The Weekend Desk ReportThe Jane Byrne Interchange wlll go dark at midnight to honor the former mayor, who died on Friday; the ensuing rash of car crashes will symbolize her administration. Then we can go back to calling it the Circle. Side Eye Illini "The billboards went up in August, soon after the university reversed a ban on beer sponsorships, allowing them in exchange for at least 'six figures' in additional revenue a year, according to officials with the university's Division of Intercollegiate Athletics." For seven figures and a building, the university will offer a major in Comparative Beer Studies. * "But university officials were blindsided by the billboards. While they had approved the artwork to be used at places that sell alcohol - bars, restaurants and grocery stores, for example - they didn't realize it also would be displayed on billboards, including some near campus." And because the university doesn't want to give the impression that it is promoting drinking on campus (at the rate of the current contract), it asked MillerCoors to take the billboards in Champaign down. Which is almost as lame as letting Coors Light be your official beer. * Besides, High Life is the Champaign of beers. * By the way, the Fighting Illini have a better record than the Bears, whose official beer is Miller Lite, which is about right. This state has a long way to go before it's drinking Wisconsinbly.
