Bowl Games? Bowl Games! Game thread 2016-17

[twibnotes]

Were any of the conferences ridiculously overrated this year? Getting asked by ten big people.

Big's always a bit overrated, and I say that as a big ten fan. Huge schools, huge alumni bases, tons of media...always placed in big bowls.

If mich were to have beaten fsu (lost by one without best offensive and defensive player), not sure there's even a discussion about overrated anyway.

 

[natpastime162]

Never knew OPI was reviewable

 

[twibnotes]

This one is going to be high scoring - offenses finding their strides, and penn state very much a second half team

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

That's really close

 

[twibnotes]

Mcsorely is fun to watch - total gunslinger

 

[natpastime162]

That's really close

Don't think they have enough evidence either way

 

[Al Zarilla]

Can't have a one score game for two minutes? Guess not,

 

[canderson]

Pry will have an adjustment after the half to slow those fake screen looks PSU keeps falling for.

 

[Rico Guapo]

Thats a hell of a catch by Gesicki.

 

[Pesky Pole]

So after the two turnovers, nobody is stopping anyone ever again in this game?

 

[Ale Xander]

Why did the camera people move from the USC girls to Desmond?

 

[Al Zarilla]

How long has this halftime been?

 

[Ale Xander]

How long has this halftime been?

Same as all of them, 20 mins

 

[canderson]

USC's punter makes an appearance.

 

[Ale Xander]

Ridonkulous

 

[Al Zarilla]

Best game of the bowl season?

 

[terrynever]

One of the best things about college football is you get to see these 20-year-old running backs at their best, before the NFL wears them down.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

Not sure how I feel about Zombie Keith Jackson in the booth.

 

[canderson]

Barkley is a crazy athletic beast.

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Tough to see Keith Jackson like this

 

[canderson]

Keith Jackson sounds horrific.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Wow, he got real old real fast

 

[Marciano490]

This is making me sad. Did nobody talk to him before putting him on the air?

 

[canderson]

Did he say this is his first game since Vince Young beat USC?

 

[54thMA]

This is making me sad. Did nobody talk to him before putting him on the air?

Man, this is painful, please make it stop.

One of the all time greats and it's getting worse by the minute.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

He's a year younger than Vin Scully.

 

[Ale Xander]

If this game was on the 31st, I think I would have chosen KJ for the pool

 

[canderson]

LOL Godwin again.

 

[Ale Xander]

Godwin's law strikes again

 

[Vinho Tinto]

I just looked up videos on YouTube and Keith sounded better in October on Dan Patrick. Hopefully his age is being magnified by a temporary illness.

 

[Marciano490]

He's a year younger than Vin Scully.

Never retire. Never stop.

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

Hitting the 2nd half Penn St 13.5 over in 3.5 minutes is nice.

 

[canderson]

Never retire. Never stop.

Basically, yes.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Well that reminded me of something else...

 

[terrynever]

Godwin is a junior who just jumped about four rounds in the draft.

 

[natpastime162]

Well this game took a turn.

 

[Marciano490]

Guys if I'm ever in tears and you have a chance to talk about it on national tv, please only mention it once.

 

[canderson]

Crazy play

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Of course, that was clearly DPI too...

 

[JCizzle]

This is crazy, what a game

 

[Ale Xander]

Did he say this is his first game since Vince Young beat USC?

Judging by his voice, I'd say Bobby McAlister not VY

 

[canderson]

Of course, that was clearly DPI too...

extremely clear indeed.

 

[Ale Xander]

Somewhere Helen is saying no

 

[canderson]

3 plays
154 yards
3 TDs

Don't see that often

 

[twibnotes]

3 plays
154 yards
3 TDs

Don't see that often

I think you do sometimes in the PAC 12

 

[Ale Xander]

So sugar bowl is supposed to start in 30 mins

Are they delaying it or moving to deuce or u?

 

[Freddy Linn]

Brutal call.

 

[Philip Jeff Frye]

Wow, between the non call pass interference and now the cheap late hit call...

 

[PedroKsBambino]

What a horrible roughing call---I dislike USC but they have been completely hosed by refs this half. That three refs conferred on that basically says none know what they are doing. That was not a close call at all, and they all ultimately blew it in a big way

 

[LeftyTG]

PSU getting some big calls/non calls going their way.
