[QUOTE="MustangWally, post: 1809748, member: 748199"] First game: September 20, 1969 vs. Washington State. My freshman year. Remember it well. Didn't know anybody yet, so I went by myself. Sat in the east upper deck. The Illini blocked a WSU field goal as the clock wound down to seemingly save the game. However, a penalty on the Illini gave WSU a second chance to win the game. Final score: WSU 19 ILL 18. Illini would go winless that year. I went to every game. [MEDIA=youtube]ERgimd99Udo[/MEDIA] Most recent game: October 19, 2019 homecoming vs Wisconsin. 50 years later. Again comes down to a last second field goal after a late interception. James McCourt hits from 39 yards and the Illini pull the huge upset. Beautiful day in Champaign. Sat in the east main stand with a group of Wisconsin fans. It was sweet. [MEDIA=youtube]T28nz2vIvYo[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
