Last night's Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, pitting TCU against Boise St., was a winner. The game itself was pretty boring, with Boise St. winning 17-10 - two high flying offenses that were supposed to light up the scoreboard fizzled. Sorry Horny Toads, was really hoping you'd win this one.What made the game a winner:
Michael McDonald (Doobie Brothers) sang the National Anthem
During the anthem, the field was completely covered with a US flag
During the anthem, a bald eagle was flying over the flag
At halftime, coverage was given to a USO sponsored flag football game that took place earlier over in Iraq between former college football players/coaches and active duty military personnel
At halftime, Tostitos presented the USO with a donation of $200,000
My cousin, Alex, was on national TV. You know the Bud Light Too Light/Too Heavy commercials? You know the one where the guy drives a monster truck into the backyard party? Alex is the guy who stands on top of the monster truck "I brought potato salad" ... Way to go cous ...

You're right, it was well done. The added touch with the eagle brought tears to my patriot eyes.
So that guy is your cousin. Uhm, this might explain some of your random musings! lol Just kidding... It's really a great commercial, I hope it gets him where he wants to go.
As for TCU's offense, yep, it was REALLY sad. Maybe next year.
