We're still recovering from the Fighting Illini's come from behind victory over Arizona yesterday in the NCAA men's basketball tournament, and so is Bosco. It was a nervewracking affair. Four minutes to go, Illinois down by 15 points. Major turnaround. Illini win in overtime 90-89! I'm an Illinois alumnus, having spent the late 60s in Champaign-Urbana hanging out on the quad, playing old-fashioned pinball machines at local student hangouts and staying up all night typing English lit papers on a manual typewriter. So I was very excited about my team, rated number one in the nation this year, being in the Elite Eight. Now they're in the Final Four! More nail biting to come next weekend.

Bosco is also an Illini fan, as you can see from his orange head and blue tailfeathers:

We're trying to find him a Fighting Illini lovebird-sized t-shirt, but so far, no dice.
