Utah's football team made a great showing in the Fiesta Bowl,
trouncing Big East champion Pittsburgh. Utah's football fans made a
great showing in Tempe, traveling by the tens of thousands to fill
the stands.
The Fiesta Bowl itself didn't do so great in the TV ratings. Oh,
it easily beat the competition -- which was pretty non-existent -- on
the other networks on Saturday night. But the ratings were down 5
percent from what the Orange Bowl did in the same time slot a year
ago.
(Last year's Orange Bowl aired in the post-Rose Bowl slot on New
Year's Day.)
