Illinois Football and Absolute Zero

It's not hyperbole to say this winter is the most important offseason in program history.

Chemistry was never one of my strongest subjects. Not in high school when Mr. Hill's never-ending monotone ramblings conspired to get me detention for falling asleep and certainly not in college when I sat in Noyes Hall quietly hoping to get just enough questions right that some vet school would overlook the hit my GPA would take (one did). But there was one concept that always amazed me and that is absolute zero.

For our non-science folks, absolute zero is literally the coldest possible temperature.
