I’ve been an Illini fan my entire life. Many people know me for my passion and love of Illini Athletics. It’s something that’s been with me for my entire life, and I can’t picture it leaving me anytime soon. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why I’m an Illini fan, as it’s been a part of me for longer than I can even remember.
I started going to basketball games when I was only a few months old, and my earliest memories of anything are of Illini games, sitting up in section C28, row 11. While those memories were more focused around met eating the popcorn and snickerdoodles, I do have vague recollections of the game.
