especially pitiful considering they were supposed national championship favorites at the start of the season. but then again they did the same thing against michigan last year, so its not suprising. lose a few games in the regular season, win a meaningless bowl game, act like your king of the world yes, the Rose Bowl is quite meaningless. it's just a little less meaningless than the cotton bowl, though. You know you don't deserve to be in this game so just get over yourself. Plus, I'd rather win the Cotton Bowl than get completely embarrassed in the Rose Bowl. See you in St. Louis. for which game, the game where the illini blow out a daniel-less tiger team or the annual braggin rights loss? Why are we Daniel-Less? And we're talking basketball now? Interesting turn of events.
