CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WLS) -- Gov. JB Pritzker was seen recently at a popular University of Illinois bar.

Pritzker posted a video at KAMS in Champaign to get people to vote for U of I in Barstool's Best College Town Tournament.



The governor did as the college kids do and "iced out." He removed the ice from his drink, which appeared to be a "Blue Guy," before finishing it.

He also said, "I-L-L," the chant for U of I students, which is finished with "I-N-I."



Unfortunately, Champaign was eliminated from the competition over the weekend.

But the college town did make it to the top 16 in the country, according to Barstool U.
