Fighting actually has nothing to do with Indians. It was added to Illini in 1921 to honor those who fought in World War I.

I did not wear black tonight, I wore my Orange Krush shirt, and it was probably about 60/40 black to orange in the student sections.

I agree that the candlelight vigil is a joke, I really don't know what those kids are thinking.
