Gameday Experience Episode 12: Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl UCLA vs Illinois 12/31/11

Created on December 31, 2011 using FlipShare. My view from the game. It was a very close, defensive game. Illinois was able to defeat the Bruins in the Kraft Fight hunger Bowl on a sunny New Years Eve in San Francisco. While not the biggest bowl matchup of the season, it was still fun to go to. And, I've also never seen the Heisman Trophy, so that was a nice bonus :) Music in the beginning was Click Click Boom by Saliva.

i actually ended up going to the fiesta bowl but i didnt have a camera. it was one heck of a game and im kicking myself for not going out and buying a camera to record it with. the energy in the building was just over the top.

@efrainthegreat That's awesome that you got to go to that, even without the camera. It was also cool how half of the stadium was red and half was orange. You also got to see Luck's final game at Stanford, so that's pretty cool. I feel really bad for Williamson the kicker, that's got to be a tough pill to swallow for him.

@SanJoseSharksFan1991 all of it was an amazing experience. i am so lucky to have gotten to go to a bowl game as prestigious as the fiesta bowl. and even though stanford did end up losing, Andrew Luck had one hell of a final game. We easily could have beaten okie state had it not been for our kicker. i feel bad for the kid, i'm pretty sure he's only a freshman so he's gotta be feeling a lot of emotions about that game.

@efrainthegreat Luck certainly went out with a bang. The Colts are probably licking their chops right about now. the kicker will be alright tho,he'll have plenty of more kicks. I think he'll make a few game winners in the future. At all the Stanford games this year, he only missed 2 kicks, one against Oregon and the other against I think UW. He's still a solid kicker and he'll definately make up for this game next season.

@SanJoseSharksFan1991 let's hope so. it's just a bummer that stanford got that close to a victory only to lose because of a young guys nerves. i feel bad for him but it's his job. i think cardinal fans will be expecting a lot from him next year.
