Yes, the FIGHTING ILLINI did clinch the BCS bowl birth by winning the Big Ten outright. Of course it is just our luck that the year we win the Big Ten, WE CAN'T GO TO THE ROSE BOWL!!! What a bunch of crap, poop, crap!

Also, any Big Ten historians out there? When was the last time a school won the conference in basketball and football?

How about giving the Buckeyes some credit?

Beating Michigan AT Ann Arbor clinched it for you.
