College Bowls - 12/28 - 1/7 (Non-BCS games)

[Andy]

C'mon Gophers, you just need to suck for one more offensive possession.

I'm pissed this game is on the NFL Network. They should not be showing bowl games on an NFL channel. This sucks.

38-38. I wish I was watching this game.

Red Raiders won the toss.

[TruffleShuffle]

if minn loses this game, glen mason had better be out of a job by tomorrow morning. what a terrible coach.

Red Raiders won the toss.

 

Not good.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Minnesota takes the 41-38 lead.

[TruffleShuffle]

Texas Tech scores a touchdown in about 2 plays here.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

First and goal inside the 5 for TT...

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Tech wins 44-41.

[soccer10k]

Game over. Tech wins. What a comeback.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

That was the biggest comeback in bowl history...

[TruffleShuffle]

another good bowl pick sabotaged by an incompetent coach. thanks glen. i guess the good news for golden gopher fans is that this loss will be so egregious that even the minnesota administration and AD can't ignore how bad mason is now.

Big win for me to go to 13-4 :D

 

Thanks Gophers for remembering which team you are

Minnesota's a pretty good team, so you're wrong there. The problem is their coach. A couple of years ago they blew a 21 point 4th quarter lead against Michigan. When he has the lead, Mason coaches the 4th quarter like he's about to wet himself. He's awful. A decent coach would've never let that game come to that.

Minnesota's 6-7 and got plastered by the only good teams they played (Michigan, OSU, Wisco and Cal all beat them by at least 14, and other than Michigan, a home rivalry game, that margin was at least 25).

 

If Minnesota is a good team, then there are about 50-55 great teams in college football.

They're good enough to beat a mediocre Texas Tech team, obviously - the same Texas Tech that lost to Colorado by 24 points. I'm certain they're better than Texas Tech, but unfortunately Texas Tech has a real coach while Minnesota has a moron.

Minnesota has usually had a good offense but a shaky at best defense. This year, their offense wasn't as good. They were not a good team this year.

Maybe, but good enough to beat a second-tier (if that) Big 12 team does not a good team make. It doesn't even a mediocre team make.

[Flames24Rulz]

Awesome comeback for Tech. I was looking at the updates on my phone and couldn't believe that they got it within 3 with a minute left in regulation. Then I couldn't believe that their kicker hit a 52 yarder to send the game in OT. Now, maybe if Clemson had a kid like that, I'd have been 5-0 in my picks today :x

 

Oh well. 4-1 on the day and 11-6 overall isn't too bad at all considering that I lost 4 of the first 5 games.

boy if they're not even mediocre and they can stay within 2 touchdowns of michigan, then notre dame must be really lousy.

[da bears]

Thank you for beating a bad Big 10 team Tech. Really wish Mizzou didnt blow it. What a heartbreaking loss. Stupid Mizzou. ugh.

Well, that was predictable. If all else fails, insult ND.

 

Then again, ND was (at least) three games better and beat the crap out of two second-tier Big Ten teams that Minnesota lost to.
