Florida State Going to the Emerald Bowl - Will Play UCLA - in San Francisco



Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden and his players will have another chance to finish with a winning record when they play in a bowl game next month, most likely the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco.

But, with FSU at 6-6 after Saturday's 21-14 loss to No. 4 Florida (11-1), the alternative exists, too. UCLA is 6-5 and will have the home crowd. This is the first time in FSU's short 60 year history that they will play UCLA.

“When we were in that winning streak we were in, I didn't think I'd ever lose again,” said Bowden, referring to 14 consecutive seasons of 10 or more wins and top-five rankings. “I was thinking, 'Man this is easy.' ”

Is the Glass half full or half empty? The Emerald Bowl guaranteed each team at least $750,000. The positive side is that it could be Boise.
