The Pin Stripe Bowl is a good one.

 

[runkpanole]

LACES OUT

 

[FSUSarah]

Hopefully Duke pulls it out

 

[runkpanole]

Not so sure that wasn't good. Crazy game. Happy Duke won for the ACC, still wish Cutcliffe would fall in a ditch.

 

[F4Gary]

Here come the Chokies. Doing a nice job of Clemsoning.

Well, almost. The Fighting Franks held on.

How does a 5-7 Nebraska team even get into a bowl?

How does a 5-7 Nebraska team even get into a bowl?

Apparently the better question was how did a bad UCLA team even at 8-4 get into a bowl.

 

[CC0492]

Apparently the better question was how did a bad UCLA team even at 8-4 get into a bowl.

Three 5-7 teams made it to bowls this year. Something about their APR and how they finished the season, or something like that. Nebraska was very close to winning 8 games this year. They will be much improved next year.

 

[FSUSarah]

Military Bowl on now. Something called the Quick Lane Bowl on later.

[FSUSarah]

Haha I have no idea

 

[CC0492]

Lots of defenses stayed home so far this bowl season. Dang!

 

[F4Gary]

Wow, Carolina is trying to unload the whole clip into their foot. Terrible.
Plus these announcers could have their noses any farther up Baylor's butt. I hate Briles and Baylor.

 

[CC0492]

Clemson just lost 3 players for failing drug tests. Smh

 

[FSUSarah]

One of them was suspended in the beginning of the season for coke possession.

 

[rhurner]

Yes....now ESPN is ALL over Clemson and their history of drug use and ....wait....... I mean ESPN is all over that Oklahoma guy (Mixon) who punched the girl in the face and how yesterday he said that he's had no regrets and...... wait.....nope....can't find anything. Never mind.

Hopefully we get to see the SEC go 0-3 and I'd be happy for more USC turmoil as well. So I've got my rooting interests aligned...Go Tigers/Wolfpack/Cardinals/Badgers!

 

[FSUSarah]

Me too. But really as long as the Pack wins it'll be a good day here in Mississippi!

Bowl Game Quotes:

When asked if he'd recruit an atheist player Dabo said "it's my job to win games. If I played the best Christians I wouldnt be sittin here"

Jimbo likes his team: "If this team was a person, I would hang out with it."

 

[CC0492]

Memphis about to get blown out by the AU pussycats. Paxton Lynch is really the top QB prospect this year? I don't see it.

 

[FSUSarah]

The ref just called NC State, North Dakota State....wow.

 

[RancheroNole]

The ref just called NC State, North Dakota State....wow.

Was it Ron Cherry?

 

[FSUSarah]

Wow...what an absolute horse manure call.

 

[DFSNOLE]

Was it Ron Cherry?

Pac 12 officials I think.

 

[NoleLizards]

Pathet-ACC.

 

[billanole]

Oh law, the pack got pummeled. Jeez, they and the heels did not represent.
Lousiville scored first, but they are losing defenders one after another...

That targeting call was complete BS. Can't hit someone hard in the chest with your shoulder now I guess.

Yeah, the game is being changed as we watch. The kid for Nebraska is another example...these kids were basically just " laying a lick" as has been done for decades. Players are being disqualified for clean, solid, snot knocking football plays in which they are hitting/tackling as coached. Shoot man, we laid people out in PE on more solid hits than what is being called these days...
Just like what now constitutes a "catch" by a receiver, I have no concept of what the officials will call in many instances.

 

[runkpanole]

Louisville is getting screwed by the officials.

 

[RTM58]

Jimbo looks like he's been hitting the gym...

Jimbo Fisher's divorce finalized
"The case began rushing toward resolution in October, when Coach Fisher’s camp filed his intention to depose as a witness former University of Florida star wide receiver Taylor Jacobs, a Tallahassee native who moved back after five years in the NFL and a championship with the University of Florida Gators in 2000. Jacobs was never deposed because the case started moving fast."

 

[billanole]

Dem is good ones. Go Noles!

They just call the violence, they don't actually know what to call

 

[F4Gary]

Can Louisville pull this out?

 

[Fijimn]

They are trying to give it away

TCU QB Trevone Boykin arrested overnight after a fight in a bar and striking an officer. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
