Fiesta Bowl Ticket Update - Going to Glendale !

jimjar — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 21:25:12 -0000

Well, the Longhorn ticket office did not live up to their promise from last week. Monday came and went with no email from them telling me if I had been selected to get the Fiesta Bowl tickets that I requested.

But today - I have an email from them containing a Fedex tracking number! Maybe they are sending me the 'fan of the year' award, but my guess is Fiesta Bowl tickets. We are going to Glendale !! Time to get psyched up for te Buckeyes !

Fiesta Bowl Ticket Notification Next Monday

In case anybody else is wondering what is going on - I placed a 'request' with the Texas ticket office last week for Fiesta Bowl tickets and hadn't heard anything. So I emailed them today and asked them what is going on.

They got back to me quickly and said that email notifications will go out next Monday (Dec 15) and I will find out if I am getting tickets or if I have to turn to eBay.

The heck with the uninformed Big12 internal version. Colt gets the AP nod.

Pat Forde on Cowherd - 45-35

Forde had 30 seconds on Cowherd's program this morning. He said (paraphrasing the best I can remember) that after last week's OU - TT game he was very impressed by OU and thought that OU should be the leader. (Didn't say if he had a vote). But that since then he has thought about it more rationally and has decided that, in the end, the Texas 45-35 victory on the neutral field has to be the deciding factor.

The REAL reason OU shouldn't be rated over Texas

I suspect all of the Pollsters will look at the facts before long and consider the BCS bowl history. They will soon come to realize that sending OU to a BCS bowl will just be a wasted vote, since OU is just going to lose it, no matter who they match up against. Who wants to watch a game that is already pre-determined ?

As a refresher - OU last five bowls, by season:

2007 Fiesta Bowl (BCS) Lost to WV !!

2006 Fiesta Bowl (BCS) Lost to Boise State !!

2005 Holiday Bowl (not-BCS) Won Oregon

2004 Orange Bowl (BCS) Lost USC

2003 Sugar Bowl (BCS) Lost LSU

Is anybody detecting a pattern here ?
