COLLEGE FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT
Want to buy some grass? Now you can, legally. It’s actual Fiesta Bowl grass, preserved in a clear container and plopped on top of some sand and offered for sale as a commemorative item.
Yes, it’s grass under glass and now it can be yours for only $34.95. Or, if you prefer, you can own a tuft of “living championship field turf” stuffed in a ceramic team helmet planter. It’s just $24.95.
But for the high-roller, the ultimate is probably a game ball signed by Tom Osborne and set into a walnut base trophy. For $2,500, you can call it your own.

When the chips were down at the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, the Tostitos signs were up. Way, way up.
On the facing of the stands on the Florida side of the field, there were 34 Tostitos signs, not including the seven Tostitos mentions on the playing field, the Tostitos canopy over one tunnel or the Tostitos banner strung the entire width of the end zone on the two-story building at the south end.
