COMEDOWN. More evidence of the sports bubble popping. Orange Bowl tickets for under $5. The game features Virginia Tech playing Cincinnati. Before the Bowl Championship silliness, the Orange Bowl was THE game (the schedule featured the Cotton Bowl at mid-morning, the Rose Bowl in late afternoon, and the Orange, which was not tied to conferences as tightly as the Rose was in those days) with the winner often voted the National Champion in the January 2 polls.
