Are you ready for some football?

Fighting Illini Football is back!  Last year's thrilling season ended  with  a great win over Tennessedd at the  Music City Bowl.  We will have a new look Illini with our QB Katin  Houser and new defense with our DC Bobby Hauck.  Predictions are high for another bowl game appearance.  Join us at Bobbie's Social House, 4520 Frankfort in Dallas.  Our first game is Thursday, September 3 vs UAB.  It will be exciting to see the new scoreboard. Once again, the Alumni Association will have weekly drawings for Illini swag including an script Illinois ball cap, Football Jersey and Gies Memorial Stadium snowglobe.  Last year, Louis was a lucky winner.

The annual Illini Cookout will be on Saturday, November 7. 

Please plan on joining us for BBQ  with all the fixins.  Drinks are BYOB.   This is a fundraiser for our scholarship award.  There will be drawings for Illini gear.   We had so much fun last year and hope to see y'all there!

We will have our 3nd Annual canned food drive for the Iowa game, November 21.

Last year, we donated 100 pounds of food.  Thanks to all who donated and we hope to surpass that this year. 

We had a great year last year and hope to have an even better 2026-2027.

Let's have a great year!  I-L-L!
