Future fan

One of Milo's aunts works for the University of Illinois -- which is my alma mater, by the way -- and sent him some Illini-themed gifts. Among them was a cute picture frame that says, "Born to be an Illinois Fan!"

Because the S.O. and I have a weird sense of humor, and because the sports teams at Illinois have had a tendency to choke in crucial situations (at least when I was a student there), we put this picture in the frame.

Because if he's a true fan, he will have to get used to the tears.

OK. OK. The Illini have made it to the Final Four in basketball and have had bowl wins in football. but come on, it's still funny.
