— Bill Cubit (@CoachCubit) February 9, 2015 10 questions about Illinois football comparing itself to stormtroopers


James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
Excuse me Coach Cubit, we have some questions.
- The Galactic Empire is referred to as one of "tyranny, hatred of nonhumans, brutal and lethal force, and, above all else, constant fear." Which of these qualities attracted Illinois to join?
- Are your student athletes true clone troopers, or just conscripts that joined late into the rebellion?
- Why is Nike sponsoring stormtroopers?
- What did that poor stormtrooper do in order to be outfitted with a football instead of a standard-issue blaster?
- Can you explain why there's a letter "T" on that helmet?
- How is Mike Dudek running on a martian environment, that close to the sun without a suit or re-breather?
- Can he do it because he's a Jedi?
- If he's a Jedi then why is he working with a stormtrooper?
- How many football-playing teenagers care about Star Wars, in your estimation?
- Is this Vine accurate?
