Coming back to Champaign-Urbana isn't new for Ron Zook.
The former Illinois football coach was here in June for Jay Ramshaw's wedding.
It was a quick trip.
"We went to the wedding, got up early in the morning and left," Zook said Thursday.
When was the last time he was in Memorial Stadium?
"Probably when they fired me," Zook said.
Until today.
Zook and his wife, Denise, made the long drive to Champaign this week from their home in Florida. The 2008 Rose Bowl team is having a reunion and Zook wouldn't miss it.
