oct '83 was just a tremendous month of Illinois football, beating xxxx, tOSU and Sven's team at home.
Full house home games vs top 10 teams and Memorial Stadium was shaking.

The first Big 10 team to win against all conference foes?  If memory serves.
