I spent the first 16 yrs of my life in Northern Illinois shoveling snow. Lots of corn and
lots of cold weather and snow in Jan & Feb. I bet he'll love it.
Actually high school basketball in Illinois is very big. Great rivalries and hard fought
games.

I know it's a different state, and a different sport, but for some reason it reminded me of this hilarious video:

I got hammered in Champaign once. The hangover in the cold (February) was among the darkest moments of my life.

Urbana-Champaign is one of the most boring places that I've visited. UIUC built their library underground so it wouldn't shade a cornfield - that says it all.

Here's a select few:
Go watch a HS Basketball game
Go to the Men's Gymnastics meet
There is an IMAX a few towns over if you want to see a movie on a big screen
Go eat a burger at Farrens - the best buger in Illinois (I was told to go there once by an Illini friend - and it didn't even register on top 100 Dallas burgers)

The Old 97's don't think much of Champaign either:

Really nice place full of nice people. Just, a slower way of life.

I guess Froling is wrapping up his Arizona visit tonight with the Zona/Washington game. Let's hope he leaves the desert uncommitted. Go Huskies!

Thats a good game. Hope he stays that way too. We need him. Think how many times against ECU Tolbert or MK had loose defense on the hig post/3pt line. He can fill it up and will force defenses to gaurd that

I grew up in Chicago, C-U was colder. Remember the Tom Cruise movie "Risky Business"? "Well University of Illinois, here I come". UI was our fallback school, thank God for SAT's!

Well, Arizona ran Washington outta the gym in the 2nd half. Ended up winning by 30.
