JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Bobby Bowden's final game will take place in a packed house.The Gator Bowl said Monday that it sold every ticket for the New Year's Day game in record time, less than two hours. The bowl said all 77,474 tickets have been sold, with an allotment going to each school.Gator Bowl chairman Dan Murphy says "the interest in this game has been overwhelming and has surpassed all expectations."Florida State (6-6) will play Bowden's former team, No. 18 West Virginia (9-3), in hopes of avoiding the program's first losing season since 1976.Bowden announced last week that the bowl game would be his last. The Gator Bowl passed up Clemson, Miami and Boston College to select the Seminoles and give Bowden an alluring matchup in his finale...snipMy only question is why are the Florida State Seminoles even in a Bowl Game, other than because of Bobby Bowden's name?

JonLP24 (1000+ posts) Tue Dec-08-09 02:15 PMResponse to Reply #4 5. That's what I found odd If not Notre Dame it was listed for the #3 ACC team. Either way I assume (I glanced over the bowl picture) Miami is in a pretty good bowl.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
My money's on Florida State. ...not that I think they're a better team, but when they step up to the plate, they can win........like when they dismantled a #9 Brigham Young in Provo 54-28 on the 19th of September.
Yeah, but I think Christian Ponder's out for the season with an injury......not that he's that good anyway. In high school he played for Colleyville Heritage, but could never beat Euless Trinity.
