Flyin' Illini great Gill sees Illini on the verge

CHAMPAIGN — Kendall Gill was officially inducted into the Illinois Hall of Fame in September. But something he never thought he’d have occurred Thursday night in his return to State Farm Center.

“Never thought I’d have a bobblehead,” the former Flyin’ Illini great said during ‘Illini Pella Saturday SportsTalk’ on WDWS 1400-AM. “It’s great, and I brought some home for my kids and some guys at the station where I work. I turned out pretty good even though my kids aren’t too excited for it. It kind of hurt my feelings. They haven’t even opened up the box yet.
