The Salute the Troops Bowl

I had not heard anything at all about the 'Salute the Troops Bowl' being planned in Iraq until perusing the Daily Oklahoman after tonight's Big 12 Championship.

Apparently, coaching greats Bobby Bowden of Florida State (until this week), and OU's Barry Switzer will square off, coaching opposing teams made up of College football legends and members if our armed forces.

Sponsored by Tostitos, the event is aimed at bring college football to the troops.

Even if Barry Switzer werent coaching, this strikes me as a pretty classy thing to do.
