Somebody’s sitting in my usual seat tonight. The booth I usually sit at has a picture above it of Bob Richards. He’s a University of Illinois alumni and a former athlete.
My question for you is what was his unusual nickname and what was his sport? They go hand in hand.
No fair searching the web.
The college summer leagues are winding down and many (most?) of the Illini are involved in the playoff picture. The fightingillini.com website has all the details. I won’t bother repeating what’s already there. However, since they didn’t bother linking the team’s or league’s web sites, I took the time to look them up and link them on this post.
Good luck, Illini and look forward to seeing you at the Alumni Game this fall!!
The Leapin’ Deacon?
The Pole-Vaultin’ Preacher?
Or something like that…
