And we do!!

After much effort by the board, we have booked our speaker for this year's Scholarship Dinner...

Illinois Head Football Coach Ron Zook!!

This took a lot of effort on the part of everyone involved, so we hope you all come out and see the coach at this year's dinner---the date is scheduled for June 14, 2007, and the setting/ticket information will be announced later.

A definitive bio of Coach Zook can be found HERE.

Interesting to note that on Wednesday, Feb 7th at 7 am, viewers can log onto coachronzook.com to catch a rare glimpse of the Illini football offices in action on the NCAA Football National Letter of Intent Signing Day.
