Well, let it be known that I am always about supporting the home team and right now, I think the Missouri is doing great to be ranked number one in the country and I actually want to watch their bowl game. But there's just a little too much Black and Gold in St. Louis, in Missouri, in the freakin' news room I work in! I think 50% of the people I work with went to Mizzou and I love them a lot but if I hear "Miz-zou Rah!" on more time I going to paint myself Orange and Blue, plop down at my desk and play the Illinois Fight Song until Christmas! Yeah, that's for you, Conroy!

I love you guys so much but there's a stopping point. I just think if Illinois was in the top spot, we wouldn't be getting THIS much attention in St. Louis. Chicago, probably so, but this is Mizzou country by a slight margin. My complaint isn't the coverage so much as the fact that we have to cover it for another month! That's because of the upcoming bowl game. So I say, thin it out a little bit.

Overkill is overkill, no matter what it is. We did four, yes FOUR Mizzou segments in our Morning Show on FOX 2 Thursday. Oh, by the way, our morning producers all went to Mizzou, but I won't hold that against them

All I'm saying is I love the Illini and I'll support Mizzou, but someone please send me some Illini ORANGE AND BLUE LOVE! I need to hear the drums play and see the Orange Krush! I need Krannert and the Assembly Hall! I'd love some ice cream from the Illini Union and listen to the bell toll at noon on the Quad. I'd love to see Jordan's son running up and down the court in those shorts, yes!

I wish I could have some Gumby's pizza.

I've give anything to just sit in Foellinger Auditorium for just one more lecture.

How about an Italian soda and croissants and Busey's Coffee House with Grandma and Grandpa Miller?

Timisha, don't you want to go Wal-Mart and rearrange their merchandise like we used to do in undergrad when we got bored?

Laura, let's have a midnight snack at the Steak n Shake on Neil Street. Oh, I forgot, you'll be in Grainger studying all night.

Brad, come pick me up so I can do laundry for free in what used to be known as Melrose. Aww, I can hear the Black Chorus singing.

Hey, does anybody want to go dancing at Kams, Home of the Drinking Illini??

ANYTHING to save this Illni's orange and blue heart. I'll take whatever you've got. Just save me from the Miz-zou Rah Mania!

HELP! I'm an Illini Stuck in Mizzou Country!
