Well, we didn't get the Gator Bowl, but we're playing Utah in the Emerald Bowl, and I'm pretty pleased. There are only 2 other bowl games I wish we could have had a chance at: the national championship BCS game, and...
(From John Dvorak's rather odd little blog , a screamingly funny comment by Mike Cannali)
How about the Microsoft bowl:
1. It will be announced for the fall, but won’t actually occur until spring
2. Periodically all the players will freeze solid on the field and the game restarted from the beginning.
3. No security will be provided; others may give you viruses and/or may spy on you. It costs money to cry for help.
4. Your seat may be taken by someone assuming your identity
5. Ticket prices will be 5 times what they should be
6. You may not move to any other sports event from this one - but you can easily move from any other event to the MS Bowl.
7. You may upgrade, but the seat must be equal or better to the one you had last year. You cannot move to a lesser seat once you have attended any MS bowl.
8. You don’t actually own the ticket, just the right to possess it
9. After 15 minutes, you must verify your presence and identity to continue to attend.
10. Once you learn the rules for one MS Bowl, they will be changed and you must learn new ones all over again.
I'd better publish this post before this creepily smart computer reads what I'm writing, strikes me with lightning and erases everything!

I've said it before, but I'll reiterate: I'm not exactly thrilled about "The Emerald Bowl," but at least it's not a bowl with Smurf-colored turf.
My eyes hurt for a week after watching us play in that stadium. This year, the privilege falls to Boston College (take that, ACC newcomers! pppbbbthhthhhhtt!) and Boise State (who, if I remember correctly, refused to play us last year because they thought they were too good, so there). Fox Sports called it "screaming blue" turf (I like your description better ;) but claimed that the color made it all-the-more a "must watch" bowl game. None for me, thanks!
