no offense taken, I am a HOOSIER at heart.
Here Here! Cheeseheads rule!!! Cheese head by blood and will, Illini (yes, i believe that term does apply to all of Illinois, as it's named after the Illini indians) by location. I've heard another term for people in Illinois from my cousins in wisconsin, FIB, but that acronym isn't exactly appropriate.
