When was the last time we played Illinois in any of the Big 3 sports?

I can’t remember us ever playing them in anything over 30+ years of paying attention to MSU sports.

Just looked it up.

Our 1980 football team beat Illinois 28-21 in Champaign. We've played them one other time in football: 1923 . . . we lost 27-0 in Champaign.

I don't think we've ever played them in basketball.

ME mentioned baseball already.
