Yeah, we don't need any commies on our team.  ::)

We've got Marx at fullback.

I've always thought the biggest problem with our recruiting over the past three years is that we haven't been able to find a tailback named Engels. The Marx-Engels backfield should've been a priority.

Well we apparently missed on Don Engels, an Illini quarterback:

"In Don's senior year the team played Stanford in the 1952 Rose Bowl. The game was announced by broadcasting greats Mel Allen and Jack Brickhouse and was the first nationally televised college football game. Illinois won by a score of 40-7 and Don threw the first nationally televised college football touchdown pass. The lessons he learned from his high school and college coaches would guide Don for the rest of his life.

... Don had short stints in the NFL with the Chicago Cardinals and Baltimore Colts, and the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League."

Above from his obituary.

Geaux Cardinal!
