I’ve spent my entire life growing up as an Illini fan, and there’s been a lot of great memories over those 19 years, but my favorite Illini moment of all time came this season. Yes, this season.
It all started at 1:30 in the morning on a cold December morning, in Saint Joseph, IL. Finals began in a week, but it was the least of my concerns. I rolled out of bed, grabbed my bag, and jumped into my trusty 2007 Toyota Prius. After picking up a few friends, we were off. Our destination? State College, PA.
Illinois volleyball has become my favorite sport to attend as a student, period.
