re: Worst bowl game to go to, from the perspective of the player

Did they put you guys at the Fairmont Princess or Scottsdale Plaza Resort? I had a friend on the Oregon teams that were here for the National Championship and last year's Fiesta Bowl and spent some time hanging out up there and it is pretty sweet.

Princess, it was a nice resort but horrible for security as the rooms are only 1 or 2 stories. Really easy for people to sneak out. We had a bunch of guys sneak out the night before the game and roll back into the property in cabs the next morning... shame because we ended up playing poorly in the game.

For the Rose Bowl our coaches cracked down on that and posted security guards at every exit for overnight watch. We stayed at the JW Marriott by the Staples Center for the Rose Bowl and they sent home some guys on a Greyhound for breaking curfew and coming back in at 5am.
