You've Been Irished!

The 2005 Cotton Bowl. I know it was Tennessee who did it, but Fran needs one no matter who did it:

got Irished in 2003 & 2004. 2003 in the Sugar Bowl, and 2004 I think in the Orange Bowl.

I like "getting Irished" as a term for getting blown out of the water in a bowl you had no business going to in the first place, but when a team goes to a bowl that's not as good as what they thought they should've gotten and then proceeds to get punked by a supposedly inferior team, I think that should be called a case of "K-State Syndrome." The classic example was when Kansas State rolled to an 11-0 record in 1998 and was one quarter away from playing Tennessee in the national-title game, but got beat in double-OT in the Big 12 championship and got knocked all the way down to the Alamo Bowl. Where they proceeded to lose to 8-4 Purdue, a 2-TD underdog.
