Tough game. I hate the Canes. Wish we were in a New Years game.

The fact that NW got picked for a better bowl than us is just another sign of how messed up the bowl system is. That said, this is one of the better non BCS bowl games with 2 ranked teams facing off. Should be a good game and I can't wait to watch it. Need a big game from Clay I think to have a chance in this one.

If you guys need something to watch during the commercial break, the BIGTEN's best basketball team will be playing Penn St on ESPN2 @ 8.

Big stop on 4th down. After that opening kickoff and quick score I started to buy into the hype that there is too much speed in the ACC/SEC and we would be outmatched, I like what we have done since then for the most part.

And as I say that they fumble, but I hope they review that, looks like he was down to me.

See I'm a fan of replay and I love the college replay system, anytime its close or questionable they just look at it to make sure they get the call right. I don't care about slowing the game down a little bit.

Just checked the listings and it turns out that the team playing Penn St is actually Minnesota. Mistakes happen.

Yeah, hit those free throws and the game is iced instead WVU is going to win. Tough loss.
