The Fiesta mattered when it hosted 1 vs 2 for the '86 NC.  Then, yes, when the BCS began, it relegated the Cotton to 2nd-tier.  The Cotton hadn't mattered since then, until being included in the NY6.  Now it's still a rung below the others, along with the Peach.  While the Peach has ascended to its current status, the Cotton fell to its.  

The Fiesta is like Florida, FSU, and Miami when helmet status conversations come up.  It has it all, except history.  
.
All that being said, the Rose, Sugar, and Orange are the big 3.

The Cowpokes have done jack squat since the first quarter, btw.

Does opting out at halftime of your bowl game look good to NFL teams? lol

Tylan Wallace has apparently decided not to play in the second half.   That’s interesting.

BTW with these announcers doing games from home - does that impact anything for you?  I wonder if they just decide to keep that up for these games.  Seems like it saves money.

Honestly, if I didn’t already know I couldn’t tell anything had changed with the broadcast of these games.

If I remember correctly, ESPN starting doing remote, in-studio announcing four or five years ago, for their later, more obscure games. It wasn’t received well, but fast forward to 2020 and I don’t think anybody really cares.

Not to quibble, but that happened in the Holiday Bowl.

The Fiesta was started as a bowl game for ASU and UA to play in, while they were still in the WAC. It has quite a history.
Yeah, I just came back to correct that mistake!  :smiley_confused1:

Wow, CU hasn't won a bowl game since Joel Klatt was their QB?  Now he's just a talking head chode.....

Meh, the refs just wiped off a 2 point conversion from Miami that there wasn’t enough evidence to do so.  No way you could unequivocally tell he was down before the ball crossed. 21-19 Okie Lite.
I think that he was down before he got the ball across the line, but I didn't think they had enough evidence to overturn the call on the field to the contrary.

They don't look they're going to win this one either.  Texas is threatening to go up 14-0 in the 1st quarter.

Hell of an effort by the Colorado RB to score that TD and get them back in the game.  Texas was all over that sweep.  Kid just wanted it.
