I never really go to Sun Bowl games for the football. For me it's more about the spectacle. El Paso on display. My notes on the day:
- The sloooow Sun Bowl shuttle has me thinking I don't want to rely on public transportation in the near future.
- Stanford in red, Oklahoma in white. What else do you need to know, really?
- I have never seen Sun Bowl stadium that full. Ever.
- I was *obsessed* with the Stanford tree.
- I think part of the fun of any sporting event is the $10 lunch of nachos and Sierra Mist. Where else does that meal make sense?
- I heard two guys talking about El Paso while I was in the line to get nachos: "There's nothing to do, but everywhere you go, people are so nice." So true.
- David Archuleta is the cutest. Too bad he was facing the other side of the stadium. Here he is on the Jumbotron:
- Final score: Oklahoma 31, Stanford 27. Didn't see the end of the game, unfortunately, because I had to work. But I saw most of what I wanted to see. I had an amazing time with my older cousin who doesn't live around here.
- Great bowl game. Let's do it again next year :-).

Ah, I wish I could have been there! I would love to see the Sun Bowl packed like that every home game during the Fall.
I saw that Archuleta ate at Avilas...would you have taken him there or some other place?
Avila's is good with me. Some would say Chico's but it's not for everyone.
