Happy New Athletic Year, Illini Nation!

It’s the best day of the year!

At least for me it is.

August 22, 2019 is the start of a BRAND NEW calendar year for Illinois Athletics!

This is our New Year! Gather around a TV to watch Ryan Seacrest talk to some celebrities as the clock strikes midnight! We made it! We’re here!

It starts Thursday night when Illinois Soccer hosts Loyola at the soccer field on campus.

It’ll end sometime in the fake month of June 2020 with either baseball in the NCAA Championship or track and field at some national event.
