[QUOTE="Illinir1, post: 1985358, member: 4270"] We attended our Reliaquest Bowl in Tampa last January and, while we were thrilled to be in a January 2nd bowl game, we felt cheated that the team on the field wasn't the same as the one we supported in Champaign all year. While players sitting out bowl games has been happening for the past few years, it was our first experience going through that with Illinois Football (due unfortunately to our lack of bowl games during the time period). I definitely would/will have a decision to make about attending any near future Illinois Football bowl games. Any future bowl trips could only be undertaken with the mindset of a) it's just an exhibition game b) I'm going to support the rest of the team. And weigh a bowl trip value decision against "I could take a better/longer vacation at the same, or lower, cost". [/QUOTE]
