Griffey decides to roll with Illinois
I told him when he signs his letter of intent, I'll buy him a car with his college money," said Chris Griffey. The Griffey family drove up from suburban St. Louis Saturday to attend Illinois' 83-75 loss to Purdue so Tyler could "officially" make his commitment in person. Griffey joins three other juniors -- Warren's Brandon Paul, Peoria Central's D.J. Richardson and Sterling's Joseph Bertrand -- in Illinois' 2009 recruiting class. "You've got to look at who you're going to be playing with," said Tyler Griffey. "I think us four can do something here. I'm excited." Griffey's commitment closed out an elongated recruiting chase. Missouri and Saint Louis gave Griffey scholarship offers while he was still in eighth grade at Rockwood Valley Middle School. Recruiting bonanza: Illinois' football program capitalized on the rare Saturday afternoon home game to bring more than 30 juniors and seniors to town for unofficial visits.

The trend has also caught the imagination of the man on the street, forcing the politicos to show their political muscle in their arch opponents area of operation. Although senior politicians have been organising political performances outside their own constituencies or home districts in the past, these were either a part of a statewide political campaign like the one launched by late Devi Lal in 1985 against the Rajiv-Longowal accord or such events marked the end of campaigning before the assembly or parliamentary election in the state. For several decades, Rohtak remained the first choice of all major political parties and their leaders for hosting campaign-end shows.
