    Yes as do I but the fact Rive is invited to a bowl game at 5-7 is kinda proving there are too many of them. The post season is supposed to be a reward for a great season. In all honesty except family and a couple thousand fans who wants to see this?

    This would be awesome! I hope this prediction is correct
    In state is way better for recruiting. We don’t generally recruit the west so playing in Las Vegas as opposed to in state doesn’t help much with recruiting in my opinion.

    The loss to Vandy changed things.
    ReliaQuest Bowl has better options.

    Jan. 2

    ReliaQuest Bowl
    Raymond James Stadium (Tampa)
    Noon, ESPN2 and the ESPN App

    Bonagura: Illinois vs. Arkansas
    Schlabach: Illinois vs. Ole Miss

    Unfortunately, I have to agree with ThePlayer. I don’t see the ReliaQuest Bowl taking us with a 6-6 record.

    I’m hoping for Vegas but I’m just being selfish.

    I hope it's not Vegas, almost no extra practice time. Hoping for Gator Bowl or later.

    Other than trying to get over injuries, is a little extra practice going to make that much of a difference at this point? Now, it would make a huge difference if certain key players opt out.

    This bowl game is not going to help recruiting in any way. All it’s for are the practices

    Probably not… unless their goal is to sell tickets to the game then they know who to call

    Since we're talking about an extra week or more of practice, I'd be interested to know how our coaches would answer that question.

    Always looked forward to bowl season. I guess I got old and don’t care. A zillion meaningless bowls with the best players opting out. I find it more perplexing that their is actually revenue to justify them.

    The teams have been practicing since August. Does a few extra days of practice really make that much difference?

    I think there’s so many bowls that the bowl seasons have lost some significance. When I was a kid, the bowls were a big thing, no matter which one you went to. On the other hand, I can always choose to not watch, and why do I care if someone else wants to watch and other people decide it’s economically viable to put the game on?
