How was this even possible? Wasn’t the result pre-ordained? Color-coded? I mean, seriously. It was the Orange Bowl Classic. In a stadium whose interior is an endless carpet of orange seats. In an event whose original stadium was named after an orange. marc jacobsIn a state where oranges grow on trees. So … you really thought the team dressed helmets-to-cleats in all orange would somehow lose?Well, Geno Smith and West Virginia thought so.Nothing else mattered. The favored Clemson Tigers had the right color in Wednesday night’s 78th annual Orange Bowl Classic here, but West Virginia’s Mountaineers had the right everything else including the right team, the one with the Cub Scout colors of dark blue and gold and the unstoppable, locomotive offense powered by Smith. He is the West Virginia quarterback leading a team of Mountaineers with a decidedly South Florida flavor, and what a homecoming he fashioned. Smith schooled at nearby Miramar High and grew up just across the Turnpike from Dolphins stadium — so close he used to sit on the hood of his mom’s car in the front yard where the family still lives and watch replays and highlights on the stadium’s Jumbotron. Wednesday night, Smith was the highlight up there.He had topped 300 yards passing by two minutes into the second half, marc jacobs bagsand would reach 401 yards with six touchdown passes to break Orange Bowl records in both categories.

That’s all. marc jacobs bags cheapI think Clemson’s defensive coordinator was the guy leaving the field wearing the blond wig in an effort to disguise himself. It didn’t work. Clemson fans were chasing him with torches and pitchforks. The 69 combined first-half points also were the most in any one half in the history of the Orange Bowl Classic, and WVU’s total of 70 were the most by any team in any bowl.Mull that one over for a second.This is not the Carquest Bowl, folks. This is not a bowl whose history dates to a year ago Thursday.The OB — one of the four most-major bowls in the NCAA’s Bowl Championship Series — is the South Florida tradition born in the mid-1930s, dating to the year of Amelia Earhart, the Dust Bowl, Babe Ruth’s final season.
