Bored 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 We finally get to the meat of the bowl season with 12 games in the next two days. The best match-up on New Year's Eve is the TAFKA Peach Bowl but probably the most intriguing match-up is the potential train wreck that will the Music City Bowl with the 36 suspended FSU players. For New Year's obviously the game that will generate the most interest is the Sugar Bowl as Hawaii tries to do their best Boise State impression against Georgia. After that we get a couple more BCS bowls and the two very silly MAC bowls before the MNC Game which there will be a separate thread for.

Agent_Bond34 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 Personally, I think it's about damn time we got into the heart of the bowl season. Bowl season has gone by pretty quick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 That depends on your point of view: bowl/football season can't end fast enough for me... Having said that, I will be rooting against Georgia for Hawaii in the Sugar, as well as for Georgia Tech in the Humanitarian, but there ain't no way in hell I'm watching either of them... But, I did go to Tech, so... Go Jackets! Piss on dem Dawgs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

devo 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 Penalties aside, Oregon and USF are having a heck of a game so far, tied at eleven with seven minutes remaining in the half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nogoodnick 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 Damn, if Oregon had figured out how to play like this a month ago they would be in a BCS game. Justin Roper was expected to be the 2nd or 3rd string QB next year, but he's playing well in his first start. This game is over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 This is probably the most shocking result of the bowl season so far. ECU beating Boise State was a bigger upset but I don't think anyone would think Oregon would handle USF the way they have after they went into the tank without Dixon. Glad I missed the Armed Forces Bowl as I would have been pissed to watch Cal comeback from 21-0 down to win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nogoodnick 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 I was the most surprised to see George Selvie being a complete non factor for the whole game. I don't even know if he has a tackle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danville_Wrestling 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 Nice to see hometown boy Jacob Tamme somewhat save the game on getting back that fumble and making FSU burn its last two timeouts. I must say that as a UK fan I am not used to actually getting to bowl games, much less winning two in a row but I'm very happy tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 Outback Bowl has been fun but the Cotton Bowl is showing why they need to have some sort of bowl selection committee. There's no reason a Top 10 team should be playing an unranked team in a bowl game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 The refs completely screwed up that sequence. No way they got the first down and should have added about 6 to 8 seconds if it supposedly was a first down. And how would replay confirm it? Well none of it matters, interception salts it away for the Vols. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hogan Made Wrestling 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 Michigan stuffs Florida at the 3, then blocks the field goal. Huge play for Michigan gets the ball to Florida's 1 yard line. A lot of people seemed to think this one wouldn't even be competitive. EDIT: and then Mike Hart of all people fumbles. Still 14-14. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
