[QUOTE="Illinir1, post: 1210961, member: 4270"] I was a Sr. at Illinois when a housemate invited me to go to my first Illini game on Oct. 18th, 1980 - Purdue 45 Illini 20 Purdue's Mark Herrmann was 24/35, 341 yds., 4 TD Illini QB was Dave Wilson....game stats unknown, but he finished 3rd in NCAA in passing and 2nd in B1G, behind Purdue's Mark Herrmann. After I graduated the following May ('81), I purchased season tickets for what was the 2nd season of the Mike White era and the beginning of the Illini's ascent to be the 1983 B1G champions. This will be my 36th year as a season ticket holder. Those first three years ('81-'83) of Illini football were magical and have kept me coming back ever since. :chief::illinois::chief::shield::chief::illinois::chief: [/QUOTE]
