My light holiday posting was even lighter today as I’ve been dealing with some technical issues. But I would be remiss if I didn’t point out that the glow of the Aggies’ late November victory over the Longhorns is now officially gone after the Cal Bears thumped the Ags 45-10 in last night’s Holiday Bowl.
Meanwhile, the best crack of the bowl season came at halftime of the Houston-South Carolina LIberty Bowl game. After a wild first half that ended with Houston leading 28-17, the sideline reporter asked South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier as he headed to the locker room: “How do you defend the explosive Houston offense?” Coach Spurrier replied with a wry grin: “Obviously, not how we’re doing it.”
