And I think we all have to admit that in 2007, it was pure genius to realize that the Illinois game did not have to be won in order to go to the National Championship game. The game could be thrown in order to ensure there would be no let down against TSUN.
Illinois was kind of like a dramatic queen sacrifice in chess, leaving chess fans gasping, but forcing an inevitable checkmate.
