I'm super disappointed in Ole Miss and Arizona. They should fire their coaches. Arizona played virtually at home. Disgusting game.
You see it again and again, the angry teams win the bowl games.

One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.
--Albert Einstein
The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

If TCU deserved to be in, who is out? TCU did not deserve to be in at all. Partly because of their stupid 10 team conference (which TCU did not win until they changed the rules towards the end of the season) and partly because their OOC schedule sucked.
FSU - undefeated.
Alabama/Oregon - SOS much harder, conference champs.
Ohio St. - only loss because they lost their Heisman QB. SOS similar, but Ohio St played and won a conference title game.
TCU - loss not due to injury, weak SOS, no Conf championship game.
Nice, Arizona. You've disgraced us, after your conference was looking invincible.

That was great. I'll never understand Ute fans who hate Boise. I have loved them ever since the Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl. Arizona is 10 times more hateable.
And if I'm an Arizona recruit, I'm super pumped to get chewed out by RichRod every single time I come off the field. Yipee.

Mannnn...Baylor's offense sure is fun. They just scored a TD throwing to an o lineman.
Baylor receivers can also catch.
sigh......
Boise is 3-0 in the fiesta, and they were all great games full of drama. We need the fiesta to sign a special deal to bring the Broncos in every year.

MSU had 552 total yards and 29 first downs. Imagine how pissed Utah fans would be if the team gave up those numbers to a Big Ten team (other than Ohio State).

I wonder if FSU has seen anything like Oregon's athleticism this season.

Rose Bowl is going to be good. Both teams have shown up to play.

Ducks end first half w sloppy play. Marriotta w a very uncharacteristic pick.
And this is where Winston shines - pressure offense situations.
I think we need to drastically improve our marching band. Florida State's band is putting on a pretty amazing Rose Bowl halftime show. I'd like to see us get ours up to that level.
I didn't see it but I agree re: our band. Also do something different w the band uniforms. Oregon just wears sweats. Not that casual but also not the weird military look that we and everyone else has. I don't have any suggestions. No. But I would think we have some design students who could put something very cool together.
I'm kind of embarrassed for FSU's players -- about half of them -- who went straight to the locker room after the game.

So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.
