The Most Wonderful Time of the Year: Bowl Season 2011-12

Post #41 » by **Icness** » Tue Jan 3, 2012 12:14 am

Mark Richt deserves to be fired for not even trying to gain yards and settling for the long field goal on 3rd down. Unforgivable mistake.

I'm getting tired just watching all the long plays in the Rose Bowl. The Wisconsin defenders are aware they are in fact allowed to shed a block, right?

Bret Bielema is now doing everything in his power to lose this game. Yay.

Oregon plays football like Paul Westhead coached basketball: defense consists of getting the ball out of the hoop and up the court as quickly as possible for the next offensive set.

It's almost as if Abberderis was trying to leave the ball for the Ducks there.

Not sure he recovered that before he slid out of bounds.

If only Bielema didn't waste that second timeout.

This one is infinitely more heartbreaking because the team was so damn talented this year.

Ugh...

All three losses were of the gut punch variety. They're what, 20 seconds away from being undefeated?

And Bielema really had a hand in losing all three games. I understand that Abberderis fumbled that ball, and that the defense didn't play up to par this year, but Bielema's (Please Use More Appropriate Word) clock management tactics really set up these losses.

So f*cking aggravating.

I love Brent Musburger. One of the thrills of my professional life was meeting him.

Agree on the clock management issue too.

The Pokes got lucky last night at the end of regulation.

Hokies got robbed on the overtime TD catch disallowed. Two less secure catches cut the review mustard earlier but that one goes away. I expected a lot more points but a nice win for TSUN.

dont care, coaches fault for calling pussy plays and trusting a freshman kicker to win a game for him

Brendan Gibbons (the Michigan kicker) is one of my fraternity brother's younger brother. He goes on and on about how awesome it is that his little brother is playing for this major program. Then I comeback at him with, "But he's the kicker..."

So, last night, Brendan ends up being the "hero" and I get text after text saying 'hahaha what now' and the like. Then, I came back with 'congrats, but he's still a kicker.'

That bad call messed up the pool I'm in

I put my money on WV for this game. :lol:

I knew Clemson would have their asses wiped but 49 points in the first half?

For some reason I am friends with a lot of WV alums and they were going freaking crazy last night.

That was the only bowl confidence game pick that I valued over 20 that I missed so far. I had Clemson as the #26. I clung to their impressive early run way too long I guess. I still have two other high values left, Northern Illinois at #31 and Kansas State at #23. Unfortunately I missed almost every pick in the 11-20 range

It's Thursday about 8:30 pm.

Is West Virginia still scoring?
