12 games next year so 6-6, which would be good enough to be bowl eligible in the FBS .Sounds like a fantastic 6-5 season. I love kicking cans though so there's that

To a bowl nobody has ever heard of. Off topic but they need to change that. If you aren't 8-4 you shouldn't be in a bowl game. 7-5 no. Sometimes 5-7 teams make it12 games next year so 6-6, which would be good enough to be bowl eligible in the FBS .
I have some Illini friends that were excited they won last week because they could still make a bowl. I'm like why? It's all about the $$$$$. That $50+ million they get for existing in the Big WeCantCount isn't enough.
I think this is exactly why they like the bowl game because a trip at 6-6 to the Poulan Weed-Eater Independence Bowl validates a good season because the season is continuing. Which is why I like FCS football bc we may be 7-4, miss out on the playoffs and people are upset.I don't think your Illini friends care about the money or payout from a potential bowl game. The majority of bowl games lose money for the teams involved. Not knowing your Illini Friends, I think they might be excited because a bowl game somehow validates a "Good Season" to them. Even at 6-6 they probably see that as on the right track. Right or wrong.

Haha! I hope it does. Like Illinois fans want to see an extra game or NIU fans hope they snatch up one of the mediocre MAC bowl bids with one more win, I just want to see my damn team play.
I agree I do want to see ISU play every weekend if I can I just think if we finish 7-4 w/o a playoff bid then the season isn't doom and gloom like other people think. If Illinois and NIU fans are happy with a .500 season and a bowl game then great for them. The reason I like FCS football is we could be 7-4 with 3 losses by 7 points total and we can't get that playoff bid. Doesn't mean our season wasn't bad, just means that we fell short of what the selection committee thought was a playoff resume.Haha! I hope it does.
