Bowl season kicks into hi gear today with 3 games. Didn't plan on watching any, but some plans fell through and I might watch the first 2 before the Bucks game.

Marshall v Ohio-meh
Pitt v UNC-might just watch to see Pitt's frosh RB
BC v USC-this might get ugly

Just announced during the Pitt game, Urban Meyer is stepping down as head coach. Hmmmmm.

Yeah just saw that. Pretty crazy, he must be in pretty bad health. I thought he would be there for the next 10 years or so, unless he decided to jump to the NFL. Urban will probably take the next few years off to get healthy then take the ND job once Kelly disappoints.

That was really unexpected, I hope he is okay.

That's a shocker. I knew he had a heart problem but I figured he would just take a one year leave of absence.

Maybe he just can't go on without Tebow.

WOW Idaho.

in a epic battle between 2 terrible defenses, Idaho wins!

What an effort by the Nebraska defense. Before the last drive Arizona had compiled 37 yards on 38 offensive plays. Finished the game with less than 100 yards and no points.

BTW, holy Mike Iupati. As I am an avid follower of the NFL draft, I had heard of him, but I had not seen the Vandals play this year until their bowl game. The guy was annihilating defenders in the run game and moving onto the next like they were nothing. Granted, it was Bowling Green and quite clearly neither defense was stopping the opposing offense, but it was still impressive.

Back to back KR for TDs in the Houston Air Force game.

I bet you guys are all watching the Insight Bowl right now. It's such a sweet bowl that you have to have the NFL Network to watch it!

Gophs are up 3-0 though!

NW making a great come back. Hopefully they can win, I really want the BIGTEN to do well this year. Gotta re-gain some respect around the nation. My Gophs didn't help things by fumbling in the red zone late in the game and ultimately losing by 1...

Crazy NW game.

This is one of the most amazing games I've seen. Go NU.

Insane game.

Yeah that Northwestern game was crazy. Penn State doing well against LSU.

That field for the Capital One Bowl is amazing.

Reminds me of what Heinz Field usually looks like towards the end of the season.
