The Maryland show was hands down the best show I have seen by the MI in years. Congrats to them and hopefully they continue this trend! Note: some not very happy with fire extinguisher residue on the field although it looked cool. Maybe try something else next time?

Meh, I see clips of other college marching bands doing drill that are probably more "fan favorites" than the MI does. Geometic shapes on the field don't excite the crowd like figures of people, words, or things like planes, trains and automobiles. And the MI does do a fair amount of standing...

Curious as to other’s opinions on the Marching Illini. I’m a former member as our three children. I don’t understand why seem to be doing more and more performances as a backdrop for other bands. The Mariachi band was good yesterday, but I didn’t come for a quinceañera, I came for a college...

The UI event looks like it leaves from a different point that this one. This one leaves from Kirkland, and the UI event leaves from north of downtown Seattle. I was too late to sign up for the UI boat, but plan to be at the game. The 1 train stops right on campus too, so it's an easy trip from...

Lookss llike tthey fixxed itt.

It will help a lot that IU isn’t showing up until Sunday.

Check out the Charlotte Illini club website. I emailed them and they seem to be welcoming one and all. (BYOB)

Tickets bought today-plenty in or immediately adjacent to the Charlotte Illini club.

I'm buying our tickets today, also from the Duke website. Anyone else going to book theirs on the west side to avoid some sun? Looks like I can get them beneath the pressbox/suite area and maybe get some relief by halftime.

We went to the KU game two years ago with high hopes and for a variety of reasons, that trip sucked, although the people were very friendly. We also went to Lincoln last fall, and that trip was amazing. Obviously the win was incredible on their 400th sellout, but the people were the best...

We will be heading there from DC as well. Meeting our daughter and SIL and heading down Friday night. I'll be the guy in orange, probably drinking beer.

We just bought our flights for the Duke game. With the gametime announced at noon eastern, how hot/sunny will it be on the visitor side? Section 1 is where the visitor tickets are, so just down from where you sat.

It never fails to amaze me when someone hates their employer so much that they work against the employer. At the very least, they should understand basic economics. And maybe, just maybe, look on the positive side of things?

Does Henry survive the offseason?

Anyone have any knowledge about what time bars, etc. will open around the stadium?
