However, with the situation as
it now stands, the squad did not
feel it was worth the effort to f
begin serious drills once again '

Of this, the spokesman said:
“When we go to a bowl, we want
to go to a bowl that will do some
good for the prestige of the Uni

Another factor which influ
enced the voting was that the
Cigar Bowl stadium holds be
