Perhaps the day’s emotions were best summed up by Jones’ aunt, Sherry Joyce.

“It’s hard,” she said.

“These kids have been through a lot,” Cinti said. “Now we start the healing process.”

Beaver said her family is large and they will support each other.

“We will hold this family together; we will get through this,” she said.

David Jones fought tears as he tried to talk about his brother. Then his brother, Shawn, came over and put his arm around David’s shoulder to help him find the composure to deliver his message.

“I want to thank everyone for your support,” David said. “You guys on the football team, you are all my little brothers now. Robbie loved each and every one of you. On behalf of Robbie, I want to say thank you all.”

Williams talked about Robbie’s hair. She said it was always in Robbie’s eyes.

“He told me ‘my hair is me,’” she said. “Then recently he got his hair cut and I asked him why. He said, ‘because I’m mature now.’”

Her comments brought laughter from the audience – a welcome relief from days of continuous sobbing and sadness.

Illini need ‘A’ game to beat Mizzou

Every time Ron Zook watches highlights of the season opener against Missouri last season, the Illini coaches winces.

It’s not so much that the Tigers pulverized the Illini 37-9 at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. It’s the way Mizzou did it.

“They played their best game of the season against us in that game last year,” Zook said Tuesday. “So that’s what we need to have when we play them Saturday.

“We have to come out and play the way we are capable of playing.”

The Illini haven’t been close to their best in the Arch Rivalry series with Missouri that concludes Saturday. Kickoff is 11:30 a.m. (FSM) at the dome.

Mizzou has won the five previous games of the Arch Rivalry in St. Louis, outscoring the Illini 184-120. The Tigers, who lead the series 16-7, haven’t lost to the Illini in the Gateway City since 1896. Illinois is 1-6 in St. Louis against them.

“They are a good football team and well coached,” Zook said of Missouri, 8-5 last season. The Tigers started 4-0, sank to 5-4, then won their final three regular-season games to secure a bowl berth.

Illinois, meanwhile, slumped to 3-9 last season after going 5-7 in 2008. The 2007 team compiled a 9-4 record and reached the Rose Bowl.

However, in Zook’s five years,,More and more new customers become our loyal and regular clients replica jewelry. the Illini are a composite 21-39.

The Illini will showcase a new quarterback (freshman Nathan Scheelhaase), new offensive coordinator (Paul Petrino) and new defensive guru (Vic Koenning). Scheelhaase is from Kansas City, Mo., Petrino comes by way of Arkansas and was at Kansas State.

“I guess there’s a little element of surprise,” Zook said in preparation for Missouri. “We’re not as bad off as you guys seem to make it.”

It appears the retooled Illini have caught the attention of Missouri coach Gary Pinkel.

“There’s some uncertainty playing them because they have a new offensive and a new defensive coordinator,” he said. “So we have to be prepared for some different things. We’ll have to work through it.”

Zook’s trying to wade through a series of injuries, including one to sophomore cornerback Terry Hawthorne of East St. Louis. Last week, he suffered a stress fracture to his right foot and will miss at least two games. The Illini play host to Southern Illinois University Carbondale at 6:30 on Sept. 11.

“You have to deal with adversity and negativity,” Zook said. “That’s part of it.,Buy Cartier watches, Shopping for high quality and lower price Cartier watches.
