HAPPY HOLIDAY
There's a poll on HolidayBowl.com that currently predicts (54.5 to 45.5) that Texas will lose the game to Arizona State.
UT will have to buck recent history to make sure that doesn't come to pass.
This will be the third time in seven years that the Longhorns will have played in this bowl, and they are 0-2 so far, losing to Washington State in 2003, 28-20, and falling to Oregon in 2001, 35-30.
The Big 12 is 3-3 over the past six years in the bowl. The Aggies got clobbered by Cal, 45-10, last year, while OU squeaked by Oregon, 17-14, the year before. Texas Tech beat Cal, 45-31, in a great game in 2004. Kansas State was the other winner during that time, beating these same ASU Sun Devils, 34-27, in 2002.
