Fiesta Bowl

By far the most entertaining thing to come out of this year's Fiesta Bowl - even more entertaining than seeing Oklahoma get waxed on national tv, was seeing the shot of the West Virginia bench with Johnny Dingle sitting next to Scooter Berry. The camera man who spotted that deserves a big bonus. That was some good clean comedy right there.

Other than that, the game wasn't too exciting in the second half. I don't like Oklahoma, and I've disliked them for so long that I don't even remember why I don't like them anymore, but you can only watch a team being manhandled for so long before it starts getting boring.

It was still many times more interesting than Hawaii getting crushed in the Sugar Bowl, but they had it coming. They had no business being in that game with as soft a schedule as they played. I hope that the Bowl bigwigs learn from that mistake and don't let teams play in big bowls without playing at least one good team all year.
