Official College Football Bowl Discussion Thread

Recommended Posts

Ok State is playing stupid football. They're playing like crap.

Jesus the Big XII was doing so good.

Watch the 2 North teams win their bowl games and then all the South teams lose theirs.

And oh yeah, fuck:

 

Associated Press

IRVING, Texas -- Both of Tennessee's freshman quarterbacks may be out for the Cotton Bowl.

 

 

 

Junior Rick Clausen will start as planned in Saturday's game against Texas A&M (7-4).

 

 

 

The Vols (9-3) had hoped freshman Brent Schaeffer would be able to play some after returning for the first time since breaking his collarbone Oct. 30 at South Carolina.

 

 

 

But Schaeffer has been unable to practice in Texas because of flu-like symptoms.

 

 

 

Coach Phillip Fulmer said on Monday that Schaeffer was "day-to-day,'' and hoped he would practice Tuesday.

 

 

 

"Outside (Tuesday) it's going to be very difficult for him to be able to play. I'm hopeful to get him back. If we get him back (Tuesday) or maybe even Wednesday and Thursday if (he) can practice, he might be able to help us,'' Fulmer said. "But it's almost beyond the point now where he can't get enough work to get it done. It's unfortunate.''

 

 

 

Schaeffer was able to practice in Knoxville, Tenn., before the players went home for Christmas. Tennessee began practice here on Sunday.

 

 

 

The Vols' other freshman QB -- Erik Ainge -- hasn't played since separating his shoulder against Notre Dame on Nov. 6. He will not play in the Cotton Bowl, Fulmer said.

 

 

 

Clausen has started the last three games in place of the freshmen.

OSU sucks.....sucks.......sucks......still sucking.......yep they suck.

They'll need one HELL of a comeback to win this game.

Way to go Ok State....just ruin the Big XII's bowl winning streak.

So this trophy that goes to the conference with the best bowl winning percentage?

What if your conference only plays like 2 bowl games and they win it? That's like 100% winning percentage and they get the trophy...or is there something else there?

Anyone could have seen this coming, what with how OK State finished their season and how OSU finished theirs. Had their midseason teams showed up, then you'd see a real game.

Why do you even care? They're your rival. I know you cheer for the conference and all, same way I root for the ACC, but c'mon. You can find joy in them winning or getting hammered.

 

Quite a turnaround for Ohio State this season; they'll probably be ranked in the top 20 for the end of the season, which is astonishing considering how pitiful they looked during that run of Big Ten losses.

Because the Big XII sucked last year. And they had a pitiful bowl season only winning 1 out of like 7.

So when it came around to talk about conference strength everyone rated the Big XII low and said they sucked.

I need them to win most if not all of their bowl games so that OU looks that much stronger running over the conference.

But now they're 2-1. Argh. And ironically the two wins are from North teams, easily the worst division ever in College FB.

I want the conference to look strong for my own selfish means honestly.

Plus there's 3 teams in the NCAA I absolutely cannot stand. Texas A&M, USC, and Ohio State.

Well I hope your not look to Texas Tech for any help there, Dama. Cal's going to embarrass them as well.

Well....hopefully Cal is still pissing and moaning about The Rose Bowl and they get hit early b/c Tech can score quickly.

Texas Tech will score some points, but Cal's probably gonna run up 50 or 60 on the Red Raider defense. I think Cal will come out motivated to show that the Big XII is a joke, which it really is. The vaunted South will probably end up at 1-4 this bowl season.

The Big XII? Umm.....they've already won 2 bowl games......so they can't come up 1-4....plus they're in 7 bowl games.......

 

The Big XII South is not a joke and will probably go 3-2 in bowl games with A&M, Texas, and OU rattling off wins and Tech and OSU falling off.

It's funny though that the Big XII North which is supposed to be the worst division in college fb is 2-0 in bowls. Haha.

Sorry, I meant the South. I edited it before I saw your reply, but after you saw what I wrote. Anyway, OSU was pathetic tonight, and I think somewhat inidicative of the conference as a whole.

 

Tennessee would run circles around A&M if Ainge were healthy, and I'm starting to think that Texas could even lose to Michigan.

No I don't think it was indicative of the South.

I think it was indicative of the fact that OSU was overrated. They got fat off the North.

Had a close game in front of a hot crowd against their biggest rival and then lost that game and were heartbroken. Then got upset by Texas and just gave up.

I think out of the 5 teams in the South they were probably the worst as evidenced by the fact that Baylor was the only South team they beat.

The rest of the South is much better than OSU showed.

 

The Big XII is not a joke and I still believe it's on the level of the Pac 10 if not better. I mean you wouldn't see OSU losing to Wyoming for gods sake.

The Pac 10/Big XII debate will be settled though when the two best teams from each conference play each other for all the marbles.

Until then there is no use arguing about it.

 

The Big XII will go 5-2 in bowls IMO and win that nice trophy too.

I think Cal will be motivated to take out Tech early and hard. They have superior talent and coaching and have a massive chip on their shoulders. Beating a Texas team from the big 12 would be a perfect way to take out some frustration against the shitty system.

 

I hope Michigan smacks Texas up too but I find it unlikely to be a blowout.

I'm expecting a drubbing, actually. Do you have any idea what the weather is like in Ann Arbor right now? They're going to want to stay and celebrate as long as possible, although the shock of sunshine and air that's tolerable without a coat on might make them falter at this time of year.

Well, Texas Tech lost to New Mexico. Pretty much splitting hairs between them and Wyoming. Every conference has teams that lose a game they shouldn't.

I just don't think the Big XII South is going to take this drumming like you guys claim. Like I said OSU was the worst of the South Bowl teams. The only South team they beat was Baylor.

 

I did think it would be ironic though if the North, the South's whipping boy, went 2-0 in bowl games and the South went 0-5. That's just how these things work!

I honestly think that Tech will lose horribly tonight. However A&M will more than likely beat Tennessee and I think that Texas D is to much for Michigan.

And then of course we have the Orange Bowl which probably won't be decided until the clock runs out on the 4th quarter and my heart will be in throat the whole game.

So the South has a good chance in the Bowl games.
