St. Louis transplant, Illiniboard.com creator and host of the podcast We Love No Other talks Illini obsessions in preparation for the 2022 football season.

Listen as Robert Rosenthal explains how he retired from his landscape architecture job in pursuit of his love and loyalty for all things Illini (right before the pandemic shut down college sports.) Robert schools me on why my husband's white knuckling through games is actually a healthy outlet for emotions, why losses hurt more than wins feel good and why he is one of the few that appreciate Illini football over Illini basketball. We end on Robert's tight-lipped season predictions and the controversial subject of the Chief. Is Robert pro or against?
