1-2 at Michigan Stadium (2008, 2010, 2012, 2022!)
0-1 at Kinnick Stadium (2019)
First game: 2007 vs. Michigan - regretably, I was there that night as a Michigan fan. But don't worry, the student section chanted that I was an "___hole" for wearing a Chad Henne jersey (I was 14). I found it hilarious. That was the only time I ever supported Michigan vs. Illinois.
Most recent game: 2021 vs. Nebraska - Also happened to be my son's first game in his life at 1 year old. Very excited to have kicked off Bielema era with a win.

18-8 at Assembly Hall
4-2 at United Center (2005, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2019 BTT)
0-1 at Welsh-Ryan Arena (2014)
First game: 2005 vs. Xavier - First game was actually at United Center. Should have been 2005 vs. Minnesota, but the weather meant it fell through. Devastated that I missed the Chief dance during halftime, as I stepped out when I thought it wasn't happening.
First game at Assembly Hall: 2006 vs. Indiana - Got to sit in the family section and high-fived Dee and Augustine as they left the court for the last time before Senior Night.
Most recent game: 2022 vs. Michigan - Almost last row lol. Good win. Pretty brutal watch.
