Every Monday, The Champaign Room’s Twitter account, @Champaign_Room, sends out a tweet with an Illini-themed question, and you guys send us in answers.
With the local NFL team, the Chicago Bears, having started rookie QB Mitchell Trubisky on Monday night and getting droves of Bears fans excited about the team again, we decided to find out the Illini player that you have EVER been the MOST excited about.
Here are some of the best responses!

Dave Wilson. A passing QB from California that would change the game in the B1G forever.

Honestly Nate Scheelhaase, coming off the Juice era, thought it was more good things to come.

Was really excited for the Juice debut. Looking forward to the future of Illini football in the early Zook era.

And for those of a younger generation...
Pretty excited about @Mark_Smith_13 and @_Trentfrazier1 + hopefully @AyoDos_11 next year.
