Maybe you saw this tweet from Illinois Football head coach Lovie Smith last night.
We truly have the best band in the nation. I look outside tonight to find them playing our Illinois Fight Song. A special thank you to @BarryLHouser and @MarchingIllini—what an incredible feeling! Thank you for all of your support! #ILLINI

Now, Lovie doesn't tweet much, so this might seem pretty confusing.
But, to clear things up, Lovie was actually serenaded by the Marching Illini after he returned to his office at the Smith Center following the Illini’s win at Purdue on Saturday.
Now, if Lovie and Co. could just get their band to a bowl game...
extend Lovie and Barry forever https://t.co/W0YHotYboT
