The Daily Bowl Discussion Thread: January 1st

Recommended Posts

Big-time sack by Georgia to force a Wisconsin field goal attempt. They WORKED for that one. Powerful, head-jarring football being played all around today thus far.

ANOTHER TURNOVER!? JESUS CHRIST!

 

That's it. It looks like it's up to Texas to represent today. It's only the 2nd quarter and I think this game is over.

 

*shakes Kotz hand*

Good job.

And A&M is just having everything go wrong for them after a made to order 3rd and 20 conversion failed and Tennessee was forced to punt. The crowd can only stay enthusiastic for so long, and A&M desperately needs a score to keep this game from getting out of hand. 21-0 Tennessee.

A&M just looks disjointed and out of it. The defense has to get a stop and then the offense needs to score a touchdown.

Maybe they should pretend Tennessee is from Oklahoma b/c those are the only 2 teams A&M has looked stellar against this season! Jesus!

Their defense absolutely needs a stop here after that false start penalty thwarts an Aggie series. I'm not sure they'll be able to do it.

 

And MAN are both teams jacked at the Outback Bowl. Big Ten/SEC matchups are always intense for some reason. Probably due to a similar style of play.

Tell you what, if Tennessee can win this game in the same fashion they've dominated it thus far, they'd damn well better get a #12 or maybe even #10 ranking for the end of the season, 'specially if Georgia can beat Wisconsin. I can't stress enough how well Phillip Fulmer coached this year, and how frighteningly good we'll be as early as next year.

And that fullback handoff just broke the back of the A&M defense. Caught TOTALLY off-guard, and Tennessee is poised to go up 28-0 in a minute.

 

Make that 28-0 now pending the extra point.

And a delay of game kills any chance of possibly converting that 4th down. A&M's offense shows signs of wanting to break out, but they just can't do it. That defense that rose up against Auburn in the second half of the SEC Championship and for most of the season is showing up.

 

Man, nothing feels as good as a lead in your bowl game. Man, I looooooove football.

It took me 2 hours to find the fucking cotton bowl. (fox? i never knew they had college football) all to see Tennessee smacking it down.

 

I'm paying attention to the Outback since it's close and hard hitting. I'll check out the Gator bowl during the Half...

 

WV scores to bring the game 10-6(missed EP) in favor of the Seminoles early in the game for the "we are forgotten about" bowl.

Making the Gator has to be the most offensive bid possible.

 

I bet teams would rather play the Insight.com bowl then the Gator Bowl.

It's ALWAYS forgotten about on New Year's day in favor for the bigger bowls like Rose and Fiesta and the other "secondary" bowls tend to be "bigger" like the cotton or outback or Capital One.

And to give us our most simultaneous games of the day at four, the Citrus Bowl is about to get underway on ABC. Should be a dandy.

 

Speaking of things being dandies, I can't wait to hear Keith Jackson calling a Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, one of the true treasures of being a football fan.

If Texas can smack up Michigan, which I fully expect them to do and the gameday crowd agrees with me, the Big XII will have a winning record in bowls which is better than last year where they went 2-5.

I like that Tennessee has so many capable quarterbacks to choose from for next year. It's one thing to have to scramble for a replacement for an outgoing player, it's another to have too many good players to choose between.

Will "Capital One" ever get over as a bowl name? I doubt it. It's ALWAYS the citrus bowl for people, even though it's been the C1 bowl for about 3 years now.
