Title: The 2013 Bowl Game Thread
Post by: AUChizad on December 30, 2013, 04:33:59 PM
Since there isn't one.

Didn't really see anyone discuss Miami getting pants by Louisville by the EXACT SAME MARGIN OF VICTORY as the mighty FSU.

Ole Miss is beating "upper tier ACC team" GT right now 13-7 with about a minute left in the half, despite Ole Miss just missing an 11 yard field goal.

 :facepalm:

Colorado St-Washington State was good though.

Pretty clear ole miss is no auburn, Wallace is no Marshall and frieze is no Gus.

18 seconds left. Wallace wanders around, wastes time, hits underneath and the receiver doesn't have sense enough to go down after the first down. Wastes three seconds struggling for one yard. Then with 10'left Wallace wastes it all and throws underneath again.

Ten seconds left and you've got one look. Not there? Wing for sidelines. Live to play again

Idiots. And still better than GT.

"Ole miss got the longest bowl win streak in the country..." So say frieze.

Well duh. You go to a bowl once every six or eight years and its always a crap bowl against a crap opponent so...... Duh. 

How often have the Oso Negros gone bowling in consecutive seasons since 1960?

Mighty Morphin Power Oregon looks pedestrian against the juggernaut Texas squad.  Wait...Texas isn't a juggernaut?  They're actually so bad they fired their coach? 

At least it's close.  At least Ole Miss and Georgia Tech was intriguing until the end.  Most of the games have been blowouts or snooze fests.

For some reason, MTSU decided to thug out against Navy today and pick up several personal fouls, lay in a bunch of cheap hits, and talk enough shit to make Randy Moss wish they'd shut up. Not sure what brought that on but the Midshipmen pounded them into the ground just the same.

Transitive property does not work. FSU is just that good.

Auburn is a four loss team. Not as good as Clemson.  Didn't beat Alabama or UGA.

They have a few weeks to figure out all auburn's trick plays.

FSU will be ahead by 17-21 points heading to the fourth. So says Seminole Nation.

So far this years bowl games have left me kinda bored.  Who the fuck decided that it would be a good match up to put #10 Oregon against unranked Texas? 

Sidenote:  Oregon's run is over.  Stanford has taken over the top spot in the Pac whatever, and the two Arizona schools are starting to get their shit together.  The Ducks will still get the hype from espn but look for them to keep missing the new playoffs and landing in shitty little bowls like the one they just won.

Werd.  They could have done so much better with some of the picks.  Biggest flop for me is UA/OU.  Chokelahomo is about as meh as it comes.  I would much rather one of the two who's fan bases ran their mouths the most get a shot in Nawlins.  Oregon (TJSF) or theOhio State University.  Don't even know if I'll watch any of the Sugar Bowl.

I think it will be one of the closer games. Skreetz.

I don't know if I've been living right enough for the SEC to go 9-1 with the only loss being the one played here in the Big Easy, but I'm not abandoning hope yet.

Sidenote to the rape of BC that took place today.

Arizona lost to Washington State (who we beat in our opener by a TD) 24-17.

The transitive property is far from an exact science, but when you start piling on the variable input, it's looking good for the good guys.

Watched the game last night with Texas Tech and texas university fans, all of whom hate JFF. They were loudly cheering on The Nerds.  That was pretty fun too.  I'm glad TAMU won because (1) I had big pick 'em points on the fighting farmers and (2) SEC and all that. But it was fun to see the nerds make JFF work for it.

Duke likely wins the game if the QB doesn't snatch defeat...ala Romo. And Johnny still the best ticket in CFB aside of Auburn.

Worst play calling I have ever seen in a major college game. EVA.

55 minutes into the game and Stanford is averaging about 2 inches per run between the tackles. Just watched them do it 3 times (and out) in a row. Seven or eight of the preceding ten plays. Same result.

I guess Shaw figured they would wear down Sparty's D-line eventually.

Agree! When do you trust Hogan? Shaw coaches from a shell and is considered one of the best and nearly always mentioned for other gigs but this guy looks comfortably numb right where he is. Furthermore...I don't think many big name signal callers post-Luck are gonna want to play for a guy that thinks a trick play is a TE around.

If you can't see either of these teams finishing in the top half of the SEC, then we were looking at two totally different teams. Can also throw UCF in with that mix.

They were playing each other.  Can't judge how well they'd do against teams that have speed and strength.  Looked like caveman football to me.  Woody Hayes got a boner watching that from hell. 

How'd Michigan State do the last few times they strayed into playing teams from this area? Beat Georgia (which lays a turd in practically every bowl game), lost to Bama huge, lost to Georgia.

Over the past three years, the Big Ten is 4-13 in January bowl games. And then there’s the Granddaddy of Them All. In the past 10 Rose Bowls, the Big Ten is 1-9, including three consecutive losses by Wisconsin.

The four wins?  Northwestern over MSU, Michigan over VTech in OT, Mich State over UGA in 3 OT and I can't find another in the last three years. 

Michigan State's win was the first Big10 win of the bowl season.

The Big10 has the worst bowl record of any conference in the BCS era. 

So I'm not sold on the cavemen clubbing an overrated Stanford team qualifying them for SEC success.

Ok to all of this. I'm just talking my eye test from what I've seen of these two this season. MSU D looks very good and maybe level of competition makes it so.

I would pick either of them over UF, MSU, Ky etc. All I'm saying is that I think they would be more competitive than the lower 1/2 of our conference. Not that we will ever know.

Define "for real." 

Can they stop the speed of an FSU, Auburn or even Tennessee? 

I submit that it is far from "real" as a pedestrian Ohio State offense proved.  It would be "real" against Kentucky.  It would be real against Florida in 2013.  It was real against a caveman Stanford team. It would not be real anywhere else.

For Real was an American R&B and soul quartet, that formed in 1993.[1] In the latter part of that decade they were nominated for a Grammy, Billboard Music Award, and Soul Train Music Award.

1.  for real 


Say this to show that you're in agreement with a statement someone has made.

Kitty: Crystal is a real bitch.
Kimmy: For real.
 
for real
Inf. genuine; not imaginary. Ken is really strange. Is he for real? This whole day has been weird, it just isn't for real.

And Oklahoma squib kicks it right into an Alabama player, and recovers the ball to end the game.


An ass beating, from start to finish.  I hope Saban throws himself, and everybody else on that sideline under the bus in his post-game presser.  The ball boy, the band, Katherine Webb, the baby that Saban punches when he gets really mad; the whole lot of them.

That's pretty hard core.  And BTW, you know lord saybinz will never throw himself under the bus.

Not sure if this was posted already, but the underdog is 3-0 in BCS bowls so far.

Clemson (the underdog) is up on Ohio State in the 4th.

Could the underdog get the clean sweep? Has that ever happened in the BCS era?

Hope not.  Would be fitting for the BCS to end showing that the "experts" don't know shit about how to seed teams.

BACKGROUND What is interesting to me is that Art Briles was a legend at Stephenson HS and Chad Morris took that job after Briles departed: schttp://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/09/auburns_gus_malzahn_clemsons_c.htmlhool

FF to today and Clemson/Dabo currently retain Morris at 1.2M. The plan was eerily similar to that of Chizik.
