Illini Football with the Rich's

It's been several years since I've been to an Illinois football game. So when my cousin Debbie sent an email asking if anyone was interested in going, I thought I was well overdue for some time cheering on my alma mater. I wasn't the only one, we had an excellent showing of the Rich Family at the game! And it was an awesome game! The Illini vs. the Hoosiers... and it was a fun game to watch!

Since it was Homecoming, all the alumni were back in town. At one point during the second half, the cheerleader alumni were just as entertaining as the football game. One guy was intent on proving that he still had the skills and was doing lifts, flips and other impressive skills. He looked like he was 40ish. Raymond's girlfriend, who is a cute early 20 something said something like "he's got to be like 60." . I didn't dare ask how old she thought I was. It made me feel a little old to think that it's been almost 10 years since I graduated.

I didn't get a picture, but the Chief made an appearance in the Horseshoe during the 3-in-1. Hail to the Chief! Halftime just isn't the same without you.

After the game we headed back to my Uncle Butch's camper for a little tailgating fun. We all agreed that this was a great idea and we should do it again in 2011. I'll be bringing Rachel along with me next year. She needs to learn how to sing Os-kee-wow-wow and Illinois Loyalty!
