[QUOTE="Buck Turgidson, post: 1658262, member: 174344"] I started in 1979. My first semester was the last semester of age 18 legal drinking in Champaign - good time to be an Illini. I was in PAR so T-Birds was the first bar I went to (and continued to frequent for a few years). Won a team chugging contest there (it was more of a marathon than a sprint). A friend of mine bartended there later, so we'd visit for free refills. One of my older brothers was an NU grad so we went to the games at Memorial Stadium in 1980 and 1982. I recall our seats were always in the last few rows in the East side second deck - lots of sun. We clobbered them both times. 1980 game was Mike White's opener. Good time to be an Illini. [/QUOTE]
