I doubt they have any "Look who just turned 40" photos in there.

either way the two inches worth of articles amount to about two inches worth of paper. only thing worthwhile in that paper are the AP reports, because they're journalists had nothing to do w/ those

That being said, if the bowl game is within a reasonable distance and I have the funds I try to make it to the bowl game even if I am unhappy with where they are playing.

I was not addressing if I felt good about the outcome of the game. Only said my family and I had a good time. Winning is not the only reason you support anyone. If you are truly family you do that regardless. Now was I down because we got spanked, you dang right I was, but I was there to support the VOLS win or lose. His earlier comment that he had no desire to go to any of the bowls we had a shot at is what the thread was about.

Now to you, you say “If I am a real fan as I claim”. Let me address that.

Real as defined is: True; existing; actual; genuine; existing.
Fan as defined: is short for fanatical, meaning Motivated or cartelized by an extreme, uncritical enthusiasm.

So now knowing that I can answer yes to all of the above. So do I call my self a fan? I KNOW I AM

Here we go hat, I've found a good list of BCS participants and will list all at-large teams with 2 losses:

1998 Florida 9-2 (Orange)
1999 Tennessee 9-2 (Fiesta)
1999 Michigan 9-2 (Orange)
2000 Notre Dame 9-2 (Fiesta)
2001 Florida 9-2 (Orange)
2002 USC 10-2 (Orange)
2003 Ohio State 10-2 (Fiesta)
2005 Ohio State 10-2 (Fiesta)
2005 Notre Dame 10-2 (Fiesta)

Most people need to remember, there are other factors involved than which team is best when the Fiesta and Orange are selecting these 2-loss teams. In 1998, Kansas State finished 11-1 and was left out of the BCS.

The Big Ten Conference has placed the most teams (13) in BCS bowls. The Big 12 and Southeastern conferences each has had 11 teams in BCS bowls. In five of the eight seasons of the BCS, the Big Ten has had a team selected as an at-large team.

Florida State has played in a BCS bowl six times in eight seasons. Oklahoma, USC, and Miami, each with four BCS bowls, are second on the list.

in his predictions, the big east doesn't go to a specific bowl, such as how the SEC goes to the Sugar, ACC to Orange, etc. is this correct? Is the big east champion just guaranteed a BCS game, but not a specific one?
