[NU Sports] Illinois

[Jim Bendat]

I recall our two championship seasons in 1995 and 1996.  Illinois was in 
the middle of the season, and we finished each of those years against 
Purdue.  When I went to NU in 1970, I recall the Illinois game being the 
FIRST conference game of that season, and we beat them, 48-0 (that's the 
game that Paul Levinson also fondly recalls, but for a different 
reason!).  -- Jim
