rams80 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 We don't think of doughboys when we hear Fighting Illini, now do we?Informed people do.Note: By this definition the athletic department, 99.9% of the fanbase, the faculty, administration, trustees, and pretty much everyone else involved in a decision-making process within the University of Illinois system is "uninformed." I'm not saying lose the nickname, but I am saying that at this juncture it's a bit dishonest to use the doughboys as justification to keep the nickname. Especially when NROTC arguably plays a more regular role on gameday than ROTC (they get to ring the ship's bell from the never-finished U.S.S. Illinois).Also, please note how "Indians" is believed to have been one of the nicknames occasionally used for Illinois athletic teams prior to Fighting Illini. How about that for tradition?

The nickname was also adopted at the same time Memorial Stadium was opened, which was named in honor of the students who were killed fighting in WWI. So basically the nickname was basically inspired by Memorial Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hailstateunis Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 not new, but a new combination: Is that even close to the actual color of that uniform, or is the photo just off? Because in this image the color looks like bad seafood.It's probably the lighting is bad, or bad cameraIt's called an instagram filter. http://www.hailstateunis.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yes, but "Crimson Tide" is a rather abstract concept. "Doughboy" isn't.

illini1 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yes, but "Crimson Tide" is a rather abstract concept. "Doughboy" isn't.When was Illinois ever nicknamed the Doughboys? U of I students weren't just in the army during WWI. They fought in other branches of the military also. Which is why they were called the Fighting Illini, not the Fighting Doughboys.
