The bowl games have been pretty :boring: so far. I don't expect anything exciting tonight from annually overrated Notre Dame vs FSU. But Baylor vs Washington should be good as I expect Baylor to put a big score up.

Alshon Jeffery... my oh my!

Professor 01-02-2012 02:17 PM

Alshon Jeffery... why oh why!

Professor 01-02-2012 03:33 PM

Not too shabby. 11 wins. What were the final records of the real USC and real Carolina?

invisiblewar 01-02-2012 03:44 PM

Go Gators!

Professor 01-02-2012 04:42 PM

:crickets: :crickets: Jawja. 4 losses and you manage to win the East????

Professor 01-02-2012 04:52 PM

Ducks got some serious money... they have a new cool helmet every game.

imj0257 01-02-2012 07:04 PM

^ Normally, yes. Do not like their helmets this game. Too over-the-top imo. Then again they have like 10 different helmets each season.

Mr Marco 01-02-2012 07:58 PM

As a Eugene, Oregon UofO native;

congratulations Oregon DUCKS!

2012 Rose Bowl Champions!

Trees do break... T. Woods can testify.

That was an awesome day of bowl games, especially the Outback, Fiesta and Rose Bowls.

Today's game vs Michigan and VT - two teams that shouldn't even be in a BCS Bowl - can't live up to yesterday

Agreed. And this year's orange bowl is just as worthless.

Professor 01-03-2012 09:58 AM

I'm a SEC fan, but in retrospect, after watching the games yesterday, I think an Oregon/LSU or OSU/LSU would be more entertaining.

Rockstar21 01-03-2012 10:09 AM

oregon showed their worth against us already..

OSU's defense would have been their downfall.. they can obviously score, but they can stop other teams from putting up points, which would have been an issue.

Bama, still is the best opponent in my opinion... fair? maybe not, but still accurate.

Professor 01-03-2012 10:40 AM

And if Bama beats LSU, I think you have to carve the NC into pieces like a pizza.

Rockstar21 01-03-2012 10:55 AM

if anything (which i just think whoever wins should get it) it should be split into halves... nobody outside of this game deserves a piece. :2cents:

I think Oregon showed last year that finesse cannot match up against smash mouth football. Sure the Ducks are fast and nimble, but when you punch them in the teeth, they fall over too easily. I think the same would go with OSU. The athleticism of the SEC can cover any caliber receiver, and the strength can push anyone around. That is why the SEC has won the last 5 BCS NCs and will win its sixth in-a-row this year.

If OSU had led the entire game last night and won by more than 8 points I would disagree, but leading for no amount of time and winning on two missed FGs doesn't give you much momentum. They don't deserve it IMHO.

imj0257 01-03-2012 01:17 PM

Hey A&M squandered a 2nd half lead yet again but managed to hold on and win this time! :woot:


:nervous: at next season.

Professor 01-03-2012 07:04 PM

Dumb Sugar and Orange bowls playing ACC trash.

Professor 01-03-2012 07:32 PM

Unbelievable... every bowl game I've seen the team calling the coin toss has called "tails" and it's been "heads" every time.

imj0257 01-03-2012 07:34 PM

:snicker:


Oh. 6 games left. Here are the standings for the Bowl Pick'em:

JS + MS3 obviously didn't get his picks in.

Professor 01-03-2012 07:39 PM

At least last place is 1st loser :tomato:

JS + XES 01-03-2012 07:46 PM

shit totally forgot about that :tomato:

imj0257 01-04-2012 09:10 AM

I would be scared to be a college kicker in one of the remaining bowl games. Kickers have been pretty :turd:y this bowl season lol.

Rockstar21 01-04-2012 09:36 AM

i wanted to get this tshirt, but im not tall enough. :sad:

Meh, I have hope. Really, we could lose 4 games next year and justifiably be ranked in the top 25.

Do you know who was calling plays on Sat? Honestly, I think if we had not seen the other 5 losses this year, there would have been no concern on Sat. We put up 27 unanswered and they responded with 15. We respond with a field goal, and everyone questions if we almost blew it. Any other season, that is a sure-handed win. And hey, 10 points in the third quarter? That is a victory in and of itself!

Rockstar21 01-04-2012 02:58 PM

just sit back and eat the :popcorn:

5 days!!!


imj0257 01-04-2012 09:31 PM

49-20 WV at half :what:

NOBODY could have expected this.

1slo23 01-05-2012 11:09 AM

Looking forward to Arkansas and Kansas State tomorrow.

Rockstar21 01-05-2012 01:01 PM

arky turned out to be softer than earlier anticipated... but i think they dominate kansas st..

Rockstar21 01-05-2012 01:49 PM

some interesting facts you may not know about LSU this season.

LSU has beaten the winners of the *Rose, *Orange, (Cotton if Arky wins), Chick-Fil-A, Music City, Gator, and of course the BCS contenders Alabama on the road this season.

LSU's Punt return Defense has allowed a total of 6 yards this entire season.

LSU's defense has not allowed more than 1 TD in the last 9 straight games.

oo7spy 01-05-2012 01:49 PM

They played 7 away games? :sure:

I wouldn't be surprised if Arkansas wins, but a domination would surprise me.

When it's your rival, and see the pounding USC has given in the last three years, I did.

Before 7:30PM EST, I am taking Alabama straight-up over LSU tonight for $20 a bet.

For those that have bet with me in the past, you know if I lose, it will be in your Paypal account tomorrow just as the ones who have paid me.

The bet is not confirmed until I PM you to get each other's Paypal addresses.


Also as a side bet, I will predict the exact score before the game begins for $5.

Good Luck
