There weren’t many #Illini fans saying #GoBlue at Memorial Stadium today. But this young fan might have a soft spot for Michigan after this exchange with Donovan Edwards as fans flooded the field.
A hearty contingent made their way to Memorial Stadium’s northeast tower as #Illini players and coaches left the field.
I barely missed Bret Bielema, but he seemed to draw the loudest response of anyone.
Car horns are blaring and students are chanting “I-L-L” at the Alma Mater to celebrate an #Illini Big Ten tournament title.
