Illini Nation through 120+ Years of Illini Football
A Data Driven Discovery by Ashley Simon, Nicole Ng, and Wade Fagen-Ulmschneider*
Introduction
In the past 120 years, since the year 1892, the University of Illinois' men's football team played over 1,200 games of football. As part of CS 205: Data Driven Discovery, a project-based data science course open to all non-CS majors, groups of students analyzed a dataset that consists of every football game played by the Illini since 1892. This page is the result of one group's work.
Legend
A circle is started for every Illini game, centered on
the opponent's city.
As years pass, circles dissipate with time.

Driven Discovery to make something just like this!
- If you are familiar with computation know and understand how to use a conditional, loop, array/list, and a dictionary/object (in any language!), you have the prerequisite knowledge to sign up for CS 205!
- If you're not yet familiar with computation, learning how to program a computer is one of the most amazing things you can do at college! We offer CS 101 [course website, course catalog], CS 105 [course website, course catalog], and CS 125 [course website, course catalog], all of which will give you the prerequisite knowledge for CS 205!
