I'm not an alumnus yet, but I will be in just three short months! After going to to football game a few weeks ago, I have to say I am really feeling like an Illini. I'm turning into one of those weird people who loves college football, but only when it is their alma mater. It's kind of insane how into Illini football I have become. I actually don't mind at all when Seth wants to watch or listen to a game and hey are actually doing pretty well this season. 4-0 for the first time in years! Tonight was the homecoming parade, which was really random, but still a good time. There was a lot of I-L-L...I-N-I and random homecoming court members, one of whom had the worst hair I'd ever seen. But enough talk, onto the pictures.
The Chief made an appearance at the parade. He's not allowed at the games anymore thanks to NCAA regulations, but he was by far a crowd favorite at the parade.
The stunt and tumbling team was another favorite and they stopped to do some stunts right in front of us.
The actual cheerleader came later and they did this impressive stunt, of course it would have been more impressive if they all hadn't looked so nervous in the moments leading up to the lift.
Of course, it wouldn't be a parade without the Marching Illini.
***Update: The Fighting Illini are now 5-0 after winning the Homecoming Game!***
