at work to bitch about the easy TD Arkansas scored on drive #1. My old pal agreed from his cubicle, and suggested woodshed event was about to happpen.
I hung up, drank another beer, watched Nystrom, and T Tapeh lead us to a win, then hit Broadway (Robert's Western World with boots on the walls) for several more beers. This all happened with no MBIII and T Jackson III not well. MBII, or even TJII might have gained 287 yards that day against the SEC co-champs that day as well.
The Marching Band did the pre-game show at half time, and did a post game march around the stadium that added several layers of greatness to that day.
Mike Lehan and many others played well that day.
I'll probably never set foot in Nashville again, but that was a fun day. The New Year's Eve the next night was a let down after than, even though it was a great party funded by AOL bubble punk millionaires and plenty of gold-diggers waiting nearby.
P.S. OK, the original post was about the 1999 PSU win, but the 2002 Nystom performance at the Music City Bowl was very impressive.
Many overlook that many of those bowl teams would have gone to better bowl games, if not for the wretched fan support by the MN fans. Does anyone know why the support at the 2008 Insight Bowl was so much worse than the 2006 Insght Bowl?[/QUOTE]
Economy, same location as 06, overall lack of fan intensity due to a decade of mediocre bowl games under a overall mediocre regime that settled for 6-6, 7-5 type seasons with 4 wins against terrible NC teams...etc What do YOU think was the reason?
