Sun Bowl trip notes and a wild game report
A writer recounts attending the Sun Bowl in El Paso to see the Huskies vs Alabama Crimson Tide. He details travel chaos at SeaTac, the hot turnaround flight, the desert setting, and a chaotic stadium experience with fights and odd scenes including a megaphone incident and a riot outside. The game itself disappoints, but the trip yields colorful memories and a tease for the Rose Bowl.
