"Only one team finished with just one loss and a bowl win."
--Larry Wahl, Orange Bowl Representative
Really, I would've shown up just for the highlight video. A great time and a first class ceremony. The crowd filled up one side of the Fieldhouse. My expectation was that the entire venue should have been full, but still it was a good crowd. You can barely make out the sweet powder blue suit that James McClinton was sporting in the photo above.
The Bad News
Joe Mortensen, Ryan Cantrell and Justin Thornton were all on crutches. The guy in front of me said Mortensen's injury was an ACL and that he would miss the first three games of 2008. Please don't consider that an "official" source. Thornton's injury occurred in an intramural basketball game, but no info on Cantrell has been made available.
