We flew to Phoenix on NYE and spent the night celebrating the new year with Karla's parents, who were nice enough to provide us a place to crash! In the morning, we started our day of football with the Iowa game. Since we wanted to experience all the pre-game festivities at the Fiesta Bowl, we left during at halftime. Luckily we were able to find the game on the radio. The Hawkeyes put up a good fight, but weren't able to pull it out in the end.
Lowell, Matt, and Karla arrived to the Fiesta Bowl and found it filled with Baylor fans! Okay, there were a few UCF fans there too, but we won't mention them. After walking around and soaking in the atmosphere, we headed to a bar to watch the first half of the Rose Bowl. We were able to snag some seats at the bar and made friends with the Baylor fans and had some good-nature trash talking with the UCF fans.
The stadium was a great atmosphere - we were excited to see all of the Baylor fans! We ended up having great seats (after moving since our first seats had a railing in our way) and enjoyed our free chips and salsa (thanks bowl sponsors!). The game was really fun...for the first three quarters. Then the other team started pulling away. Boo. Overall, Baylor had a great season and Matt was a very happy Baylor Bear!!
