Texas Bowl Cheerleader Preview -- Illinois v. Baylor

Baylor is playing in its first bowl game since 1994 tonight. Sure it's just the Texas Bowl, but it's a bowl game just the same. That's an awfully long time to go without bowling, so you know the folks in Waco are going to showout for this game.

Illinois had a surprisingly good season until they lost to Minnesota and Fresno State (yeah, I know they are a bowl team but still) to end their season 1-2. Those 2 additional wins would have made the Illini 8-4 on the season which would be a big turnaround from the last couple of years for the good people of Champaign.

University of Illinois Cheerleaders

Is Juice Williams still the QB at Illinois? I feel like that guy's been there for like 9 years already, so it wouldn't surprise me if was still there. Too bad that guy never really panned out like everyone thought he would. The Illini cheerleaders really could have used something to cheer about over the last few years.

Illinois Cheerleaders Got Snubbed

I think most people thought Illinois had played themselves into the NCAA tournament by beating Wisconsin a couple of days ago. The NCAA Tournament Committee, however, disagreed. And since only their opinion matters, the Illini are on the outside looking in. Tough break ladies, I would have enjoyed seeing you on the sidelines for at least one game.
