The images from the blimp make it look like a mostly Wisconsin crowd. None of the Oregon fans I know went to the game. They're all too busy hugging trees and eating granola.

NCAA Bowl Season 2011

The Wisconsin coach needs to be fired. Even a dummy like me knows better than to call a spike with two clicks on the clock. Too bad he burned up those timeouts in the third.

Rose Bowl was fantastic!
Oregon wins for the first time since 1917 (and I'll note THAT my alma mater Washington State U won the previous game in 1916).
Yup...the really interesting part was that the end was nearly a replay of the 1998 Rose Bowl, in which WSU was on Michigan's 26 and spiked the ball with 2 seconds of time left - just as Wisconsin did today. In both cases, time ran out before the whistle stopping the clock. If they hadn't declared time had ended today, I would have been officially pissed.
Congrats to Wisconsin on a great season and a solid game.
Congrats to the Ducks on their first Rose Bowl win since 1917, and I cheerfully look forward to beating their butts next year.

Now I gotta get a fresh beer to see the Stanford - OK State game. Again, I have friends at both institutions, but I gotta root for the PAC-12 team.

Here we go. I'm not sold on this Luck guy, so here is his chance to impress me.
That's cool showing the Stanford coach chewing on his fingernails.

Luck should be playing for the Colts next year - since they lost again yesterday, they have the #1 pick. I'm also interested in seeing him - all I've seen is clips this year.
Stanford is the anti-Oregon. Methodical and patient...then they bomb you with a deep throw! Stanford 7, OK State 0.
EDIT: Make that 14-0 with a 4.5 minute drive. OK State hasn't gotten anything going yet.
EDIT 2: Bingo! I step out for a beer, OK State scores.

Yep but MSU was in UGA's backfield all game. Their defense was one of the best in collage football all season. And their defense speed matched up well. Offensively they seemed to be out physical UGA down the stretch. Boykins is certainly impressive but I don't know if his lack of size translates well at the next level.

Oregon should have been sent home without any supper for those metallic disco-from-hell uniforms.. and the Oregon band.... W-T-F??? Salvation army thrift store jogging suits and baseball caps?? Easily the ugliest band and football team of the bowl season.
There's definitely a more conventional, methodical pace to the Fiesta Bowl...mostly because of Stanford's pacing.
I sense you don't watch a lot of PAC-12 football. I'm sure Phil Knight of Nike (the checkbook behind those outfits) would like to hear about it.
Actually, those Duck unis are some of the more tasteful ones they've worn this year. (Shudder...)
Congrats to OK State.. ..I did not think they could do that! Stanford missed that critical field goal...and OK State made them pay.
Great game, but Stanford's defensive coordinator should be fired. I can't believe how many times Blackmon was single-covered, he's half their offense. The 4th-and-4 was especially stupid--you have a chance to close it out, OK State has no running game, and you leave Blackmon out on the edge with a converted receiver on him? Fail.
As for OK State, they have an incredible passing game, but not much else. They gave up 590 yards to Stanford--not a statement game for the BCS, if you ask me.

+1 to all of this. LSU would have completely shut down OK St.s offense, and would have had their way with their defense.
It does make you realize just how few good coaches are out there.
