I can predict with reasonable certainty that I'll be there... hopefully in the vicinity of the 50 yard line.
Which one?
Hawaii. :-)
Not a bad way to spend Christmas eve. Luckily we'll also have a full slate of NFL games this year on that day as well.
it's going to be fun :)
Imagine how much fun today would be if there were a 16 team playoff and we were awaiting for the brackets to be announced!
Cyclones rule.
It may be the last hurrah for USC as they lose both Bush and Leinart to the NFL, but on January 4, they're going to spank the Longhorns and make them cry.
that would be great....
Boy, I bet the Liberty Bowl guys are kinda quesy about Fresno just now.
Why should the #3 (10-1) team have to play #22 (8-4)? Why not a higher-ranked team (like Oregon, also with only ONE loss)?
If it dont make dollars it dont make sense.....ND makes dollars
Well at least all the teams this year have a winning record..i think....Going to a bowl means nothing anymore..the mpc computer bowl..the san diego credit union bowl..the mienke bowl
PSU is playing FSU; PSU has the largest alumni body in the country -- this ain't about dollars, it's the 'luck of the draw' (who won which conference) -- and it SHOULD be based on rankings.
You know the answer. $$$$
