Repping the Illini

Repping the Illini Hey guys, One of the most fun  things I do when Im on campus is to go to Illini sporting events. There is so much that I love about college sports. For starters, you get to see the athletes on campus all the time: in class, out on the town, at the shopping centers, etc. Theres this sense of a personal connection with the players that makes the highs and lows of a season that much more emotional. On top of that, we have amazing traditions that accompany all major sporting events. School fight songs, dances, and more go on during games. And even when we dont happen to have a winning season, like this year unfortunately, Illini sporting events still make for a great night outâ€"or in my case, a pretty solid date night. My girlfriend and I at the Illini basketball game last night I hope you all get to experience an Illini sporting event in the coming year. Until next time, Kenny Kenny Class of 2016 I’m in the Creative Writing program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. I’m originally from Tampa, Florida, but I’ve been calling Illinois my home since 1998. I’ve lived all over the Northwest suburbs, from Palatine to Lakemoor to where I currently live back home, Mundelein.
