[QUOTE="DeonThomas, post: 1938705, member: 748424"] Many, many, many road games for me............for both basketball and football. Nearly all of them have been in the eastern 1/3 of the US, and nearly all of them after graduating and leaving Champaign. Living in South Carolina, I still try to attend 10-15 Illini/Cubs/Bears games each year. Even with Wash, Oreg, UCLA and USC added to our schedule, I hope to hit every "Big 10 away venue" by 2030. I believe I have eight remaining for football, counting the 4 new Pac12 teams. I depart for Lawrence, KS tomorrow morning. Meeting my brother and cousin there for a long weekend and an Illini victory! Guess that will be the football venue furthest to the West for me. Over the years, I've seen lots of Illini basketball victories, but also a ton of Illini football losses. [B]Best road football games:[/B] The Mizzou rivalry games of the 1980's / 1990's, that were played in Champaign and Columbia. I was working in STL many of those years and we (our golf & softball group of 30-40) would often travel via bus, with a 50/50 split of Tiger and Illini fans. [/QUOTE]
