It felt like a really big game. And the Fox production quality was very good. The fans sounded jacked up for both teams.

Before the fiesta bowl came around the cotton bowl was one of the big four bowls. I don't know how it got knocked down, I suppose it was funded properly. Moving it off of new years day and to a night game as well as being in the new Jerry world stadium all help it. It didn't,t hurt that T AM and The LSU were playing. Both schools have great fan bases and were close enough to travel easily.

Jerry Jones is fighting like hell for it to be and It will be soon.

I was at the Annatole on Thursday night and all i heard from LSU people and staff was how they have never seen so much red carpet rolled out for a non BCS bowl.

With that stadium and a great location in the center of the US, Its crazy for it not to be.

The Jones'(Jerry's son is on the Cotton Bowl Committee now) are just waiting for the renewal of the BCS contract in 2014. It's just a matter of waiting for that to be done. Then ESPN will be all over it because it will fall into their grimy little hands.
