]]> On Saturday November 26, 2022, I attended a college football game in Evanston, Illinois at Ryan Field. The University of Illinois Fighting Illini came to town to take on the Northwestern Wildcats on mild fall day. The University of Illinois Fighting Illini team beat the Northwestern Wildcats by a score of 41 to 3. Northwestern avoided the shutout with a field goal by Adam Stage in the fourth quarter wtih the drive led by Northwestern quarterback Jack Lausch who came on after Cole Freeman threw four interceptions. Northwestern running back Evan Hull ran for 53 yards on the ground with 20 carries. Illinois running back tandem Reggie Love III and Chase Brown both scored a touchdown and combined for over 140 yards. The Northwestern 2022 college football team finished the season with a record of 1-11 with the only win coming against Nebraska in Ireland.

Below are some pictures from the day at Ryan Field including football action and views from outside the stadium.

]]> I was able to attend a college basketball game at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, on Friday, December 1, 2017. The Northwestern University Wildcats played the University of Illinois Fighting Illini. Northwestern is playing all home games for the 2017 to 2018 basketball season at Allstate Arena while Welsh-Ryan Arena undergoes a renovation.

Northwestern beat Illinois by a score of 72 to 68 in overtime. Northwestern guard Scottie Lindsey came off the bench to score a team high 22 points. Northwestern forward Vic Law scored 16 points with seven rebounds while Northwestern guard Bryant McIntosh scored 14 points with six assists.

Orange wearing Illini fans greatly outnumbered purple wearing Wildcats fans in attendance. Several Northwestern football players and the head football coach Pat Fitzgerald were in attendance, as the players named to the All-Big Ten this season were recognized during a timeout.  The Northwestern University “Wildcat” Basketball Band and Northwestern University director of athletic bands Daniel J. Farris were also in attendance to play songs for the crowd throughout the game. Below are some pictures I took while at Allstate Arena during the Illinois vs Northwestern college basketball game.
