Snowstorm transforms Northwestern-Illinois rivalry

Memorial Stadium in Champaign-Urbana turned into a real-life snow globe during the Northwestern-Illinois rivalry game, with heavy snow and whipping winds blanketing the field. Players and fans had to adapt on the fly—imagine trying to run plays or even see the action through the swirling whiteout! Some athletes, like Illinois linebacker James Kreutz, even warmed up shirtless in the frigid conditions. For locals, the storm was a hassle, but for college football fans everywhere, it made for unforgettable scenes and epic photos. How do you think weather like this changes the game? #Sports #Football #Northwestern
