CHAMPAIGN — Joe Spencer watched Sunday night's presidential debate with keen interest.
The 22-year-old center on the Illinois football team is an Ohio native who is waiting on his absentee ballot to arrive from his home state. He graduated in May with a degree in finance and is currently pursuing a master's degree in business administration, but is undecided on whom he'll vote for in the Nov. 8 election.
What he is certain about is what he and his Illini teammates talk about in their Memorial Stadium locker room bears no resemblance to the type of "locker-room talk" that Republican nominee Donald Trump referenced repeatedly in Sunday night's debate, referring to lewd and offensive comments he made about women in a 2005 recording.
