iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 Well, I thought Georgia Tech would win by a decent margin, but I didn't think it would be anything like this. The GT offensive line has been absolutely tremendous. It seems like every play PJ Daniels is already 10 yards into the secondary before he even gets touched. This is a rout in every sense of the word. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2004 Guess you could argue their currently is with the Hawaii Bowl seeing how Hawaii goes to it every year. Here's all the defunct bowl games, many of these were played pre-1950: Alamo Bowl (the original in 1947) Aloha Bowl (now the Hawaii Bowl All-American Bowl Aviation Bowl Bicardi Bowl (in Cuba) Blockbuster Bowl (one of the many incarnations of the current Tangerine Bowl) Blue Bonnet Bowl (lasted 28 years) Bluegrass Bowl California Bowl Carquest Bowl (another Tangerine Bowl connection) Cherry Bowl Cigar Bowl Citrus Bowl (Capital One Bowl now but of course many still call it the Citrus) Copper Bowl (now the Insight Bowl) Delta Bowl Dixie Bowl Dixie Classic Forth Worth Classic (no relation to the current Forth Worth Bowl) Freedom Bowl GalleryFurniture.com Bowl (now the Houston Bowl, thank god) Garden State Bowl Gotham Bowl Grantland Rice Bowl Great Lakes Bowl Hall of Fame Bowl (now the Outback Bowl) Harbor Bowl Los Angeles Christmas Festival Mercy Bowl MicronPC Bowl (another Tangerine Bowl connection) Oil Bowl O'Ahu Bowl Pasadena Bowl (the Junior Rose Bowl) Presidential Cup Salad Bowl (my favorite) San Diego X-Mas Classic Seattle Bowl (recent defunct lasting a whole two years) Shrine Bowl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ether Report post Posted December 23, 2004 Those wondering. Derrick WIlliams orally commited to Penn St. Bad choice..imo. Penn St. is a bad program, and Williams had schools like Oklahoma, and Miami recruiting him. As much as it pains me to say it, a program that puts 100,000+ in the stadium for all of it's games can't be labeled bad. You're right in that I can't understand either why any top offensive player would want to go there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2004 You're right it's not a bad program. It's really more of a bad team at this point. I'll be curious to know if other teams wo't continue to recruit Williams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2004 Starting quarterback got K.O'd in the first half, so it's not really the same team. I thought UCLA was firmly in control at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but a few sloppy turnovers and the back-up's propensity to take sacks sunk them.

Guest Ether Report post Posted December 24, 2004 This is the team that almost beat USC? They just lost to Wyoming! True.
