the first game I went to after arriving at UIUC, we lost by 50 or so to Nebraska. I think we were down 14-0 inside of a minute
The first game I took my son to was that buttfucking we took by La Tech in 2012 lol. I got like 2nd row horseshoe tickets, was looking forward to showing the kid the Illini football experience.
La Tech came out from the jump and just fucked us dry. Place was quiet all night as we just got pumped. I remember my son looking at me a few times, with that look like "fuck is this?"
Lol I was like, umm, yeah, well, this is Illinois football.
