Bowl Thread (Non-UConn)

[How Sway?!]

Score is not representative of the game. At the end of the day, the talent disparity was too much for Boise but they showed they belong.

Does this price disparity make any sense to anyone here?

 

[Waquoit]

Nobody must like Notre Dame.

Could it be that the game is in New Orleans?

I knew this post was going to be here.

Still think the Pitt win was a good one for SMU? Or maybe Pitt just wasn’t that good?

Anyway…playing in the reliaquest bowl isn’t the same as playing in the playoffs. i don’t follow Bama…so i have no idea what their roster is today versus what it could have been.

That being said…let’s see how this game finishes out before claiming victory on the SMU and Indiana deserve their playoff selection over Alabama debate.

Alabama, Michigan Players Not Playing in the ReliaQuest Bowl

Just a year ago, Alabama and Michigan faced off with a national title on the line. Fast forward to now, and several key players won’t be suiting up for the ReliaQuest Bowl.

There was a lot of injuries and deaths, I imagine people are concerned about another attack. The reality is that any public event can be a target, but you cannot let terrorists control our lives.

Looks like they have decided to move the Sugar Bowl to tomorrow.

Needless to say, security will be extra-tight.

The most targeting targeting that ever happened is called not targeting??

It was the definition of targeting.

 

[Tdaley]

It’s targeting. Somehow in big games the rules change.

 

[Revrat]

You just cant have targeting with a review as a thing and not call that. Just gutless

 

[JMick]

It was the definition of targeting.

Whoever made that decision has to never work in sports again, right? I don't understand how you can make that call and not be permanently fired from your job. It's so bad it borders on criminal

I'm serious but is ESPN making that call or something? Are they desperate for Texas to win for ratings?

 

[DoctorWho85]

The end of this ASU TU game is freaking wild

 

[HCCForever]

And it just got wilder on Texas tying TD

 

[Tdaley]

How did that receiver get that open?

 

[DoctorWho85]

Man I was really hoping ASU could pull it off.

 

[Tdaley]

Great game!

 

[DoctorWho85]

Great game!

So far best game of the playoffs

 

[superjohn]

Seems strange they are still planning on playing the Sugar Bowl tomorrow.

ESPN and CFP are going to protect the SEC. They care more about that property than NCAAF.

Fans implicitly trust the integrity of the sport -- the buy in comes from a presumed fairness. The more that gets chipped away, the less people will tune in over time.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Wasn't it only about five or so weeks ago that Ryan Day had to get fired if Ohio St was ever going to be good again?

 

[Vowelguy]

Dang was hoping for all the SEC teams to eliminated in the QFs.

Texas almost choked it away.
