Message: [QUOTE="j66kicker, post: 2812664, member: 4447"] Well, it was only 48-20, but you're right - UConn didn't belong there. I live in Phoenix and was at that game. Oklahoma (my alma mater) was finishing up an 11-2 season (disappointing for them), had just given Nebraska one last butt kicking in the Big 12 conference championship game - the Cornhuskers' last Big 12 game before leaving for the B1G. They at least deserved to play a serious football team in their bowl game. UConn's rabid fan base didn't even buy up their ticket allotment. I bought my ticket below face value from a "scalper" outside the stadium. Actually most bowl games are like that - the easiest ticket in town. But that's because there are too many bowl games with bad teams - shouldn't have been the case for a major New Year's Day BCS (at the time) bowl game. It was a joke. [/QUOTE]
