I sure am glad we got here early. In a short time this whole lot

will be full. Lets unload everything!

The hamburgers are ready!

Hey Court,

you and Lauren

take Jackie and I in a game of bags. What do

you say?

Sounds great! Yay! We

won!

Yahoo!! Go Illini!

Wisconsin is going down!

Hey Whit! You’re just in time!

Ok, it’s 10:30! The game starts in a half hour.

Lets clean up and start heading over

to Memorial Stadium!

These seats are

great!

Yeah I know. I’m so

glad we have the awning

because it is so hot!

Look at all of the

orange clothing in

the bleachers!

Man, this is going to be a long game. I never know

what is going on and don’t

really like football…

I’ll just ask my dad what’s happening while we

watch it today.

Hey look! The game is starting!

Why did the ref throw the yellow flag?

The referees throw yellow flags on the field right after a penalty has been

committed.

Why do teams punt the football?

A punt is for field position

purposes.

Why would Illini not kick the ball after they just

scored a touchdown?

Instead of scoring an additional 1-

point for kicking an extra point, the Illini could run or pass

the ball for 2 points after a touchdown.

What is so special about

tackling Wisconsin on fourth down?

It is important to do it before the orange markers

because that means we get the ball instead

of them.

Wow, now that I know how football is played,

I understand why people love it so much! I shouldn’t have been so prejudice towards it just because I didn’t

know the rules.

I was able to yell and boo and

cheer at the right times along with the other Illinois fans, that was

great!

I don’t think any

of us stopped

smiling the entire game!

That was a lot of fun Court. I’m glad you

learned more about football

today!

I can’t wait for the football

game on Dad’s Weekend next

year!
