We went to the OSU band "Skull Session" where the Marching 110 played as well.
What a great weekend that was!!
Figure out a way to scan that pic and e-mail it to me. I'd love to have it with my other O.U. stuff in our family room!
ETA, Here's an explaination of the bowl picture from my pal the newspaper guy...
I guess if we WIN the MAC we'd go to the Motor City Bowl. Lose the
championship, and we'd probably go to GMAC in Mobile.
-------------------------------------------------
* The Motor City Bowl features the MAC #1 selection vs. the Big Ten #7
selection. The Big Ten must have at least seven bowl-eligible teams to send
a team to the Motor City Bowl; or at least eight bowl-eligible teams if the
Big Ten places two teams in the BCS.
* The GMAC Bowl will be shown nationally on ESPN and will feature teams from
Conference USA versus the Mid American Conference or the Western Athletic
Conference.

Why would Central want to play close to home if they should win the MAC title? "as your punishment for winning the MAC title, you will have to play a home game at Ford Field" This has been covered here in Mich already. Should the chips win, they should be able to go to the GMAC bowl for it is something different. A bowl game in your home state isn't a reward imho.
