"East is East and West is West and ne’er the twain shall meet." Forget that. The East and the West will definitely meet and they’ll meet on the field in San Francisco at SBC Park in the Emerald Bowl. December 29, 2005 is the date to remember and Emerald Bowl tickets are what you want. That’s because this year’s Emerald Bowl is a showdown between the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and the Utah Utes of the Mountain West Conference.
The Utes battled their way to a postseason berth with a 6-5 overall record and went 4-4 in the Mountain West, but it took a gutsy overtime win at BYU to lock down the invitation. Quarterback Brett Ratliff, in his first collegiate start, threw four touchdown passes in the game. The last was a 25-yard strike to wide receiver Travis LaTendresse in the overtime period to seal the deal. Keep an eye on The Utes came on strong in the last part of the season, winning three of their last four games and are on a hot streak heading into the Emerald Bowl.
