man you can hate all you want, but I thought that was fricken' awesome.
I've only been to Rome twice and I absolutely love it. One of my favorite places I have ever been. And if I could get a free trip I'd take it.
I thought that was really cool, and it's something those kids will remember forever. Michigan football is raking in $100+ million a year. They can shell out a $250-300k to take those kids to Rome for a spring practice. What's $300k of $100,000,000+? A few tenths of 1 percent?
Maybe schools should be doing more stuff like that for their student athletes and paying their coaches less money. But hey, that's just me.
That last part.. YES.

Rome was OK for me. I loved Firenze much more.

How come Harbs didn't bring a kicker home from Rome? That's what I was getting at. Ha!

The Canes are in for more pain.  Clemson didn't even do anything special last night offensively.  running for about 70 yards.

i lost all respect for the canes when the zebras straight up took the game away from virginia, gift wrapped it, and laid it at the canes feet.  i don't say that often, and because i think it's rare it actually happens- but that is precisely what happened in that game... otherwise, it was virginia by two possessions.

I think the last Orange Bowl down in Little Havana was 01, and it was bumped there due to an NFL playoff game at Joe Robbie?

The Orange Bowl wasn't torn down until fairly recently, when the Marlins ballpark wad built on the site.

This is true.  Miami won 3 of its 5 mncs in games played at the OB.   31-30 vs N, Osborne goes for two.  20-14, over OU, and then 23-3 over an outmatched Nebraska team.  Nebraska lost another Orange Bowl to the Canes before sweet vengeance in 1994.

The final game at the OB was awesome. Virginia 31 Canes 0.

Didn't notice this at first, but the entire top 18 is playing each other over 9 games.

DECEMBER 28 - Alamo (Stanford-TCU) & Holiday (MSU-WSU)
DECEMBER 29 - Cotton (OSU-USC)
DECEMBER 30 - Fiesta (PSU-UWash) & Orange (UW-Miami)
JANUARY 1 - Peach (Auburn-UCF); Citrus (ND-LSU); Rose (Oklahoma-Georgia); Sugar (Clemson-Bama)

Kind of a nice condensed bowl schedule over those 4 days of 9 good games.  Plus you have #19 Okie State-#22 VT in Orlando on December 28 too.

Will be interesting to see whether overall for tv ratings it's better to have everything consolidated into 9 pretty good games, and like 30+ awful games, or have the ranked teams who don't go to the NY6 sprinkled through like 10 mediocre games
