Illinois vs Eastern Illinois


American football! Just like what you've always watched but never understood in chick flicks - except it's live this time! And in America! Yes, there's the all famous quarterback that the entire female population in the college is dying to date. And of course, the cheerleading squad.

Friendly match:
Illinois (orange and blue) vs Eastern Illinois (white)



This is the huge Memorial Stadium in UIUC, where the game was held. It's bigger than the Indoor Stadium.

I suddenly remembered I read somewhere that people like to look at faces, so from now onwards I will take more photos with faces! There, that's awyong and I.

The Eastern Illinois team doing their warm ups.

The Illinois team running in, with the entire stadium of people screaming and cheering like mad people. The team looks huge right! That's because there are 99 players in a team! But only 11 of them play in a match. It's a very intense game, so they have to keep switching players.

The marching band enters.


They make pretty formations! It's amazing!

The word ILLINI. The athletic teams in UIUC are called fighting Illini.

A mass of orange fans. "Wear orange" was printed on the ticket. The entire stadium was filled with orange people. The Eastern Illinois team must have felt so overwhelmed.

The match begins!

A touchdown for Illinois!

Illinois wins 47 - 21!
Yay! My school rocks!
