I on the Illini - The Illini's Endless Quest for R-E-S-P-E-C-T

If you're an Illini fan (and, if you're reading this, chances are that you are), we don't need to explain further. Few programs have been "cursed" the way Illini basketball has. Who else has the scars that are results of having two significant NCAA tournament rules changed due to their team being crushed by easily correctable circumstances?
Illini Guy Larry Smith author of the article one can find on IlliniGuys.com called "The endless quest for R-E-S-P-E-C-T" talks about the rough road the Illini have been on since the early 80s. This is a tour de force through the rough moments of Illini history and how they are poised to gain respect back after a long journey.
