As an English major, it took about two days into my freshman year before I was acquainted with the legend of the English Building at U of I. It was haunted.
Built in 1905, the English Building was a women’s dormitory, and on the top level, there was a pool. A girl drowned in that pool one night, either on accident or by taking her own life...
For 83 years, University of Illinois and Ohio State have had a little tradition going on, known as the Illibuck. The Illibuck, named for a combination of the words Illini and Buckeyes, the mascots of the schools, is a competition held each fall.
The bet: which school will win the football game.
The prize: a turtle, the Illibuck.
Why a tu...
You go into the healthcare center for strep throat and come back with Vicodan. You have to get an X-ray after falling down the stairs and get told you didn’t break anything, only to get a call the next day that the X-rays were mixed up and you’ve been walking around on a broken leg. You go in with a headache and come back with antibiotics. Yo...

Is there a better reason to celebrate... especially when you can dress up like a stuffy presidential candidate and still get laid?! So get your Palin glasses and take some notes, cause we've come up with the ultimate guide to your weekend festivities.
Now you might ...
Walter Meego isn’t simply a dorky man's name. Walter Meego is a musical duo comprised of Justin Sconza and Colin Yarck with more electro-pathic, space-age, 80’s-cum-future, Lite Brite-like, dance-rocking synth-pop up their sleeves than can easily be contained in a given music venue. A few years ago, the two were a couple of University of Illinoi...
Is this really becoming a trend? Yet another Illinois bartender was arrested after serving up drinks in the nude. Just last month, a woman working at The Cabin Inc. in Delhi was charged with public indecency after some in-the-buff bartending. Now Jamie Day is following in her footsteps.
The 24-year-old Day works as a bartender at the Pub Room ...
One of the biggest obstacles facing Obama’s political campaign has little to do with his tax plan or foreign policy. What plagues Obama is a persistent rumor that he is a Muslim and lying about it. Ever heard it?
This falsehood has followed Obama since 2004 when it was found in a press release and spawned a cyber phenomenon. While everyone has...
This weekend's college football headlines from Bleacher Report.
There are a lot of teams looking good and acting tough so far this season, but it’s often hard to tell who’s the real deal. The contender vs. pretender breakdown should quiet a lot of overeager fans.
Notre Dame beat Stanford this weekend which made Chris Marinelli eat his words,...
Treasury Assistant Neel Kashkari is the chosen one— chosen for the loaded job of overseeing the bailout plan. There’s been quite a bit of finger pointing over the past couple of weeks: at President George W. Bush, at greedy corporations, at slick Wall Streeters, at U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson, at legislators who allowed for deregula...
On September 12, 2008, we lost a great American writer, David Foster Wallace. A professor at Pomona College who once taught at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and attended Cornell University, Wallace wrote short stories and novels, the most famous of which being Infinite Jest.
Whereas ordinary authors resorted to ...
Many colleges have been embroiled in controversy over the alleged offensiveness of their mascots. Just last year, University of Illinois’ Chief Illiniwek performed his last mascoting duties due to opposition by Native American activist groups.
Now a new controversy is cropping up. A Christian group wants Duke’s Blue Devils name gone because th...
It’s difficult to believe, but even a guy so desperate and histrionic as to appear on I Love New York 2 (which is even less redeemable than the first season of I Love New York) can find love, or at least a fiancée. David Otunga, who appeared on the VH1 Celebreality show under the moniker “Punk,” gave his girlfriend of less than one year, Jennife...
Seems John Edwards has flip-flopped on the issue of public appearances post-scandalous affair.
Last we heard, Edwards wasn’t exactly shying away from the spotlight. In fact he was trying to hog it! The cheating scoundrel had added to his public speaking and even upped his price. But now it seems Edwards is singing a different tune – a tune of ...
You would think admitting to an embarrassing affair would cause someone to shy away from the spotlight. But not John Edwards. No, he’s embracing his new shamed status and milking it for all it’s worth.
The former presidential candidate is scheduled to speak at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign on Oct. 14. The Illini Student Union ...

So the rumored deal between Comcast and the Big Ten Network was finalized Thursday and I'll be honest, I really couldn't care less. Don't get me wrong, I love Penn State, but aside from the one or two games against crappy teams, I will never watch the channel. Really, look at Thursday night's schedule, you watching any of this? Oh well, at least...
Our overlords at Comcast have reportedly agreed to add the network to the cable system in the eight states where Big Ten schools exist. So get ready for that big Murray State vs Indiana contest, it's gonna be a barn burner.
According to various reports, Comcast and the Big Ten Network are very close to signing a deal that will put the channel ...
