Joe Paterno! bowl games are business trips and he treats them as such and his kids understand that.
in the 10 years of the Alabama-Psu series, Bryant and Paterno got to be good friend and traded ideas regularly.
fulmer and ut are famous for not showing for bowl games. look at uga last year, those kids didn't care. they were playing wvu in atlanta. thats no trip to those kids and they took wvu lightly and got embarrassed for it.
it happened to coach stalling his first year at Alabama. Bama was a replacement team in the fiesta bowl in the fight martin luther kings b-day.
they called the kids back from vacation and the coaches were out recruiting. Bama got to the desert and got blown out by howard schnellenberger's louisville team, which was a pretty good team. bama had no business in that game.
