Florida or bust

No, I can't let it go. Yes, I believe it's possible that the Outback or Gator Bowl committees select the Illini. No, I don't think it's probable, but I don't care. I just want to see us in Florida on New Years Day.

See, I still don't get it. I know we're new to this whole minor bowl thing, having gone to only one non-BCS bowl since 1995, so if I'm way off here, my bad, but isn't this the week of lobbying? Isn't this when Northwestern cranked up the PR machine last year and made their case for the Outback Bowl? A quick Google search says yes.
