Oklahoma State wanted their first BCS berth and were perhaps a game away from that, but the Cowboys will be going to their fourth bowl game in a row and winners of two of their last three bowl games.
The Cotton Bowl with the Cowboys and Ole Miss is another rematch of the 2004 Cotton Bowl (Ole Miss won 31-28), but the '09 will be better simply because it is at Jerry's World. The Cotton Bowl (in Dallas) itself has made nice improvements over the last few years as I have seen personally, but its no Jerry World, and of course, it will cost more for fans to go to Jerry's World.
Ole Miss is 3-1 when playing in the Cotton Bowl and Oklahoma State is 1-1.
The game itself has two teams with mirror images. The quarterbacks and running backs will be interesting to watch. You know, Houston Nutt will have some added motivation as the Ole Miss coach, who played and coached for the Cowboys in the late 70's and 80's.
Ole Miss quarterback Jevan Snead has been good and has been average this season. Snead and the Rebels played in this bowl game a year ago and defeated Texas Tech 47-34.
OSU is coming off their worse game of the season, but will be numerous of days away from January 2nd.
