Well...
You see it all started on June 7th, 2013. Some guy named Fornelli started a question mailbag during the college sports off-season for readers of a blog called The Champaign Room. If they had a question about anything, they could ask The Champaign Room and The Champaign Room would give them an answer. The answer may not have been to the question they asked, but it was an answer all the same.
Their questions didn’t have to be about Illinois, though they could’ve been. They could ask The Champaign Room about anything their heart desired.
