2013-14 Bowl Thread

[Deathofthebambino]

Forget the stiff arm.  The burst of speed immediately after the stiff arm was shocking.

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

Teams favored by double digits during the bowl season are a combined 2-5 against the spread (assuming Bama doesn't win this one by 18 points).  Baylor and Arizona State have already lost outright so if Oklahoma holds, that would be 3 out of 7 games that a double digit underdog has won.  That shouldn't happen in 20 games, never mind 8.
 
I parlayed Oklahoma with the over tonight, following up a parlay with UCF and the over last night.  I wish every bowl game had a double digit spread. 
 
And there's a td by Henry.  That kid is the real deal.

Is there any Over Under trend with double digit favorites? I would assume this means more over, but not necessarily I guess.

Why dont QBs snap it with 1-3 seconds left on the playclock in these situations?

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

What a huge third-down conversion. Sweet running by the receiver.

 

[Infield Infidel]

What a call, OU knew they were bringing the house

only logic I can think of is the defense is expecting them to wait so they can get a slight advantage if they snap it a little earlier

You can also catch the defense on personnel mismatches and prevent substitutions. 

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Bama can't figure out that screen.

Huge hold missed there, too

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Dernell, I think you usually see the over get hit if the underdog covers/wins.  However, if it ends up being the blowout that was predicted, the under is usually a good bet because usually the team leading just sits on the lead, takes time off the clock and runs it out.  When an underdog is going to win a game like that, usually, they have to put a bunch of points on the board.  When I like an underdog in a double digit spread, I usually like the over and regularly parlay it.  When I like the favorite, sometimes, I'll take the under in a tease.  I don't like taking unders as a matter of practice, so that makes it easier for me to swallow.

HAHA

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Austin better be calling St. Nick in the next 30 minutes.

 

[Luis Taint]

Saban's tears warm my soul on this cold night.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

I wanted to see bama get a chance to tie it...until I saw Saben on the field. What an asshole he is.

 

[mabrowndog]

I have no idea what Saban's so pissed about. The PI penalty was beyond blatant.

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

I don't understand that timeout by OU?

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

I don't understand that timeout by OU?


Didn't v want to take a penalty?

 

[sachmoney]

I'd take Clinton Dix on the Pats in a second.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

So unless CJ takes this to the house,
 
 
screen pass to Cooper, or fly to Cooper?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Uggh, you just know that Bama is going to tie this up.

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

I'd punt this out of bounds or out the back of the end zone.  Don't risk a return. 

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

If Henry doesn't touch the ball in these last 60 seconds it will be a crime. 

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

HOLY CRAP

 

[Luis Taint]

Lol

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Holy shit, did he get in?

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

HAHAHAHAHA

 

[bankshot1]

Roll Tide

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

McCarron's girlfriend didn't appear to like that. Hahahaha. Hilarious.

 

[scottyno]

just fall on it you idiot, scoring gives bama a chance

 

[mabrowndog]

Now THAT is how you bury a motherfucker.
 
Tremendous.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Hahaha hahaha

 

[sachmoney]

FAT GUY TOUCHDOWN

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

bad coaching by stoops. That DL should have gone down at the 2.
 
Partial credit to BSF

 

[ifmanis5]

LOL

 

[Time to Mo Vaughn]

That's a really disappointing end to a great game.

I mean OU deserves the win, I just would have liked to see Bama take it down closer with more pressure.

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Dumb pay, he almost lost control of the ball

 

[ifmanis5]

Bama OL got pwnd today.

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

What nut punch to that asshole Saban.  Beautiful.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

They sorely need a "decline the TD" option.
 
Why try to tackle him?
 
Dumb dumb dumb all around.
 
 
paging Barrett and Fluker, paging Barrett and Fluker.

 

[sachmoney]

McCarron's girlfriend didn't appear to like that. Hahahaha. Hilarious.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

CJ return TD, onside kick success, and Cooper screen for TD too much to ask for?

 

[loshjott]

CJ return TD, onside kick success, and Cooper screen for TD too much to ask for?

Yes.

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

Hell of a game by Knight.  Many times I thought he'd be sacked and he would make a great play to convert. 

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

LULZ

 

[mabrowndog]

HA HA HA HA HA HA. How fucking fitting is that?

 

[Yeah Jeets]

You can't expect a college fat guy to turn down a TD in a BCS game. He probably just saw the ball and blacked out. 

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Wow. Haha

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

CJ return TD, onside kick success, and Cooper screen for TD too much to ask for?

 
bizarro

 

[mascho]

That might be the ultimate fuck you.

 

[Luis Taint]

There is your nut punch to Saban, by Stoops.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

You know who I gained a tremendous amount of respect for in the last 4 hours,
 
 
Josh Heupel.
 
 
As someone who hates the Sooners, and was not a fan of his, tremendous job.
 
Knight will never repeat tonight's performance.
