#1 - Never trust StoopsMyAss or Arizona bankers.  Seriusly, has anyone seen what the housing market is like down there....

#2 - Always trust the caterer.  If they say stay away from the shrimp, don't touch it.  If they say Iowa is going to the Orange bowl, beat the rush and book your tickets.

#3 - The Fiesta bowl execs must be a little "slow".  The outrage isn't just going to be coming from Texas and Idaho.  I can't even imagine how pissed businesses in Glendale and Phoenix are right now. From a purely objective point of view, they seem to have gone with the best available draft strategy over drafting for need. Unfortunately, this is the real world and money talks.  If the game is half full and a ratings snoozer like many are predicting, I would expect some heads to roll.

If tonights baffling selections don't call for a second edition of the SMA Bowl Exec soap opera, then I don't know what does.  I am formaly requesting a follow-up. Get to it.
