Last week we reported on Illinois head coach John Groce’s successful hairdo, or lack thereof.

The lucky 22,153 fans that attended the Braggin’ Rights game in December 2005 were treated to a commemorative DVD celebrating the silver anniversary (that’s 25 years to the layperson) of the annual holiday showdown between the Missouri Tigers and Illinois Fighting Illini.
