I don't think the Badger would've been able to beat Tennessee the way they played the last few weeks of the season (Michigan game doesn't count, Wolverines were playing at half speed)... hopefully enough people will get healthy over the next month that they can play like they did at the start of the season.

I hope so too, because if I don't get my money's worth in Tampa, I'll flip my s**t.

Does pulling out nailbiters over UNLV and The Citadel count as "good"?

They are one of the more underachieving teams in the nation this year and while Donovan put up some decent numbers he has the arm strength of a 4th grade girl.

And I am a devout fan that was pumping this up 2 years back as a year where we'd have a stone wall defense. Although I was expecting Evridge to start as well when I still had those thoughts last year...

Well said on both counts. The Badgers were my #1 disappointment in CFB this year. Silly me thought the winner of the UM/Wisconsin game was going to be undefeated and playing in the BCS title game. They played all year like a team that thought they could just flip the switch and take over games, but they really only did that a couple of times.

F**king great game between Boise State and East Carolina today. I cannot believe the Pirates pulled it out; I thought for sure Boise State would force OT. But a tremendous effort from both sides.

Bowl games are pretty much going as expected otherwise. With the exception of USC, look for the Pac-10 to mail in most of their bowl games again.

Motor City Bowl turned out to be a good one. Really happy with the bowls I've watched so far.

Fantastic game between Purdue and Central Michigan. Not much defense, but it sure was a fun game to watch. Dan Lefevour is a freaking studhorse.

Anyone know the name of that guy that touched the ball? If Texas loses this game he will be famous.

Texas sacked Rudy, forced a fumble, got a big return and was set to go up 28-0. But some schmuck named Chris on the Longhorns coaching staff. Stepped onto the field and touched the ball which resulted in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, half the distance to the goal, 4th and 3 ASU. ASU scored on their next play 21-7, Texas lost momentum.

Looks like Texas is going to hold on and win anyways (barring a miracle which usually happen in Holiday Bowls) so "Chris" and his team are going to end up laughing this off.
