Illinois Fighting Illini football fans have a very different college football experience than those who latch onto the likes of Ohio State, Alabama, USC, Oklahoma and teams in that echelon. Browsing Reddit has made that abundantly clear, as I see discussion threads such as this one asking about a recent season that’s a blank spot in your memory as a fan. In this thread, several fanbases reflected shamefully on 10-win seasons that were below expectations. This is the kind of emotion I’ll never fully understand, along with such phenomena as being certain your team will win a conference game, or feeling good about the prospect of returning a punt.
