Ill. governor calls Peoria "a little piece of Indiana"

Tonight the Bradley Braves of Peoria are celebrating another upset win in the men's NCAA basketball tournament. Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich made a tortured attempt to hop on the Bradley bandwagon by referring to Peoria as "a little piece of Indiana."

That comment will not play in Peoria. Or the rest of Illinois.

On the positive side, Blago did defend Bradley's effort to keep its politically incorrect nickname, the Braves.
