Easter Began a Little Early...

...for us Illini fans. Saturday night the Orange and Blue, down 15 with 4 minutes to go went on a 17-2 tear to tie the game then won in overtime. I imagine that across the flatlands, from Champaign east to Indianapolis, north to Chicago, and south and west to St. Louis, midwestern smartalecks are replacing the traditional Eastern greeting "Christ is risen -- Christ is risen indeed" with "I-L-L! -- I-N-I!". As well they might. The Illini sure looked dead to me, but this Easter morning they are very much alive.
