So the big talk of the day is how Illinois lost to Ohio State. Illinois used to be 29 and 0, now they are 29 and 1. I was at work when all this happened; I got to break the news to eveybody. There was an older blond woman standing there when I said it, she looked flabergasted and exclaimed "Illinois?! The BASKETBALL TEAM?!" "yes", I replied, and quickly walked away. The boy I have a crush on walked in, he looked a little somber, he said "illinois lost." I said, "I know, I don't really care." His response was "Yeah, I think it's funny." To which I smiled. And then he stapled a staple into his thumb, and we both laughed at that. They just got cocky a little bit, those basketball players. There's a lot of big heads in Champaign-Urbana. There is a huge Illini groupie following thing. They stand in the audience and jump in the air everytime the opposing team has ball possession. It looks pretty coool, and it'a a pretty good little workout. At Illini hockey games they sing a little song called "you suck". Such great sportsmanship, and they have a politically incorrect mascot, he is Chief Illiniwek. Oops, I didn't mean to capitalize it. There is a HUGE controversy about it, of course. I've made up my mind to be indifferent.
