In all seriousness, congrats to U of M for what was in my decidedly bias opinion, the BEST game of the early BCS Bowls.
Shame either team had to lose that one, but U of M has nothing but good things to look forward to.
Congrats again on a GREAT national showing
I've had an entertaining week watching college football... I live in the Shenandoah Valley, about an hour and a half from Charlottesville, so I have come to be a fan of the Virginia Cavaliers... they played on the 27th, and lost in a tough, entertaining game...
Then, on the 29th, we had my UTEP Miners in a bowl game, one of very few in their history (I went to UTEP for 2 years back in the very early 70s, majored in golf and minored in Juarez)... they also lost in a tough, entertaining game... but there wasn't much disappointment, it was just really great seeing them in a bowl game...
And then my beloved Horns, and their stirring win in the Rose Bowl...
IMO, the 3 best, most competitive bowl games this season involved 3 of my favorite teams...
Oh, and though I'm not a huge fan of them, James Madison University won the Division I-AA football championships, and they're located in Harrisonburg, just 20 minutes from my front door... naturally, there has been a lot of excitement in the Valley over that...
