Year: 2011
It’s not a BCS Bowl or the Cotton Bowl, but the Bears will take it. And they’ll take it gladly.
He is one of three players in the history of the FBS with more than 10,000 yards passing and 2,000 yards rushing, graduated both high school and college early, competed in the Olympic Trials at the age of 17, is a finalist for the Manning Award, the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award, the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award and the Heisman trophy.
Even Superman can’t do it alone. While most of the credit for the Bears’ stellar offense this season is attributed to Heisman hopeful quarterback Robert Griffin III, and rightfully so, one player stands out as Griffin’s right-hand man when the Bears take the field on offense.
Washington travels 2,161 miles to the Alamo Bowl with facets Baylor has faced all year: a decent defense, a fiery quarterback whose rush game is nonexistent and a strong running back.
The Bears will have the luxury of staying in Texas to play in their second bowl in 2 years. The Valero Alamo Bowl will be played at San Antonio’s Alamodome, in San Antonio which has a capacity of 66, 000.
The darkest of days: Baylor football 2007. This is how senior inside linebacker Elliot Coffey described his true freshman year playing for the Bears
Parking permits for Alamodome lots have been sold out, purchased by Alamodome season ticket holders and sponsors. Still, the Alamo Bowl and the city of San Antonio make it easy to reach the stadium from downtown.
The punchline, “Texans are very fond of showing off the places where we killed people,” may have some thinking the obvious place to visit in San Antonio is the Alamo, but the historic city has much more to offer visitors than an old battle ground.
I am absolutely thrilled with your decisions this year. Although the vast majority of America wants to see a playoff system and there are probably ways to have that make more money anyways, you guys have really stuck to your corrupt principles and kept the BCS Championship series.
