Arch Rivalry 2009

Arch Rivalry 2009 - University of Illnois vs. University of Missouri Football game!! We travelled to Illinois again this year and met up with the Keiser's from Kansas City to watch the Illini vs. Mizzou football game. Unfortunately for us, even though Illinois was favored we got our butts WHOOPED!! We had a blast though tailgating, watching the game, going out to dinner and hitting up the casino!!

The arch - it was cloudy but the weather was still in the upper 70's


Tailgating


The sea of Orange


Gooooo Illini!!!




Jon and I at the game
