Watching Final Drive. Did Bielema Just say "Illini UP" at the end of his interview???

Yeah, kind of getting old everyone doing it, but technically we stole it from Wyoming.
Didn't Tiller bring it with him? I see that less as a steal and more as re-gifting.

And his gift was better than the original, IMO. RIP, Mr. Joe Tiller.
So they better be careful about winning too many games. Fighting Illini has to be offensive to somebody. For reference see Cleveland Indians, Washington Redskins, etc.
Beat me by a moment.

It was actually Arnette who suggested, and pushed, for it.
Maybe why IU changed their name to Indinia?
Edit: On second thought, maybe they just can't spell.

I mean, I’m really not. But I think singling out “Illini” as this uniquely terrible team name - when the other team from your state is literally called the “Hoosiers”… - is just weird and seems like a hater comment. Which is odd, because there’s probably less bad blood between Illinois and Purdue fans than any other two schools in the league.
What is this "other team from 'your' state"? Iniana can hardly be considered a team.
It originates from the saying "Who's there?" with your best southern Indinia accent. I really wish I was kidding.
IL and Purdue have two of the most respected state educational programs in the country. Any bad blood is totally made up with the exception of men's basketball. For football, both programs have had flashes of success with many years of shared misery.
