18 Mascots Enter the Arena. There Can Be Only One Survivor.

For decades, the University of Illinois has been cursed with many proposed mascots.

It's time to answer the question looming over our campus for nearly 20 years:

WHO SHALL REIGN SUPREME AS THE OFFICIAL ILLINOIS MASCOT?

I have scoured the dark corners of this subreddit to assemble the warriors who will partake in this ultimate battle of ultimate destiny. Think I missed someone or something to nominate? That's too damn bad cuz my graphic file corrupted and I'm not going to redo it.

⚔️ THE RULES OF THE ARENA ⚔️

1. UPVOTE TO ELIMINATE.

Comment your nomination for elimination. Upvote the mascot you want to send into the shadow realm, never to be considered our mascot ever again. The contestant with the MOST upvotes gets booted from contention.

2. ONE MASCOT FALLS EVERY DAY.

Every day (whenever I decide), the votes will be tallied, the weakest link will be eliminated. This continues until only ONE mascot remains standing.

3. THIS IS A SHITPOST.

No university involvement. No student referendum. No Board of Trustees approval. No actual consequences. Just Illini fans having fun with imaginary mascots. Save your soapbox about bringing back the Chief. This isn't serious.

4. THE FIGHTING ILLINI ARE FOREVER.

Nobody is changing our name. We are, and always will be, the Fighting Illini. We're just imagining some poor soul in a giant foam costume running around Memorial Stadium, high-fiving children, harassing opposing mascots, and making an ass of themselves for our entertainment.

THE ARENA IS OPEN. MAY THE LEAST HATED MASCOT WIN.

A couple weeks ago, someone posted about a lost bear on board one of our buses. After searching for two weeks, we found the bear!

Paddington really gave us a good run around with a search across several buses in our various facilities. Here are some pictures of Paddington exploring Peoria Charter to brighten up everyone's Friday~

The original post has since been deleted, but we have already reached out to the passenger directly notifying the bear has been found and they should be reunited soon :)

Prospective Students What are my chances getting into UIUC for EE?

• Upvotes

I’m a high school senior currently in a really competitive part in northern Virginia. My academics aren’t too bad with a 3.9 unweighted and a 4.18 weighted gpa, I’ll attach my course load down below. My test scores aren’t that great with me getting a 1200 on the SAT. For ec’s I’ve played travel club ice hockey since I was in 2nd grade as a goalie. I also have been on my school’s hockey variety team since freshman year. My travel team won states last year and we went onto nationals in Philly. My high school team won states last year as well and also went undefeated the entirety of the season. I’ve also been working at my local ice rink for the past year and got employee of the month my first full month working there and also have had a couple of promotions as well doing different positions. I’ve also been playing in band (percussion) since 5th grade and stopped doing it start of junior year. Me and my friends since elementary school also created a rock band and played a handful of gigs and working on our first song as well. I also started a small business since the start of the summer working and repairing devices in my local community such as laptops, headphones, gaming consoles and calculators. My main goal was to try and give back to my community by giving them affordable services and rates due to some repair shops in the area overcharging for some services. For clubs at my school I’m currently vice president for my rock band club where we get musicians/bands and help them and cater gigs to help people engage more in music, and I’m also in my ACE(architecture, construction, engineering) club where me and several others placed 2nd at a district competition last school year.

Here are all the AP/IB classes I’ve taken:
APHUG-10th
IB design tech pt 1 SL-11th
APUSH-11th
DE precalc-11th
IB Philosophy SL-11th
AP Lang-11th
AP Physics 1-11th
AP lit-12th
AP BC calc-12th
AP Gov-12th
AP Physics c mechanics and electromagnetism-12th
IB design tech pt2 SL-12th
(I’m currently taking AP physics c m&em at a different high school from my main one due to my main one not offering it)

Currently I’ve been recovering my grades, my first bc calc test I got a 53 and on my most recent test I got a 98 so I’m still trying to recover my calc grade, and for physics I didn’t do to hot on my first test and I’m slowly recovering from that as well. I’m hopefully trying to raise those grades up to at least around a low b at the moment from where they’re currently placed (mid c’s for physics and calc).

Here is also my list of colleges at the moment that I’m thinking of applying too:
Colorado school of mines
TAMU
UT Austin
Virginia tech
Georgia tech
Purdue
UIUC
Mississippi state university
University of Michigan
UVA
RIT
VCU
(If you guys have any suggestions I would love to hear them)

My main issue is my SAT score, I’m not sure if I should apply EA to all of my test-optional schools and not submit a test score. Or if I should just wait and submit all of my Apps in January and maybe potentially get around a 1400, but that’s if only I can get that score and my grades stay/improve from where they are currently.

I really love the world of electronics and engineering, and I would love some feedback(please no one be a Debbie downer, I would just love some positive/encouraging comments that would help me improve).

Hobby In desperate need of timing chain repair help

3 Upvotes

So, yesterday, I was on my way to work and my car suddenly died on me at the intersection of university and lincoln. When I scanned the codes, it came up as p011 (timing skipped) which I should have anticipated at I just had to replace one of the guides a couple months ago and the engine has been getting louder since. I still have the rest of the repair kit, the extra guide I didn't have to replace and the new chain, in my trunk, however due to this incident I ended up getting booked for a traffic ticket I failed to pay fines on and had to be bailed out by a friend that I now owe $1000, plus the remainder of the $2000 I owe the guy I bought the car from. Was just wondering if there were anyone in the area with a timing repair kit that can help me get these sprockets off so I can put in the new timing chain that works for a 2012 malibu 2.4 ecotec? Work will be done in the back lot of the FedEx ground station over on Staley, and I'm perfectly willing and capable of doing the work myself, I just need that sprocket lock to get them off. Willing to treat whoever helps to a meal up to $100 after the repair is done. Just really need to take care of this so I can get back to building back up because of this whole mess. Also because I rather enjoy doing the work myself rather than taking it to a mechanic. (There's just something about that feeling of triumphing over a machine that just DOES NOT want to comply)

Edit:

I went ahead and just bought a new timing kit that according to the guy working at Napa comes with the sprocket locks. Here's to hoping my boss got the tools back for the station today so I can maybe just knock this job out today and get to doordashing to get myself right again real quick.

I don't know if I should go since Im worried about joining in the middle of the year and if anyone else who's transferred in the spring has made friends or a success story? Im just worried I won't make friends or be able to find okay housing if I just go in the fall I'll get to have the full transfer stuff and join the new freshman with quad day and stuff. Any advice?
