Ironically on this very same date 15 years ago, Illinois played a home game that is considered to be one of the hottest on record with a game time temperature of 96 degrees and a heat index of 108. They beat Arkansas State 33-15.
Springfield fell just 1° short of a new record today. They did hit 100° and this was the first time since 2012 that they have had a 100° temperature. That is the 2nd longest stretch between 100° days since 1879.
The biggest weather forecast EVER on a college football video screen coming your way at halftime this Thursday! Can't wait to see how it looks. If you're at the game snap some pics and send it to me as I'll be working!!!
