So that gives you a little indication here.

But this shirt that I'm wearing has signatures all over it from that team.

And you went to your archives to look up some of the names that were on this 1997-98 Big Ten Championship team and stumbled upon some connections to yourself.

Yeah.

I mean, the first name that pops off the page for me is Sergio McClain, who was a very prominent Illini.

His father, Wayne McClain, ended up being an assistant and Wayne McClain and Sergio McClain.

were almost as famous for going to Illinois as they were famous for being at Peoria Manual.

While you were down in Champaign screwing around and drinking and doing whatever you did, old Marky Mark was on his first job in radio, which was in Peoria, Illinois.

So I had the privilege to cover what was, honest to God, Peoria was the pipeline in those Lon Kruger years.

So I got to cover Sergio McClain and Frankie Williams

Marcus Griffin.

Marcus Griffin at all those great Peoria schools.

We're talking about Sean Livingston, who was a Peoria Central guy.

But yes, Sergio McClain on that particular roster.

You had, let's see, Jerry Hester.

Was a senior that year.

Jared was, I was, I was going back and forth.

Jerry G or Jerry G. It was Jerry G. And then he was, he started his college career as Jerry and he ended it as Jared.

So he kind of had a transformation during that, but had a really good year there.

Brian Johnson was on that team.
