If you told an Oregon or a TCU fan in September that they'd meet in the Alamo Bowl, and that they'd be more than pleased with it, you'd probably get laughed out of your Fort Worth smokehouse or your Eugene brewery tour. It's as closfair to say that given the injuries on both sides–namely the quarterbacks, Vernon Adams and Kohlhausen/Sawyer–that both the Frogs and Ducks would be in the playoff conversation. That's, however, and to paraphrase Ron Washington, the way football goes.
Year after year, the @valeroalamobowl continues to impress with their endzone designs.
