38 to 37 UT wins Rose Bowl

What a game. I figured it was going to be a close game or Michigan was going to take the lead and not stop from what I had been hearing around here. I got home just in time to watch the game. I left a little early and drove faster than I normaly do. It didn't look good for Texas whan Cedric came limping off the field at the start of the game but he got back in there. Back and forth it went on the scoring. UT quarterback Vince Young came through again and he is only a Soph. Two seconds left in the game and Dusty Mangum kicks a field goal from the side of the field to put them ahead 38-37. I alway been a UT fan but it seems like I had not had much interest in them like I use too but now that my daughter goes to UT I think she has got me back into it. It was a good game I was setting on the edge of the chair yelling and the ole heart was a pumping.

There's been a lot of talk this week about how Auburn and Cal were spurned by the BCS.



But no one got shafted as much as UCLA.



Sure, Auburn went undefeated and got left out of the championship game.



Sure Cal's final ranking dropped the final week of the season despite winning on the road, while Texas did not play.



At least Auburn and Cal don't have to play the mighty football powerhouse that is Wyoming.



But because of the BCS leaving Cal out of the Rose Bowl, all of the other non-USC Pac-10 teams were moved down a bowl game.



And instead of a high-profile match-up against Notre Dame, UCLA was left a date with Wyoming in the Las Vegas Bowl.



Even though Notre Dame is having a down year, playing against them would have done wonders in terms of national exposure for UCLA. When Notre Dame plays any game, ratings go up, and more people around the country would have learned more about the Bruins.



But not many people will watch the UCLA-Wyoming Las Vegas Bowl.



There's a reason why Wyoming is the state with the lowest population, even lower than Alaska.



It's Wyoming.



The only thing the state of Wyoming has going for it is a couple of nice national parks. After that, well, they have ... this is hard ... well, a lot of open space. And you never have to worry about looking foolish in public because there is no public.



And because of the brilliant system that is the BCS, UCLA was robbed of getting the chance to play Notre Dame and will instead have to face a team from a state that just moved into the 20th century – barely. (Yes, I'm now aware I can never go back to Wyoming. How will I ever live?)



The rest of the article is irrevelent.



UCLA vs WYOMING - Las Vegas Bowl final score:



Wyoming: 24

UCLA: 21



Open mouth insert foot!! :-laf
