Default Re: Official Illinois has more wins than Michigan and ND combined thre

Awesome thread.

While I did not go to Illinois, I have a warm spot in my heart for the school, as my grandfather and great uncle both played football there (I even used to drive my grandfather's former car, which had an Illinois alumni sticker on it).

I would need to do some research to confirm it, but there is a chance my great uncle was on the OL that blocked for Red Grange. I am not at all positive about that, though. My mom or aunt told me he played OL, and I think that I remember his age would have made him overlap with Grange for at least a year.
