I think I'll wait until college basketball season starts before I start discussing college sports. :D

My wife was born at the Champaign hospital and was raised in a small town called Fisher, about 25 miles from the UI campus. Fisher's school name was the Bunnies!!
I never let her forget that.
Hard to ask this since you live in the closest thing to heaven on earth, but do you miss being in Ill in the fall?
We intentially stayed in Mid MI because it was close to both our families (her folks now live in Grand Rapids and I was raised near MSU) and also so we could be just 15 minutes from Spartan Stadium and the campus we both went to college at. Our future plans when the kids are out of school is to attend the MSU-Hawaii game that is scheduled in '06 or '07 (they also play this year, but we couldn't go - darn kids!). I know Hawaii is going to be great, but nothing compares to being so close to the greatest place on earth in the fall - I'm getting pumped just thinking about it
Basketball season is great too - the Illni are probably going to be the favorites in the Big 10(11) this coming season. You guys have been a thorn in the side of the Spartans the last couple of years - I hate when we have to play you guys on the road :mad:
