  The Illini Irish  

Bay Area Illini Unofficially Crawl through San Francisco

An unforgettable Irish evening.

The Bay Area Illini participated in an unofficial St. Paddy's Day Barcrawl in March to celebrate the infamous University of Illinois holiday. Over 40 alums from over 25 graduating classes joined in the social occasion to support the Bay Area Illini and promote one of the most social events of the club. Alumni sported green T-Shirts that cheekily announced "Kiss Me I'm Illini". Alumni partook in games, dancing, karaoke, drinking green beer, and overall fantastic fun!

Unofficial started with dinner at the Blue Light in the Cow Hollow district of San Francisco and 5 bars later ended up at Jones Sports Bar (our Illinois game watch location) in the Marina. Our irrepressible alums competed to

  1. Do an Irish Jig
  2. Sing the Alma Mater
  3. Do an Irish CarBomb
  4. Play a Game at a Bar and
  5. Drink a Green Beer

The eventful night made others in the crowd stop and say to themselves “Irish I were an Illini”!
