It’s cool to wake up and find you got an email from the Fighting Illini men’s basketball head coach:

The team and I want to thank you for your fantastic support. Your enthusiasm has energized everyone connected with our program.

We’re going to go all out for you as this memorable season draws to a close and hope you continue to cheer us on through our remaining games.

The players and I are committed to representing our campus and our community with honor and pride. We know you are, too.

We ask your help in ensuring that whatever celebrations may take place at the end of the season be safe and enjoyable for everyone.

We’re in the national spotlight now, and this is a rare opportunity for all of us to show what an extraordinary campus and community we share.

Thank you,
Head Coach Bruce Weber
and the members of your Fighting Illini basketball team

In other words, don’t burn down campus.

    Gee…that sounds exactly like the wave file we found on FI.com and then later appeared on 1400 WDWS and now via email.

    Somebody on this campus is concerned about our image… :)
