Neat feature of the new AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic: At halftime, fans in the stands could send text messages and pictures and have them displayed on the Cowboys Stadium video screens that stretch from 20 yard line to 20 yard line.

I didn't see any wedding proposals, but if you wanted to get your message across to 75,000 people, it's a pretty nice way to do it.

Another neat thing about halftime: Both marching bands played selections from Queen. Who knew Freddie Mercury was still big in Stillwater and Oxford?
