amidst a sea of red.

There was friendly banter between the two groups, until near the end of the third quarter, when two full rows of Ducks fans left, en masse.

Utah fans were gracious in victory as the Ducks fans were in defeat.

Before the game, in the Mandalay Bay bars and restaurants, Utes and Ducks fans were drinking and eating together.

I had not attended a championship game, in years. I had forgotten how much fun it was.

I may go down for the Vegas Bowl - Big Ten vs PAC 12.
