Hey, BigWill -

Here's a belated congrats on yet another Bruins' conquest of my beloved (but futile) Fighting Illini a little over a week ago here in Champaign. I'm real tired of losing to UCLA (45-9 in the '84 Rose Bowl – yikes!, 6-3 in the '91 Sun Bowl – zzzzzz!, 6-3 last year - ugh!, and now 35-17), but I have to admit that seeing your team, the UCLA pep band, and several hundred baby blue-clad fans in Memorial Stadium was very cool indeed. I think UCLA's unis are some of the best in college football.


Maurice Drew is one awesome back! Very impressive!!!

Now, the jury is out on your win from the Illini being a "quality" win or not. You see, Illini football kinda sucks really bad right now (it hurts to admit this, but it's reality).

Again, congrats on the win, BigWill! This Illini fan will be rooting for the Bruins to have a great season.
