I enjoyed the hell out of the Cheez-It Bowl last year. Wife and I laughed for most of the second half . The announcer just dead panning the comment about Justin Rogers lacking a functioning foot was comedy gold.
Right, there was a noticeable improvement in the team from last year to this year- those 14 practices gearing up for the vaunted Cal defense were really monumental.
All I'm saying is in July when we are gearing up for another year, don't tell me we will be improved because of 10-15 practices 6 months prior against a team we won't play again for 10 years.
Not sure how anyone viewed last year's bowl as a positive for the university. It was hands down the worst played game of the bowl season, our QB's stat line was a running joke for weeks, and we were getting laughed at by the entire nation. We then inserted a QB with a drop foot injury who clearly was nowhere near medically ready to play in the game for a single snap, for God only knows what reason.
The highlight was when an athletic department employee almost cost us the game and was literally rolling onto the field during a live play. Bet recruits were foaming at the mouth to get to Cowtown after seeing that.
