I'm not sure if you are allowed New Year wishes, but just in case, I'm recording mine as a Rose Bowl victory for the Illini tomorrow! It worked on my birthday, so it's worth a shot again. I got several Rose Bowl items for Christmas, so I hope we win (or are at least respectable) so they don't have to be relegated to the back of the closet for a long period of time. The signs aren't looking great for the Illini. The oddsmakers have them as a two touchdown underdog, the Big Ten hasn't fared great in the bowl games so far, and the basketball fiasco on Sunday doesn't give me a lot of confidence either. It's been a great season and one more win would make it perfect. Go Illini!
UPDATE: Apparently there is no such thing as New Year wishes, at least not for me. This is exactly what I feared the most. Glad we got there, but wish the outcome was different. I know we could have played better, but USC was great. Still looking forward to next year!

Do yourself a favor and learn from my experience with the Hoosiers last night. If Illinois scores first, declare it a victory and turn the channel!
Good luck to the Illini today. You know, of course, on January 13th it will be a different story!
Guess the wish thing didn't work! Sorry it was such a bummer for you. I had Adam yelling "Go Orange" but it must not have helped.
On to basketball now for our respective schools!
