Just finished driving back from Pasadena, and while I'm not dissappointed (as an 'SC student), the mood at the game certainly seemed rather glum. SC went into the game, for the most part, expecting a blowout, and the inept plays by Leinart (so much for the Heisman) and most of the offensive line pretty much destroyed that. Sure, a victory is a victory... but the game felt more like an extended practice with some unexpected setbacks than a game deserving interest.
Still, I should be able to sell my orange bowl tickets for some decent cash
I think we should have some great bowl matchups. Unless the polsters are complete morons, Cal should be good for the Rose with Michigan. That will be my New Year's Day bowl to watch. USC/OK should be a good matchup, too. Lot's of Heisman hopefuls and some good offense. The Fiesta will be a waste (too bad for Utah), but I'll watch it anyway, just to root for them. As for Auburn/VT...not a bad matchup. But, of course, the Liberty Bowl is the one to watch for me.
