It's amazing some of the things that you find surfing the net. I discovered that the University of Illinois won four National Championships in football. Of course, the last one was in 1927, so it's a little late to celebrate. But it is nice to know that my Alma Mater was once a power house.

I also learned that Otto Graham won seven championships for the NFL Cleveland Browns. Otto was from Waukegan, Illinois, my home town. It was before they started holding the super bowl, but still very impressive for one quarterback.
