It’s a Tuesday tradition here at The Champaign Room where we send out a tweet asking you something on a Monday and post some of the best responses on the Tuesday in the article, basically a ‘pulse’ of Illini nation.
With a slow news week — the Early Signing Period is over, no men’s basketball until Saturday and we can’t keep braggin’ forever — we decided to just ask you what the best gift you’ve ever gotten is.
Since it was Christmas Day, not many of you answered, but here are all of the answers we did get!
Mine came Dec 23rd that’s all I needs. Getting that W against Mizzou.

Oh man...tough question. Looking back, I was so excited when I got a pair of Derrick Rose’s first signature shoe. https://t.co/Cc6sFK7MDn

And just for some more filler, Director of the Marching Illini Barry Houser gave us some input on a question we had Christmas morning (if it was acceptable to sing the fight song in church)...
Of course it is!

Hopefully everyone had a restful holiday season, and we’ll be back to a full slate of articles all week long!
