ILL - INI

On Saturday December 6th Drew went to his first ever Fighting Illini sporting event. The Men's basketball team traveled to Chicago to play Georgia at the United Center. It was a cold, windy day but that didn't stop Tiffany's strong desire to get him in his orange & blue Chief gear and down to the city.

We stopped in at Dan B's apartment which I think was near Lakeview. Here Dan B, Jen S, Joe W, Alex & Emily R, and Jen & Eric D got to meet Drew for the very first time. Josh & Linda H were there as well but they had met him after the Northwestern football game in November.

The Illini cruised to a 76-42 victory in front of a rather small contingency of Illini fans (around 11,000). Despite the small crowd it was loud as usual at the UC, but Drew slept right through it. He woke up once or twice for no particular reason.

Here's some pix from the game:

Look who's awake and unknowingly supporting Chief Illiniwek!
