I had a problem watching the game because it was on ESPN. The cable company I had, had a problem with it broadcasting the game. I watch the game with a very snowy broadcast TV.

Will never forget his quote after the game. He was asked about being carried off the field after the game. He replied, "I should have carried each player off the field but I'm too old and weak and it would have taken too long".

That defense was laying the lumber all night!!! Illini QB Tony Eason spent A LOT of time on his back!!

Pretty sure the video they show pre-game is Jerimiah Castille knocking the ball loose from a receiver in that game. He laid the wood in that one.

Bamas first bowl game under BEAR was Liberty Bowl
