It sure seemed like he was citing Virginia Tech as a reason for why the Bowls are dropping AQs.  I thought the insinuation was that the Sugar Bowl was forced by the AQ rules to take a non-deserving team like the Fiesta Bowl had to take UConn last year.  But it rather shows that even when the Bowls can take anybody they want they still can screw it up just as bad.

The Sugar couldn't take anyone they wanted, because of the AQ tie-ins to the other bowls.

VT has a history of traveling well.  No one expected them to have problems selling tickets this year.  Everyone here blamed the failure to sell out last year on the fact that it was the third trip to Miami in four years.  It turns out that the fans are just bored with Beamer Ball.  They sold out during the season, though, so who knew?

Well obviously they couldn't take anybody but that was true even with the old Bowl System.  But they could invite anybody who was not already going to another BCS bowl.

Apparently Wyoming sold enough tickets to break even at the New Mexico Bowl.  Take that, VT!

Just think if Wyoming made a BCS bowl.  Almost the entire city of Laramie would have to go to sell out their alotment.

Speaking of Wyoming looking forward to the game this Saturday.

Wyoming has a lot of expats. When Wyoming is in the Big12 and starts dominating, all the UWyo alum that live the traitorous life in Colorado would buy bowl tickets!

Right now the "break even" point was 4100 tickets for the NM Bowl :)

Why are they suing him?  The QB he sacked played for Georgia Tech not Georgia.

Ready for the big game PDH?  I presume you are posting from your hotel room in New Mexico.

He used to be a little football player with heart, now he's a little con artist with heart... and a gatoraid rip off.

Who cares?  He is being sued by an SEC that doesn't even have one team in the "championship" game.

I am going to be following the game from afar, alas.  My father is sick, and I had to scramble and make plans to go to Cathedral City, California to see him.  Being 85 makes even "sick" a pretty bad thing.

An ROTC buddy of mine who went to Notre Dame & whose father is a big ND booster told me that Rudy is a freeloading loser.  So this isn't surprising.

Rudy was a pretty good movie, though.

Oh man I am sorry to hear that.  I hope it is nothing serious.

His nephew plays for the Arizona State baseball team so that automatically makes him scum in my eyes.
