S7 Ep5: Illini Football 2003~2006 w/ Nathan Jul 06, 2023

Show notes

We went a different direction with this one. These four seasons saw eight total wins - only two of them Big Ten wins - so a game-by-game breakdown of each season would be too depressing. So Nathan and I talk some about the seasons but more about the journey of the Illini football fan through such low points. Also discussed: how to survive academic probation.

S7 Ep4: Illini Football 1999~2002 w/ Erik Jun 28, 2023

S7 Ep3: Illini Football 1995~1998 w/ Craig Jun 21, 2023

Show notes

Next up: 1995~1998. And I'm gonna warn you right now - that means we'll discuss 10 total wins and one tie across four seasons. But that's the fun of a series like this, right? Craig is my guest for (he was a freshman in 1996), so he remembers a lot about these difficult seasons. They were eventually building to something. We just won't get to that until next week.
Once again a big thank you to the sponsor for this podcast series, UofI Community Credit Union. To see the list of branches I discuss in the intro, click here.

S7 Ep2: Illini Football 1991~1994 w/ Detlef Jun 14, 2023

Show notes

Next up in this summer podcast series (published every Wednesday): 1991~1994. I was a freshman in 1991, and my guest, Detlef, was a sophomore, so this episode is filled with memories from the student section.
