Both in fact.  The Final 4 was great and S.A. is a neat city... the Alamo Bowl is one I'd like to attend rather than being relegated to Las Vegas 3 days before Christmas (barf) against Nevada (barf again).  I think about it from the players' perspective too.  I think they want to go to the bigger games with the bigger conference opponents, in warm weather areas.  When you've beaten the likes of USC or Notre Dame, it is hard to get excited for an East Carolina or weak ACC school, as we saw in 95 and 01.  I don't think the bowl win should be the 4th or 5th best win on your resume.  You practice 4 weeks for that?
