I think we at ASU have a good right to worry about our investment. I wonder
why Colorado feels they have a right to bring their buffalo here when they
don't take it to other away games. Florida State has played in numerous Fiesta
Bowls and has never brought its horse or made a stink about it.

If the Buffs need their buff, maybe they are less of a football team than they
are cracked up to be.

      I highly doubt that JoePa's eyes will be opened to a good quarterback!
In Powlus, he probably sees linebacker!  Remember that Joe is the one who
recruited Jim Kelly as a linebacker, Major Harris and Don McPherson as safeties
and has let Joe Montana, Dan Marino, etc get away from right under his nose.
The man doesn't know quarterbacks (quick, someone other then a Penn Stater name
five PSU starting qb's).

Well, before I zip out of here for an all night poker game, let me
let out one big cheer for the Cougs, who capped off a great season
with a Copper Bowl Victory just seconds ago.

After falling behind 21-0 in the first quarter, the Utes definitely
did not give up, as they dominated most of the rest of the contest
to eventually tie the Cougs at 28-28.  A 4th quarter Aaron Price FG
was the difference.  The Utes certainly deserve credit, and this was
certainly much closer than I would have liked it, but we know what 
they call a win by 3 points... a win.

Way to go Cougs!  Super season!

Summary: Unofficial winner

Chris probably won't post the final results for a day or two, but I wanted
to be the first to congratulate Russ Pierce as the winner of this year's pool.  
Second place going into the bowls, Russ went 7-1 on New Year's Day to move 
into first place.  Second place goes to Paul Kreuger, only 10 points behind 
Russ.  Third place was only 25 points behind, with a large gap separating 
third and fourth place.  

[Of course, this is all unofficial until Chris posts the final results.]

I watched this game and found it to be fairly interesting. I'm glad that
Kansas was able to pull it out in the end though. The biggest thing that comes
to mind to me about the game is the incredible ineptness of _BOTH_ team's
defensive backs to cover the pass. Niether team's DB's botheres looking back 
for the ball, or making an effort to jump up when the ball got there. I can't
tell you how many times i wanted to just scream at those guys. Kansas is lucky
they don't play too many teams with high-powered passing offenses, or they
would get clobbered. BYU...well, um....they shoulda been able to throw all day
on Kansas (well..ok they did) and been able to run up the points. BYU also for
some unknown reason borrowed one of FSU's kickers...big mistake.

I wouldn't call Vinny a washout.  Vinny is still a starter in the NFL, and
makes lots of big $$$.   Archie Manning was one of the best QB's in his
time, but got stuck on a bad team in his day.  Tampa Bay Bucks has a 
problem in team management.  Even the best QB can't win the game by himself,
but he sure can lose one quick.  Any QB that has started in the NFL for
any team more than three years is not a washout.  How many years did
Heisman Steve Spurrer start in the NFL.  How many Gators QB ever played
a full season in the NFL. 

BTW, Gino is not going to keep the Heisman.  This years Hurricanes that get
NFL checks are going to buy a glass trophy case and put Gino's Heisman in
the Hurricane Locker room for all the future Canes to gain strength from.
Clemson got a rock to rub, Florida got a fiberglas Gator head to rub.
Now the Canes will have a Heisman in the locker room, to make them play
their best.  The strong grow stornger.

Safety, as usual, is just an excuse.

The real reason they're worried about it is that they just spent a Ton of 
Money to put in one of those high tech, heated/refrigerated, drained/
irrigated fields (Precision Athletic Turf, is it called?), and they don't 
want their investment damaged.

Has Ralphie ever tromped over one of those kinds of fields?  Are his hooves 
really any tougher on the grass than 3 hours of cleats and facemasks 
churning up the turf?  For my money, if the PAT designers didn't consider 
such things as the presence of livestock when they designed their system, 
then it's worth less than the dirt it replaces.

As a "Fighting Frenchman" alumnae, I want to disatance myself as far from
the orginal woofing as possible.  I _do_ think we'll win the Cotton Bowl,
and I think Mirer was underrated at the end of the season.  Unfortunately,
I don't think ND was the best football team this year--that honor belongs

  Tom Young is the #4 quarterback on the BYU depth chart.  That hardly
  qualifies him for "wonder-boy" status.  I'm guessing from your post that you
  didn't know that the Aloha Bowl was Young's first start.  Actually, it was
  the first time that he had taken more than a few snaps in any game. His
  performance certainly won't hurt his chances, but in order to follow in his
  brother's (Oldest brother - he had another brother -Mike- who also played at
  BYU, but never amounted to much) footsteps, he will have to beat out the
  three wonder-boy heroes ahead of him.

Well, I have been fighting for some respect for the PAC-10 all year, but I
haven't once advanced the argument that they deserve it because of last year's
bowl performances.  My argument was based on their outstanding non-conference
record and strength of schedule in those games (they finished something like
22-8).  Obviously, their poor performance in the bowls has hurt that record
some, but why do we have to throw out everything they did during the regular
season?  The WAC had a better record in the bowls (2-3 I think), but does
this mean that the WAC was a better conference than the PAC-10 this year?  The
SEC does deserve credit though for its impressive 5-0 (at the time of this
writing) bowl record so far, giving them a strong claim to the number one
conference.  But if you're talking about which was the best conference this
*year*, I don't think you can throw out the whole regular season just to 
eliminate the PAC-10.
