 PHOENIX (AP) - The mariachi band started playing as the Florida Gators walked off the airplane Tuesday, welcoming players and coaches to the Valley of the Sun.
Although the band stuck to traditional mariachi ballads, a more appropriate tune might have been the Southern California fight song.
After all, the No. 2 Gators arrived for the Bowl Championship Series title game with one less thing to worry about thanks to the Trojans: They won't have to answer any more questions about whether they deserve to be in the championship over Michigan, which lost handily to USC in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day.
