New Years Day Bowl Games.

All my teams; Illinois, Florida and Hawaii lost.

At least you had the comfort of your couch. I actually made an overnight trip to Orlando to watch the Gators lose.

I wouldn't want to be on the team this off-season.

All I can say is

I'm the opposite! Most of my teams won: USC, Michigan, Mizzou, Texas Tech and Tennessee. I was very disappointed in Hawaii's performance, though.

While not so great a bowl season this year as last, in my opinion, at least the Pac-10 made a decent showing at 4-2 this time around!

Now then... go West Virginia, and I have no idea who I'm supposed to pull for on Monday [huh]

 

[Bud-n-Texas]

I like you was disappointed in Hawaii's performance. I had hoped for a better game. As an old coach, I hate to see any team blown out and embarrassed. I spent part of my childhood on Oahu and have a niece that attends UH. That having been said, the rest of my childhood was in Ga. and I went to UGA. My youngest graduated Ga Tech last year and now is in grad school. As for Monday, I have to pull for the SEC (LSU). It has proved itself as a true power in college football.

I'm thinking that I'll be pulling for LSU as well, but being somewhat beholden to to tradition, I do like to see a strong Big 10. However, I think that other OSU is perhaps a bit full of themselves, and I like the way LSU has played over the past few seasons.

On behalf of nearly all the Gator fans I know, thank you very much for shutting June Jones up.lol

I'm a big time University of Michigan football fan :fing28:. My dad has had season tickets since 1977. I'm even thinking about getting a yellow fedora for wearing to the games for the "Maize Outs" lol

Congrats LSU!
Way to keep it in the SEC family!


Poor, poor bucknuts.

:rage:

Despite the fact that I'd usually prefer the Big Ten to win, I'm glad LSU won...I like Les Miles (...a former Wolverine ) And I despise Ohio State. Especially since they've been putting a whoopin' on Michigan as of late. :eusa_doh:

It's time for Division I playoffs.

USC vs. LSU would have been a game.

I agree...on both counts. As far as I am concerned, once they completely ruined the traditional bowl game format, they should have went directly to a playoff. I hate the way they have it now.

Now that the President of UGA has reversed his position and come out in favor of a playoff, I think it will gather steam, and we could see a change in 2010.

Amen.

But nevermind UGA's president; the Pac 10 and Big Ten commissioners are still griping about it and I have absolutely no idea why. Well, I can actually understand why the Big Ten would, but the Pac 10 has no excuses!

College ball has begun, my favorite sporting pastime. Football goes hand in hand with tailgating, a happy combination of two of my foremost favorites. Each year a group of us- thirty, all together- converge for a UCLA game at the Rose Bowl. This year it'll be for the Cal game.

We caravan up, parking at the nearby Aquatics Center. In the shade of e-z-ups, we barbeque tri-tip, sausages, and some steaks. Several of us bring about a million tacos and tamales from a local restaurant, others supply desserts; for a couple of years we had some guys bring “appetizers” but we’re so carnivorous that we focus pretty heavily on beef, pork, and chicken.

After the game, while thousands are trying exit, we set up the stove and cook up chili, serve it over cornbread muffins, and eat up any left bbq from the pregame meal.

It is byob, and while tastes vary, the generosity is remarkable.

Charlie Weiss cost Notre Dame the win today. They were running the ball just fine and could have run out the clock,
but no, they abandoned what was working and started flinging the ball downfield. End of drive.:eusa_doh:
Michigan got the ball back with 2+ minutes left and scored with 22 seconds left to win the game.:rage: Charlie Weiss calls every offensive play, so this loss is on his head. ND should show him the door.:eusa_clap

 

[Helysoune]

I feel pretty sure that ol' CW is on his way out after this season if things don't turn around for the Irish. But as for me, other than Notre Dame, the only team I follow is the Buckeyes (obviously ) and am quite disappointed in tonight's game.

T'was a good game; I thought y'all would get blown out.[huh]
