Well, bowl selections have more to do with the wicked secret combination currently known as the BCS than with the quality of individual program. Now if OU or any other school can win a national championship at the Holiday Bowl, then I'll be impressed! Ha!

It's the best BYU has ever done :) See, the interesting thing about that, Geoff, is that the Holiday Bowl is our rebuilding year.

(Anyone have the scoop on this? Don?) Well D-Train, your football team looks a lot like Duke’s football team this year so perhaps your basketball team will as well… (hehe)
