Attendance in Santa Clara about 28,000. Weird time slot, maybe. Most bowl games so far are poorly attended.
Texas-Missouri drew 67,000 in Houston.
And I totally missed the Arizona/Purdue game and I'm an Arizona alum. The Foster Farms Bowl? WTF?
Like I said earlier they've kind of lost their relevance. Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl, they all used to mean something. Foster Farms bowl? Besides who the hell wants to go to northern California in late December for a bowl game? SoCal, Florida, Texas, etc. are all warm and a party atmosphere. Santa Clara? Yeah, let's go to a football game and hang out at Starbuck's afterwards. Sorry, I'd rather hang out on the redneck riviera drink beer and enjoy the drunken debauchery of a bowl game weekend.
