College Bowls - 12/19 - 12/27

[soccer10k]

The Oregon O-line is horrendous. BYU is only rushing 3 and they're getting a ton of pressure on Leaf.

[soccer10k]

HAHAHA. Quality stats about the BYU team.

 

The announcers said a lot of them have gone on the 2 year morman missions already, about half (I believe) are married and a few have three kids. Not one kid, three kids.

 

I'm going to keep my mouth shut here.

Right after his interception:

 

"You can't telegraph a pass more than Brady Leaf did right there."

 

Of course not, he's a Leaf. It's what he does best. It's in his blood.

difference is BYU players are married and have 3 kids, Miami or Texas plays are single and have 3 kids starting from when they were about 17

Good point.

Oregon's uniforms tonight aren't that bad. Which is saying a lot for oregon.

I think at the end of the season, if the BCS wanted to figure out why things went so horribly wrong this year, they can look at the severe over ranking of Georgia, Tenn, Cal, and Oregon at the beginning of the season and the reluctance of the east coast voters to move SEC teams down to where they belong and the west coast voters to move Pac 10 teams down.

what went horribly wrong?

 

and yeah, i told you guys that byu was really good.

And yet you only put 15 points on them in the ESPN Pick Em game.

Is that it? I did those picks about 15 minutes before the first game started, so I blew through the confidences pretty quickly. Still, I'd guess most people put less than 15 points on that game.

[soccer10k]

Rice apparently doesn't have a defense. Troy up 28-10 with just under 10 minutes left in the second quarter.

 

Fortunately this will only cost me 3 points.

I put 26 on the Cougs and am currently leading the NSBB league :D

Another bowl, another blowout, and yet another L for me in Bowl Mania.

[MembersOnlyJacket]

Is Johnson a Junior? That kids a heck of a player.

 

Yes, he's a junior and is coming soon to an Oakland Raiders or Tampa Bay Buccaneers near you.

 

I'd be shocked if he passed up the draft for another year.

 

However, his roommate is Taylor Bennett. They are great friends and have roomed for the last 2 years. There are a lot of rumors swirling around that he may stay for the degree and the opportunity to play a season with his best friend on the team who happens to be a QB. We'll see what kind of taste of it he gets in the Gator Bowl...

[bukie]

Hey, I'm the only one 3-0 in Bowl Mania so far...although I really only had 3 points on Troy, so I'm still 3rd overall. :)

Severe overanking of Tennesee? How do you figure? We finished the year ranked higher than we started and our 3 losses came to Florida(one point) and LSU (four points) who are playing in the National Championship and Sugar Bowl respectively. The third came to Arkansas without our starting QB and the Razorbacks finished pretty respectably.

I don't have a problem with the others, but saying UT was overranked is confusing at best.

[soccer10k]

Go San Jose St.

[soccer10k]

Wow. Horribly blown coverage by New Mexico. There wasn't a defender within 20 yards of the SJST receiver. 7-0.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

It's amusing to see Bob Toledo on the New Mexico sidelines.

[CubColtPacer]

How many home games are there this year for bowl teams? This one for New Mexico, Hawaii, LSU (basically a home game an hour away)-I guess you could maybe count USC as well-anyone else?

Georgia's playing in the Chick Fil A bowl in the Georgia Dome correct? None others come to mind immediately.

[soccer10k]

New Mexico doesn't know how to hang on to the football and they have lost four fumbles today against SJST.

[cubweiser03]

Of the 3 games today this late game is worth the most points to me. Its worth 4.

 

Well done ND. You are flat out rockn right now.

Yeah, I had a combined 11 points riding on the three games today.

My 115 points and 5-1 record places me in the 98th percentile of all ESPN.com players right now :)

 

This is completely out of character for me, I used to almost take pride in my ability to get under 40% of the bowl games right.
