KNow how you feel. I still think the key to understanding the deal is the attitude of some of the players after they heard who they were going to play. You can try to overcome that, but it is difficult.
I think Southern Cal used the same excuse after their Sun Bowl loss.
But, I think everyone needs to get over this. Whatever the excuse, when you play football sometimes you just don't execute, the ball doesn't bounce your way, and for whatever reason crap just happens. That about sums up the Fiesta Bowl. So, screw it, let's move on as a team and as fans.
By the way, when we go back next year for the national championship, I recommend the overflow parking by the school. They bus you right to the front and there is very little waiting. All the Boise State fans seemed to know about it from their previous trip when they played OU.
