    Terry, I saw the other day where you asked if the MacArthur Bowl was till given. I wasn't really aware of this bowl but it is still given out.

    Yeah I looked it up after I made those comments and they are now tied into the BCS. Too bad in a way, this is a year that it would have been nice to have given Utah the McArthur Bowl.

    It does seem kind of redundant doesn't it?

    Truth is I wasn't even aware of this one, been living in shell I guess.

    Well it does seem redundant for them to rubber stamp the BCS winner as Nat'l Champion. But if they had retained their autonomy they could be a nice alternative to teams like Utah.
