Avoiding the Hype Letdown

[wowski18]

In 2002 I heard stories about how the players and coaches arrived separately and didnt really act as much of a team and kinda let the fame get to them before the Orange Bowl.

I'm hoping Kirk uses this as an example going forward to keep the players leveled and avoid letting all this go to their heads.

Back in 2009 when they went to the Orange Bowl for a 2nd time Kirk had everyone travel together and treated it as a business trip and the results were much better than 2002. I think he'll do the same thing this year.

This team and staff won't let that happen ... KF learned his lesson on this long ago (2003 Orange Bowl) ... said they are treating this like an away game, same routine, etc.

In that 2003 Orange Bowl, Carson Palmer thought he was Connor Cook.

Oops...wrong thread. Sorry.

carson palmer had a very quick release and he had a zip and a pace that was really baffling iowa, I drove down to Miami for that, it was fun when cj jones returned that opening kickoff
