Ok, I'm gonna _TRY_ to give some comments on the bowl games this year. I must
admit though, the whole day was a blur to me due to a forgettable New Year's
celelbration (actully, I just can't remember what happened). I was ok for the
first few games, but as the day when on, things got hazy.

Gator Bowl: This game was on the 31st. I watched some of the game out of mild
            interest. I couldn't see how the hell anyone on the field got
            anything done, especially in the passing game, with all the damn
            fog. Florida was pretty good troughout the game. NC State showed
            they have a god team, and a good coach, but that there is a very
            evident disparity in talent when compared to UF. The white uni's 
            in the fog probably didn't help any...I had a hard time seeing
            thier players.

Cotton Bowl: Today's word is _OVER-RATED_. Can you say that? I knew you could.
             Let's use today's word in a sentance. Texas A&M is severely
             (today's word)! Very good, I knew you could do it. I almost died
             laughing as I watched this game. If it weren't for some fumbles
             by Brooks, this game would have been _REALLY_ ugly. TAMU's 
             offense crumbled under real defensive pressure, and thier offense
             was almost completely inept against a ND defense that is not one
             of thier better squads. Made the Orange Bowl seem like it was a
             good deal for FSU.

Citrus Bowl: Surprisingly good showing for Ohio State, even though they could
             not stop Georgia's running game. If I hadn't had so much fun
             watching ND waste TAMU, I would have watched more of this game.

Fiesta Bowl: A pretty sloppy game at times, possibly due to the horrible field
             conditions. But it was a pretty entertaining show none the less.
             Colorado was not in sinc with its passing game, and this lead to
             thier loss. Syracuse was very effective on offense, but were not
             playing as tight on defense as they should have been. Syracuse
             did get it done though.

Rose Bowl: What's the matter Mo, no tie? I kept switching back to this one 
           from the Fiesta, hoping for a tie...that would have been fun. I
           was _not_ impressed by Washington's defense, or Michigan's defense
           for that matter. I don't really know how much the Udub scandals
           hurt the team, but it really doesn't matter.

Orange Bowl: Ok, by this time things were really foggy for me. I stuck to this
             game because the die-hard Noles I was with didn't wanna watch
             anything else. Nebraska had no business being in the stadium in
             this game. Nebraska was helped by two really amazing cathces by
             thier MVP reciever (dont remember the name...dont remember much).
             I was kinda pissed that Bowden called off the dogs in the second
             half, stepping back into the old I-back formation and running the
             ball all the time. I kinda wanted to see FSU pound Nebraska into
             the turf...maybe that will convince Dr. Tom to learn the concept
             of the forward pass. The rain was attrocious in this game, and
             the stands were damn near empty. Pretty much a loser of a game.

Sugar Bowl: I wish I could have seen this, but oh well. By the score I am safe
            in saying that it was a pounding by 'Bama. Crimson Tide 1992 
            National Champs...'nuff said.

       where he really belongs)
