Word on the street is that there’s an important basketball game Monday night. I wonder if that’s why Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was on the Full House episode Saturday. Holla if you hear me.
My main credit card is a University of Illinois Alumni Association card with a huge orange “I” and Illinois written across it in blue. The Illini Union is in the background. No worries – there's no “Chief” or “Chief” logo.
I get stares all the time in Iowa City when I present this credit card. I often get “wrong school” or “I can’t accept this” or “I’d prefer cash instead.” Sure, it's all in good humor, but I think this game Monday night is a pretty big deal. If Illinois beats North Carolina, I have to get a new credit card for the summer -- there's no way around it. This does not mean, however, I support North Carolina.
I'll support Illinois, contingent upon the Chief being retired at the May Board of Trustees meeting.
1, 2, 3, 4 . . . we don't want your "Chief" no more!
5, 6, 7, 8 . . . racial mascots create hate!
