about it being dumb, but getting to the Rose bowl is a big part of winning the P12 championship. It does go against what many players were saying prior to the game that the prior year they were just happy to be there but that this last year it was a ‘business trip’ and they were there to win. Well it sounds like you were just happy to be there again after all.
It’s small time no doubt but they’re small time, and so is BYU. It’s like the Jazz retiring non-hall of fame players and making statues of guys who never won a ring. Until you’re winning Rose Bowls and playoff games and national championships then you celebrate these other things.
