It usually stems from the head coach, but I'm not sure. Marists' bitter Southside rival, the Crusaders of Brother Rice, have always been very supportive of Illini football.Gotcha. Is there a reason behind this?
As was stated, it's usually the head coach, but also (I grew up in the area and went to Brother Rice for a year), the south side is full of Notre Dame fans and other Big Ten schools, it's really odd IMO. I'm in Frankfort now (Lincoln-Way East), and there are some Illini fans, but not nearly as many as one would expect.Gotcha. Is there a reason behind this?
You haven't heard UIUC dubbed "Lincoln-Way South"? My son and daughter graduated from LWE and both had dozens of classmates there with them when they started in Champaign.As was stated, it's usually the head coach, but also (I grew up in the area and went to Brother Rice for a year), the south side is full of Notre Dame fans and other Big Ten schools, it's really odd IMO.

The one in end zone that bounced off his shoulder pad was the worst. Maybe he needs contact lenses.Malik’s dropped a lot of balls man.

I cannot speak to the south side, specifically, but how many Illini fans should we expect?? The Chicago Area is fundamentally a different beast to Milwaukee for Wisconsin or Cleveland for Ohio State or even Detroit for Michigan/MSU. There will always be too large of a population and too many transplants for the Illini to dominate the market like we could a smaller, less nationally relevant city. That's just the way it is, for better and for worse! Our instate support in Central Illinois is just as good overall as any other Big Ten school's in their state (with the possible exceptions of truly psychotic instate loyalty for Nebraska and Iowa), and I think our support in Downstate Illinois as a whole is quite good. Our support in Chicagoland has a relatively high floor, but it really explodes when we are good, from my experience. Sucks to admit it, but we have a lot of fair weather Illini fans in Chicago, which is unfortunate most of the time but also gives our program a high ceiling as far as TV ratings and fan following if we get things going (e.g., Chicago responding super well to the Rose Bowl season).As was stated, it's usually the head coach, but also (I grew up in the area and went to Brother Rice for a year), the south side is full of Notre Dame fans and other Big Ten schools, it's really odd IMO.

That's the old Jack Tatum joke.Stickum baby! When I played in Europe (many, many, many moons ago), I had it from my fingertips to my elbows. I "caught" a pass once that hit the back of my hand and stuck
At any position?I would be shocked if Swanson ever plays meaningful snaps

I was thinking more in the football world, where we did get Nick A, but we missed on Henning, the O'Rourke kids, and others. Then again, I'm not sure how hard we recruited them all.
They probably have Colgate and Oral Roberts on the schedule for sure.
Cancel the Missouri series and get the dental kids on the schedule. That is what America wants to see.
Ok, I’ll bite. Those series got long in the tooth and weren’t relevant. Don’t floss over those facts and gum up the future schedule.

This is why the internet exists.

At least we played an actual school, lol. As did MSU.
