Just ask the New England Patriots.

It is a beautiful stadium stadium, but I liked Sun Devil Stadium for the bowls. You're within walking distance Mill Ave and a college atmosphere. Moving to Glendale was mistake.

Is College Football's Greatest Ripoff still alive and well in Glendale?

For those whose team has never reached a BCS bowl, even though the standards have since been lowered, here's a tip: if you spend $20 for a ticket to the official NCAA-sponsored tailgate, you'll get a cup of baked beans and a sloppy joe, while walking around a large lot watching people play Toss Across.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.

IMO, this will be a good game through three quarters. Ohio State isn't nearly as bad as they're being made out to be.

Hell - almost every team has a "down" game during the year. Who's to say OSU didn't have theirs last week?

That is the tailgate for the lesser tier BCS matchup, generally reserved for non-BCS schools playing historically horrible opponents who don't deserve to be there, either.

For those whose team have never reached a championship BCS bowl game, you should go to all the events because they are really fun!

That was a meaningless bowl game that nobody but fans of lower-tier wannabes will ever remember. But hey, if it gives hope to the little guys.
