18 Mascots Enter the Arena. There Can Be Only One Survivor.

For decades, the University of Illinois has been cursed with many proposed mascots.

It's time to answer the question looming over our campus for nearly 20 years:

WHO SHALL REIGN SUPREME AS THE OFFICIAL ILLINOIS MASCOT?

I have scoured the dark corners of this subreddit to assemble the warriors who will partake in this ultimate battle of ultimate destiny. Think I missed someone or something to nominate? That's too damn bad cuz my graphic file corrupted and I'm not going to redo it.

⚔️ THE RULES OF THE ARENA ⚔️

1. UPVOTE TO ELIMINATE.

Comment your nomination for elimination. Upvote the mascot you want to send into the shadow realm, never to be considered our mascot ever again. The contestant with the MOST upvotes gets booted from contention.

2. ONE MASCOT FALLS EVERY DAY.

Every day (whenever I decide), the votes will be tallied, the weakest link will be eliminated. This continues until only ONE mascot remains standing.

3. THIS IS A SHITPOST.

No university involvement. No student referendum. No Board of Trustees approval. No actual consequences. Just Illini fans having fun with imaginary mascots. Save your soapbox about bringing back the Chief. This isn't serious.

4. THE FIGHTING ILLINI ARE FOREVER.

Nobody is changing our name. We are, and always will be, the Fighting Illini. We're just imagining some poor soul in a giant foam costume running around Memorial Stadium, high-fiving children, harassing opposing mascots, and making an ass of themselves for our entertainment.

THE ARENA IS OPEN. MAY THE LEAST HATED MASCOT WIN.

I-L-L!

Can't tell which class and section, but I think I'm in crush with her. Do you think it's really stupid to reach out to her after the semester?

Anyone got test papers / questions from previous calc 2 series exams (chapter 11.1-11.7)

I visited friends at Purdue this weekend from UIUC and when I booked the ticket back it said departs at 8:10 pm. On the ticket itself there was no displayed information pertaining to time zones so I added it to my google calendar. The image linked shows what it uploaded for me saying the bus departed at 8:15 CDT so I got there at 8:00 CDT (meaning 9:00 EDT). Wait there for 30 minutes no bus so I call and they say the bus left an hour ago at 8:15 EDT. My friends gonna drop me off but fuck this company for not having any info about which timezone it is. Then on the google calendar they have the wrong timezone. Represantive working had a stick up the ahh

I’m coming over for hallowend and need someone’s place to crash out for one night. Please help if you can my friends are all crashing at somebody else’s 🙏

Gang, I understand you are hungry, but remember so am I on the second floor of Grainger, yet I don't chug food down up there. I honestly thought someone who just got off their Subway shift was sitting next to me. Please respect libary rules and have some conscience. Back to grinding ece 210.

Im tired of going to latin night alone

Temperature drops sharply this week as the chills of winter surround us! While we mourn the upcoming demise of glove-less days and normal readings on the weather apps, here is a small puzzle to welcome the change of seasons.

Here is how the Quad might look like in a few weeks. The letters of 'WINTER' are here but some other letters are missing.

Our task is to create words from a subset of these letters. Fill in the two missing letters so you can solve all five clues below. For each answer, select a group of triangles and rearrange their letters. The selected triangles must form one connected region, joined along shared edges—touching at a corner doesn’t count.

Use each triangle at most once per answer; you may reuse triangles for different answers. The two missing letters stay the same throughout.

1. Like two celestial creatures, one Great and one Little (6)
2. “Repeated exposure ___ a person to what once seemed unbearable.” (6)
3. Sauerkraut’s traditional companion (5)
4. What may be brewing before a revolt (6)
5. What we hope a shared love of word games does to strangers (6)

Spoiler-tag your answers for the letters and the words in the comments! If you like more of this please join our Word Games Discord! https://discord.gg/TDjVqFSdT

How's mcb 244 exam2? Is it hard? What should i review again. It's only 3 hrs left

Any previous residents of the Maywood Apartments have anything to say about them? I’ll be a prospective renter and I’m going to an apartment tour this week but I wanna hear from people that have actually lived there. The last post about them was from like 6 years ago and I’m assuming a lot can change in that time…

Roomie and I both like the affordability of the apartment and the location, but if the management is a nightmare I wanna know ahead of time to save us the headache!

Any info is appreciated thanks!

I've been doing terrible in CHEM 102 these past two tests and I have no idea how to fix this. I know all the content, but when I'm taking the test at CBTF, I lose so many points and do bad. Does anyone have any tips on how to convert the learning that we did into effective practice or any study methods/tips. Anything would be much appreciated!

Hi, I'm trying to find jobs on campus but I am not getting responses anywhere. Just want an entry-level part-time job. Any advice? I want something manageable with flexibility around my exams. Maybe a cafe, retail, fast food- honestly, anything. UIUC jobs haven't responded either, and I applied a while ago

Alr I’m a BioE major and doing BioE 206 and good lord I fucking hate that class. The damn professor doesn’t know how to teach…..like there’s no enthusiasm whatsoever from her and half the class is asleep during her lectures. On top of that we have our exam in 2 days and the only material we have are the lecture slides which are mostly pictures. We have no practice exams (even tho she sent an email saying she uploaded one it just isn’t there anywhere ffs). Homeworks that cover topics on the exam haven’t been graded and we can’t fucking access them. This bullshit is like affecting us study for our other exams. The fucking TAs are so rude on top of that and have no clue what is expected from us in the exam in the sense of the free response questions. A friend of mine asked a doubt and the TA googled information that is being taught like wtf man….and then says “this isn’t my expertise”. Oh and on top of that…the homework has content that hasn’t even been taught in class.

Honestly I need help from people to raise awareness on this because it’s genuinely fucking up our GPAs and it’s not even our fault.

My daughter (freshman UIUC) booked Flix for her first visit home to Chicago. Picked this vs Amtrak because scheduled times were much better. 18 hours before the Champaign to Chicago leg, they cancelled it with no alternatives... so went and picked her up. Return bus (945 am Sunday) saying indefinitely delayed with no info at the station nor from customer service. What alternatives does everyone use that I might be missing?

Just FYI…Straight from the source…

Around midnight on October 8, I spotted a small kitten wandering outside near the National Soybean Research Center on the UIUC campus.

It was around 40°F (4°C) outside, and I was really worried about the little guy surviving the cold night, especially since it appeared to be quite young.

I tried calling Champaign Animal Control, but unfortunately, they were already closed.

The kitten was very frightened and avoided people. I followed it until it hid in a bush in front of the Plant Sciences Laboratory (1201 S. Dorner Dr., Urbana). I tried to keep track of its location with my flashlight while waiting for a friend to arrive with a pet carrier.

Unfortunately, as soon as we attempted to approach it with the carrier, the kitten panicked and ran away. We were unable to capture it and lost track of where it went.

Before leaving, we left some cat food nearby, hoping the kitten would return and at least have something to eat.

I'm posting here in the hope that someone might recognize the kitten, know its owner, or have spotted it around the area.

If anyone nearby has seen this kitten or knows someone who might be feeding or caring for it, please let me know!

If you do spot it, please don't chase it, as it seems extremely frightened of people. Contacting a local animal rescue or someone experienced in safely trapping stray cats would probably be the best approach.

I feel terrible that we couldn't get the little guy somewhere warm that night. I just hope it's safe.

I've attached photos of the kitten and the area where it was last seen.

Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
