TCR’s Twitter account, @Champaign_Room, (and Facebook page!) sends out a tweet with #IlliniPulse asking for your opinion on something every Monday night, and we post out the best answers in this article every Tuesday!
This week we asked for one sentence you would tell someone for why they should root for the Illini in 2017, and you guys answered! Here are some of the best responses!
Because this is the ground floor.
Get in on the ground floor.

Because Lovie and Brad and Whitman...
You're gunna want our Lovie, you're gunna want it real Brad
— Sean (@sean_cler) August 15, 2017
We have Lovie at the helm!

If you're ever going to root for our Fighting Illini , wouldn't your best bet be with a winner in Lovie Smith and a staff of 57 years

In addition, Brad Underwood has done nothing, NOTHING BUT WIN!!!!

AND VOLLEYBALL’S CHRIS TAMAS (P.S. Thanks for the reply, Coach!)
Chris Tamas!

Because it has to get better.
No way we can be worse than last year. (I said the same thing last year.....)

We have no where to go but up so you won't be surprised if it doesn't go good

Because Illinois is first (alphabetically) in the Big Ten!
