It came down in Wisconsin, folks.
No. 23 Wisconsin took on Illinois on Saturday, and we had our first SNOW GAME of 2018. Yes, on Oct. 20, it was full-on snowing in Madison.

Illini head coach Lovie Smith looked quite cold:

Look at how much snow there was in the first quarter!

It was a doozy, folks, and as a native Floridian, I can say this looked positively miserable:

Another funny thing about this whole thing — Illinois wore all-white unis in a snow game.

One of the last schools to do this was Army in 2017 against Navy, and the Black Knights almost looked camouflaged:

But in the second quarter, the snow eventually subsided.
The snow quickly melted off the field after the sun came back out:

It was fun while it lasted!
