Tough loss in the Sugar Bowl Domer.
I must say that I was cheering for LSU, as I generally do for all SEC teams. Speaking of which, congratulations Bt on a hell of a come back by the Bulldogs. I don't know what it was, but I saw it in them and kept watching the game (maybe it was last years near miss). That was a nice ending to a tough season. Next year looks good with though as your young QB seems to be improving.
Unfortunately my Vols just looked awful against the Nittany Lions. One fumble pretty much changed the entire pace of the game, but really our offense just wasn't hitting on all cylinders. I don't know what Fulmer's problem is with getting the team ready for bowl games. Ever since the national title we've only shined in the game against Michigan. All the others have been bitter disappointments.
The only SEC team I won't cheer for will be the Gators. If you've ever been to Ben Hill Griffith you'll know why! I hope the Buckeyes roll all over them. A quick congratulations to UK and Louisville fans, but Wake fans as well. I really enjoyed the Orange Bowl and seeing two unlikely programs playing on the national stage.
My complaint for this bowl season is that Fox got the BCS bowls. Their announcers are horrible. Bradshaw and Long might be good for the NFL, but I'd much rather hear Curry, Herbstreit, Lundquist, Blackledge, McDonough or one of the other well known college announcers (but please not Musberger!). Announcers are important in college football and Bradshaw and Long are crap as are some of the other Fox crew.
