WE'RE LOYAL TO YOU ILLINOIS!

Talking Illini brings the Internet chat rooms to life for Fighting Illini sports fans worldwide to participate in an actual sports talk show that is All Illini All the Time. With over forty years each of Orange and Blue passion and enthusiasm, hosts Boz and Mr.G. bring the programs closer to the fans with their engaging interviews of members of the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics, coaches, student athletes and their family members, high school coaches, and members of the media who cover the Fighting Illini. Listeners are able to call the toll-free TalkZone lines during the show (Tuesdays 4PM to 6 PM Central Time) or email (talkingillini@yahoo.com) Boz and Mr.G. to ask questions of them or their guests and talk about the games or whatever else might be on their minds pertaining primarily to football and men's basketball.

The combination of Boz, the blind loyalist, and Mr.G., the bottom line realist, makes TALKING ILLINI two hours of fun and a must listen.

Oskee-Wow-Wow, Illinois!
