Illinois Fighting Illini fans have been through a lot this season. The emotional roller coaster is in the highest gear and we are just in for the ride.
The season started off with a high because everything was going to change with the hiring of Lovie Smith.
After one game this season, that feeling didn’t change much. Illinois dominated Murray State and things were off to a great start.
The Illini then faced off against North Carolina in what was a great game into the fourth quarter. They fell to the Tar Heels, but they fought hard and competed.
