Bored 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2004 Okay now the bowl schedule comes fast and furious with 20 games in the next six days. In the MPC Computers Bowl Virginia should beat Fresno State relatively easily but UCLA should have beaten Wyoming relatively easily and that game ended so far being the only close bowl game. Then there is the Motor City Bowl with UConn and Toledo which is one of the least compelling bowl match-ups but should produce a competitive and potentially exciting game.

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2004 Fuck the Cotton Bowl. I'm jacked for the Motor City Bowl. I've dissipated too much of my college bowl gambling stake on NBA and NFL games, and if Toledo doesn't pull through for me I'm screwed. Â Luckily, they're playing a Big East team within about 150 miles of home, so I should be OK, but I'm still going to be focused squarely on the TV tonight.

Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2004 I'm jacked about the MPC COMPUTERS BOWL, BAYBEE. Kickoff in 25 minutes, and I'm hoping Virginia shows up. Prediction: Hoos 35, Fresno 17. Prove me right, guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2004 Fresno State ties it up on 4th and Goal with 11 seconds left. Likely heading to overtime. Â And they win it in overtime 37-34. The perfect end to a dissapointing season for Virginia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2004 Unbelievable. Fresno wins, 37-34. Tons of bad calls against UVA, but the guys just weren't up enough to overcome that and a good Fresno team. What a depressing end to the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2004 Damn I didn't know Bruce Gradkowski's hand was is such bad shape. This game might already be over at 17-0 in the first quarter. Â I do find it funny but not surprising that the only bowl game to this point that ESPN is giving a ton of promo hype is the Insight Bowl since Notre Dame is playing in it.

Bored 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2004 Witness the live sacraficing of Notre Dame football on ESPN right now! Â I had a feeling this might get ugly with Oregon State's passing game against Notre Dame's horrendous secondary but it's been special team's that have caused this lopsided score. This game is going to get uglier before it's over. Â And then Oregon State forgets to play defense on 3rd down an entire drive, with a ticky tack pass interference call throw in, and Notre Dame gives themselves some hope going into the half.

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2004 Oh, I could have told you that ND would get beaten pretty solidly before the game. OSU was quite a bit better to begin with, and teams almost always play shitty in their bowl game after losing a coach. Â When the players have to hold a vote to see if they'll go to the bowl game, it's usually a sign that they won't be too well-motivated. Â By, the way, here's the interesting statistic of the day. ND has lost their last seven bowl games, dating all the way back to 1994. I had no idea it was that bad until I watched the broadcast tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nogoodnick 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2004 I thoroughly enjoyed watching ND get their shit kicked by OSU. I just dont see their program returning to a BCS game in the next 4 years. I hope Ty Willingham and UW kick their asses next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
