re: CPJ vs. Lane Kiffen...Showdown in the mighty Sun Bowl........

Both coaches talked about their excitement to be in this game and Kiffin began his comments with an apology for a Tweet one of his players made about El Paso after the game was announced.

Tony Burnett, a 22-year-old former walk-on player from Watts, Calif., in Twitter messages said that no one wants to be in El Paso on New Year's Eve and

quote:

"if you never seen a real life giant tumbleweed get ready."

Kiffin said Burnett, because of class, had missed a team meeting in which the positives of the Sun Bowl were presented to players.

On whether or not Kiffin has ever faced Georgia Tech's Paul Johnson: “No, I have not."

Kiffin went on to say he and the Trojans were "excited" or the bowl announcement was "exciting" at least five more times in a conference call lasting less than 10 minutes.
