Press box misery is an extremely effective deterrent. I still ended up getting into the business, but with a few trusted friends sworn to tell me if I ever start to sound like ol' so-and-so complaining about the free flight/food/entry to the game.
Wow - fabulous story Will. And I'm glad you enjoyed that Illini comeback! I was in the west balcony, with my wife and buddies - we're all Marching Illini alums, right above where Ty Douthard picked his way to the endzone! We were going nuts!!!
That was quite the awakening for you as a freshman. I'm glad you figured out how to keep sports in your life. It took me a while to figure out that sports are just a distraction. A way for us to spend our down time.
I thinks we all miss the teams from when we were at UI. Mike White got there the same year I did. I got to see it all up and close in the Marching Illini. Great times! Huge part of why I'm still a season ticket holder all these years later.
Never heard of the Screaming Females. Great song! Ill definitely check em out.
I recently starting listening to Amyl and the Sniffers, from Australia. Familiar? This girl is awesome, just a little bundle of energy. Especially live.

One must stay on constant vigilance!

Keep up the great work, and Go Illini!!
Thanks! I miss those early '90s teams, back before the wheels came off for Tepper ...
What a beautiful story!
