Brandon Peters’ dive is an all-time great Illini play

It’s really easy to forget about why we do this ‘fandom’ thing. So easy.

When seasons end with two wins or a fired coach or a 63-0 loss or something of that nature, it’s easy to sit back and be like ‘why are we doing this to ourselves?’ or ‘is there literally nothing else I can be doing right now?’

And then there comes a moment like Brandon Peters’ dive on a 4th-and-17 with 1:44 left down 15 in the damn Redbox Bowl and you’re like, ‘oh yeah, that’s why I do this.’

I think we all had that moment Monday afternoon.
