[QUOTE="KenR, post: 1200405, member: 177988"] My first game was the same as someone else's back a few pages. U-C is 2 hours South of home. We went with another couple. We tailgated for 3 hours prior to the game fueling up on ice cold Budweiser and trying to convince each other our Beloved Illini had a half a chance against Woody's Buckeye's. We didn't. We lost 35-0 and left early. It was all over before halftime. I seem to remember John Sullivan having a pretty good game defensively. Can't remember if the QB was Steger or McCray that day. It was November 5th, 1977. I remember it was a very nice day for early November and we partied pretty hard at CR that evening after the game was over. First bowl game was the 1982 Liberty Bowl in Memphis, TN against Bear Bryant's Alabama Crimson Tide. I still remember the hit Jeremiah Castille put on Tim Brewster and the beating Alabama put on Tony Eason. [/QUOTE]
