[QUOTE="21ChampaignSt, post: 1809728, member: 748616"] I don't remember my first football game very well, unfortunately. It must have been circa 2003. I remember the Chief and I remember walking through the tailgate lots as a young teen/preteen thinking that college looks awesome. My most recent football game was the Minnesota game. We know how that went 😎 I remember my first basketball game vividly. Second round of the ncaa tournament against ND at the RCA Dome in Indy in 2003. I went to the open practice the day before and Dee Brown signed my hat. The game didn't go as hoped. I remember the next game in the session was Dwayne Wade's Marquette vs Missouri. I was too upset to even really be interested in it. My most recent game was last year's conference title clincher over Iowa. That one is unforgettable for different reasons. My buddy and I decided to just stay in our seats and watch from above rather than storm the court. It was like an orange and blue confetti filled fever dream. The craziest part is that driving to the game, no one thought we would be playing for a championship. Then Nebraska beat Wisconsin and this palpable electricity swept through Champaign. Ready to experience that again this year. [/QUOTE]
