I’ll even skip the couch-burning jokes for the day in honor of the Sugar Bowl win.
That fake punt to keep the ball from Georgia wasn’t just ballsy. It was well executed. Not only did the Hoopies win a BCS Bowl, they were the only Big East team to win a bowl this year. In this case the convential wisdom is correct — this was big for the Big East. Especially considering how Louisville gacked it away against Virginia Tech in the Gator, where all the Big East had going for it to that point was a weak-ass, “well the games were close” kind of claim.
