Now, courtesy a recent TMZSports video, we see proof that Murray remains an Illini fan. In it, Murray jokingly gives a panhandler a hard time about being from North Carolina before going on a rant and finally giving him money.
"North Carolina?" Murray asked after seeing his ID, which he playfully throws into the air. "Sorry, can't help you man. You guys cheated us out of the national championship in 2005."
