Fiesta Bowl viewers demand MORE COWBELL

A few seconds made one cowbell player an Internet sensation.

January 5, 2010 at 5:27PM

We watched most of last night's Fiesta Bowl with tepid enthusiasm. It was a pretty bland game, save for a nicely executed fake punt by Boise State and a pretty good desperation drive by TCU that came up short. If those are two of the best teams in the country ... well ... not to have bias towards the major conferences, but we're just not sold quite yet.

That said, our lack of enthusiasm was clearly topped by one individual: the reportedly blind Boise State female band member immortalized forever by giving a snappy little tune MORE COWBELL. Just a little more, in fact. She played the cowbell with about 1/100th of the gusto of Will Ferrell in the famous SNL skit. Please do take a look at the lasting video from last night's game. We saw it live, and we could watch it over and over again:
