They were trying not to slip in the draft?

As someone who works for the federal government, I feel like I should never be in my office at the same time that Navy is playing a football game.

FTFM.

I've watched the Navy - MTSU game for all of 5 minutes and all I've noticed is what a bunch of dirty stupid mother fuckers play for Middle Tennessee State.

JonInMiddleGA · 12-30-2013, 02:47 PM

I really oughta be more excited (or at least interested) in this GT-Ole Miss game.

bob · 12-30-2013, 04:31 PM

Sadly this game is going exactly how I expected. 20-7 Ole Miss, looking to score again.

JonInMiddleGA · 12-30-2013, 05:18 PM

For the love of all that's holy ... will the powers that be PLEASE put Georgia Tech fans out of Paul Johnson's misery?

He's like the Reggie Ball of coaches.

bob · 12-30-2013, 05:28 PM

Makes sense - our two stops don't count due to offensive penalties, then they convert

bob · 12-30-2013, 05:29 PM

Frustrated

bob · 12-30-2013, 05:41 PM

Hate to be in charge of selling GT season tickets next year: home games against Wofford and Georgia Southern, plus the year with the craptastic ACC lineup + Clemson. At least the fans will be pumped for traveling to Tulane to play.

Shitty home schedules = shitty home attendance = no money to dispose of crappy coach. Rinse and repeat.

Oh, but at least we keep the bowl streak going.

Hey, at least there's two possibly winnable games on the slate.

I'm not so sure - Georgia Southern is much more disciplined in running their option than GT is.

Buccaneer · 12-30-2013, 06:17 PM

When I got home, my son was finishing up watching the Ole Miss game (he has not missed a single bowl game and will not since he doesn't go back to school until the 7th). I commented to him that it has probably been 12 years since GT has completed a forward pass. Maybe one of these years, they will progress to at least the 1980s.

digamma · 12-30-2013, 06:23 PM

And has at least as much D1 talent.

cartman · 12-30-2013, 09:14 PM

That was the outcome I was afraid of when they announced Oregon as the team Texas would face in the Alamo Bowl. But the defense played much better than I was expecting, and the offense was abysmal.

And that ends the 16 year Mack Brown era. The good times far outweighed the bad. 2nd winning-est coach in Texas history, and #10 all time.

Washington RB Bishop Sankey to enter NFL Draft - CBSSports.com

sad to see him go but don't blame him. ASF gone as well.

Stat of the game: McCoy finished with 48 passing yards and no touchdowns. The two passes he completed to Oregon defenders were returned for a total of 75 yards and two touchdowns.

Holy hell.

In town for the Heart of Dallas Bowl, of course. But yeah, that would be something... first UNT steals our terrific president and then they'd turn around and steal our coach.

JonInMiddleGA · 12-31-2013, 10:33 PM

Peach Bowl has been simply ridiculous

sterlingice · 12-31-2013, 10:42 PM

I was trying to find this thread. Saw a few minutes in the first half and saw it wasn't much of a game with something like 24-10 Duke. But now A&M has a 52-48 lead with Duke with the ball

SI

sterlingice · 12-31-2013, 10:42 PM

...And it's over

SI

JonInMiddleGA · 12-31-2013, 10:43 PM

Tragic that such horrible officiating mars such an amazing game.

The final couple of minutes were called like the refs had cash riding on it.

No kidding. And it's not like it was a big name bowl or anything where it mattered a lot who won. Obviously it mattered to A&M and Duke but not like a high profile game.

SI

Izulde · 12-31-2013, 11:43 PM

Yeah, I was so pissed at the refs screwing the ending of a great game, it's ridiculous. And the Johnny Football fellating by the announcers, while expected, also irritated.

bob · 01-01-2014, 07:10 AM

Couldn't watch - what happened?

mauchow · 01-01-2014, 07:24 AM

Watching the 2005 Iowa/LSU Cap One Bowl on BTN right now in preparation for the Outback today. This was a great game if you havent seen it. LSU is down by 12 with 12 minutes left in the game right now. JaMarcus Russell has entered the game at QB.

Cant wait for the Outback.

Go Hawks!

Thankful for a 10 win season for UCLA after dismantling VT is a rather boring way

Izulde · 01-01-2014, 11:46 AM

Dear Heart of Dallas Bowl announcers, I realize this is a de facto home game for North Texas, but there's more than one team in this game.

Wait UNLV plays football. I thought they only had the basketball Running Rebels.

tarcone · 01-01-2014, 12:19 PM

Scary start for Iowa. LSU ran it down our throats for a TD. And Iowa just punted on the 1st possession.

Im nervous.

Sure seems like it sometimes.

7-7 at the half. Been a tight, close game with neither team able to break through other than one drive, and we'd be up 7-0 if our true frosh punt returner hadn't fumbled the ball.

Patriots12 · 01-01-2014, 01:16 PM

I think having a 7-5 mountain west team against an 8-4 conference USA team on the same day as the rose bowl is a disgrace to the college football tradition.

Izulde · 01-01-2014, 01:32 PM

That's nice. I don't. With the NCAA and college football's long history of corruption and pursuit of the dollar above everything else, being offended at a minor bowl game on New Year's Days is pretty silly and petty IMO.

Patriots12 · 01-01-2014, 02:07 PM

Considering the rich and prestigious history of the rose bowl, why would you have two non AQ teams playing on the same day as the most important bowl game. I wish they would have the cotton before the rose bowl.

Patriots12 · 01-01-2014, 02:27 PM

Why can't defensive backs hold the ball as they cross the goal line. It's stupid but it's not that hard

mauchow · 01-01-2014, 02:37 PM

Whew. Gonna be a good finish in the Cap One.

Badgers wout this decent QB though. Phillips is close to worthless..so our RBs will need to be big in laat ten minutes.

Patriots12 · 01-01-2014, 03:06 PM

I feel bad for Georgia. They came into the season a top 5 team, the favorite to win the sec east, a heisman trophy candidate in Aaron Murray. But injuries to Murray and their top 3 receivers and top 2 running backs just destroy their season. Too bad Nebraska won; I just can't stand Bo Pelini.

Lathum · 01-01-2014, 03:29 PM

Let the conspiracy theories begin. LSU -7.5 against Iowa and the refs overturn a call that should never have been to reverse a recovered fumble and let Iowa keep the ball on the LSU 5 with just over a minute left and LSU leading by 14. Iowa of course then scores the next play

More sad, it is currently the Big Ten's only bowl win.

Crapshoot · 01-01-2014, 05:26 PM

MSU gets a gift on a pass interference call in the end zone, but our genius of a head coach calls for the Wildcat from our own 5 yard line with no motion. 10-7 Stanford right now.

SirFozzie · 01-01-2014, 05:28 PM

Gift Pick Six right there.

Matthean · 01-01-2014, 06:51 PM

I doubt Shaw will be getting looks at other jobs after this game. It feels like MSU should be up by more and can still easily pull away.
