Robert you described me twice in your post:
That student from the early 2000's who saw two home losses in four years?
Me in college. Just told a friend the other day that we were 51-2 at home in my four years. He couldn't believe it.
...the fans at home who tell their wives "I don't know why, but I'm going to watch another Illini game tonight".
Me now.
Thanks for always capturing the emotions of the Illini fanbase. Such a huge, awesome win - glad you enjoyed it from the seats!
