[Newspoetry] blocking foul called against UIUC Chancellor Aiken

[Joe Futrelle]

Urbana, IL (Associated Poets):

With debate between the Chiefs and the Anti-Chiefs in overtime, UIUC
Chancellor Michael Aiken was called on a defensive foul.  Aiken was
called by referee Michael Mihm for blocking the Anti-Chief's
talking-to-potential-atheletes play.  The illegal block returns the
ball to the Anti-Chiefs late in the second half.

Aiken tried to retract his block with a mass email this week but the
foul had already been called.  The Anti-Chiefs will inbound the ball
with just years on the clock.  Look to the Anti-Chiefs to try to get
the ball to star forward Stephen Kaufmann.

During a recent timeout, Kaufmann, who is 2-0 for the game, encouraged
his teammates by telling them that the ability to engage in a full and
vigorous debate on issues of concern is the hallmark of a great
academic institution.  Aiken is returning to the bench for the
remainder of the game.
