I say let's fight fire with fire and take our own bigger and better cow bells and out bell them.

Was thinking similar but needs to be some (allowed) noisemaker other than cowbells.
Yeah, but for Minnesotans, late December in New York City is a much warmer climate.
I'm thinking air horns....

Is it just me or is this game winnable?
Based on how this board reacts to everything, we'll somehow get screwed by the refs and/or the announcers will be pro-Mississippi State.
Didgeridoos, nice!
PVC, a little beeswax…and some
orange spray-paint…we could mass
DIY them babies…except no one
would be able to play ‘em. Lol
It's winnable straight up, but we also have no idea who's playing for either team.
Gotta sync the radio man. Barnhart and O'Donnell are the way to go!
That's what I've started doing this season (or at least get it as close to synced as I can).
The latter part of my comment was more reaction to commentators for recent Illini games that people on this board have had.
Got my tickets today. Lower bowl and close enough to the beer stand!
pssh, it's only a 31 hour drive from Sedona to Tampa.Man, I'm driving back from Sedona on 1/2, because when I booked that trip there's no way in hell I thought we'd be in a bowl at that time.

he’s great for the game . just like Ditka was for the NFL . Leach is unconventional , and finds a way to win and go to bowl games everywhere he goes .

I have a December birthday. I told my wife Illinois will be playing in the Reliaquest Bowl in Tampa on January 2.
When I woke up from my Sunday nap, she told me she had booked a flight and bought tickets to the game, and then wished me a "Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas."
I think I might be one of the lucky ones.

I don’t think there’s a grand conspiracy against Illinois athletics but had 2-3 calls gone differently this year (TD called back against Indiana, 4 PIs on 1 drive against PU, and the pick-play no call against Michigan), we’re looking at a totally different season.
Change just one of those and we’re likely in the B1G championship.

Anybody who teaches a football class on campus, runs one of their students plays in game, and is funny as hell on the mic, will be forever appreciated by me.
i understand why kids sit out of bowl games, but it just kinda stinks to have all this hope as a fan to get to a bowl game and then for some to sit out. Again, I understand it, but kind of a bummer as a fan.
I have no info at all, just complaining on a Monday morning.
