Yep. Appreciate the games he won, including our best bowl win since the natty in 39, but also glad he’s going to move on to the NFL.
This Orange Bowl win was not better than any of our Cotton Bowl wins. A step above the Peach vs Duke is as high as I'd rank it.
(ranking order = AP-Coaches-BCS)
'41 Cotton - 13-12 over #12 Fordham (7-1) - beating an Eastern power was a big deal at the time LINK
'68 Cotton - 20-16 over #8/7 Alabama (8-1-1) - Bear carries Stallings off the field LINK
'86 Cotton - 36-16 over #16/15 Auburn (8-3) - Tigers had Heisman winner Bo Jackson LINK
'88 Cotton - 35-10 over #12/12 Notre Dame (8-3) - had Heisman winner Tim Brown LINK
'13 Cotton - 41-13 over #12/12/11 Oklahoma (10-2) - put a cherry on top of our move from the Big 12 LINK

For what it means on a national scale, I'd put it ahead of every bowl game except the '40 Sugar, '41 Cotton and '13 Cotton.

I guess but that was an epic game thread. Made it a lot more fun to watch. I think Tmc and me posted every cat gif on the internet that night.

Technically the Cotton Bowl in 13 wasn’t a BCS bowl and the Orange is an NY6.
