must be Illini fans...they haven't been here in a LONG time.
Yeah, you're confusing fan loyalty/interest with general cfb interest.
USC fans will attend the game to support the Trojans. The Illini fans will do the same, particularly since they haven't been to the Rose Bowl in forever. However, any one who thinks a #7USC-#13Illinois matchup will garner the same tv ratings and national interest as USC-Georgia or West Virginia or even Mizzou (#6 BCS), needs to put down the pipe.
