[QUOTE="MaineIllini, post: 1938918, member: 746032"] All-American Bowl was fun against Florida, wish Illini could have worn blue jerseys vs Florida in their orange. Several future NFL players in that game including Emmitt Smith. Stadium in Montgomery was a dump. Citrus Bowl in Orlando- somehow we got seats amongst a big pack of UVA fans and they were by far the most obnoxious fans I have ever seen, without question. Even their band was obnoxious- goofy Stanford style, no uniforms, mocking the opponent. Great win but they took the fun out of it. Hall of Fame Bowl in Tampa - it was over early, we were no match for Clemson. One of those days when one side of your face gets sunburned. Got sick of that Clemson band playing Tiger Rag after every play. MicronPC.com Bowl in Miami - an absolute blast, seeing us smear UVA again. It’s the stadium where the Dolphins play, and it’s first rate. Rose Bowl vs USC — trip of a lifetime. If you ever have a chance to go, go. And go to the parade- it’s wonderful. The stadium tunnels are too small and the restrooms are too few but it doesn’t matter. 1981 we went to Purdue and got into the PU student section. Tony Eason got us out to a 20-0 lead and we were whooping it up, not making any friends. Turned out Purdue won 44-20 and we took a lot of heat. In more recent times we went to road games at Syracuse and UConn. College football just isn’t the same in the northeast. Illini won those games but it’s not a great fan experience in my opinion. Carrier Dome feels weird with the diffused light coming through the dome. [/QUOTE]
