Fares are available for less than $500. Â Which is amazing given that it is the Holiday season.
A BCS bowl stage is great for the athletes and the program. Â It suspect it will really help the program take yet another step.
In year 4, Harbaugh has got the team into a BCS game. Â And really, the team was much closer to winning the national championship than finishing at .500. Â It has been a very good year.

It is bad it is on a Monday for families thinking of attending the game. Â But Monday night is ideal for a program seeking more PRIME TIME. Â And it is more representative of the pressure and hype of the BCS NCG than a day game on January 1.
Getting into a BCS game for the second time in 11 years is pretty good. Â There are a lot of FBS AQ programs that have NEVER been to a BCS game in this BCS era. Â And a lot of those programs are going to need to change their anti-Stanford arguments.

Darn, I won\'t be able to make it due to work commitments. I was still holding out hope we\'d end up in the Fiesta. Oh well... can\'t complain about a BCS bowl.

Just bought tickets for my son and I (my wife and daughter couldn\'t swing the Monday night thing). Â Virgin America flies direct from SFO to Ft. Lauderdale, FYI. Â Hope to meet you in person while we\'re out there Garvin. Â Go Cardinal!!!
