I was really impressed by the crowd. Baylor showed up and considering the distance, Illinois fans did their part. I was actually hoping to pick up a ticket for this game in the days leading up to it on a second-hand site like StubHub thinking that Illinois may not travel well and those that bought early might be looking to sell, but for the most part, the cheapest available tickets were $45. That let me know that it was going to be a good crowd.
Wow. This Music City Bowl has been the most bizarre and yet exciting game I've seen in quite some time. Tennessee scores a late touchdown, UNC drives down the field with less than a minute to go aided by a boneheaded personal foul penalty by Tennessee's Janzen Jackson, UNC manages the clock terribly to end regulation, gets bailed out by a booth review, sends it into OT, and now the teams have traded touchdowns in overtime.
Are you telling me the tarp of shame didn't make an appearance at the bowl game? Hide your wives hide your kids big 12-2, Baylor has arrived.

As big of a Bama as I am... ...I'm not really interested in this game.....at all. Who gives a **** if we beat Michigan St.? I would rather lose in a first round playoff game than win this meaningless game. **** the BCS. **** it.
So much for Big 10 being 2-0 or whatever it is. Also, not a good day in the state of Michigan. Alabama rolling 49-0 over Michigan St. Mississippi St. rolling over Michigan 45-14
