Bowl Games? Bowl Games! Game thread 2016-17

[Clears Cleaver]

After watching Michigan I really want to bet Clemson, except for the fact that they are Clemson. And I think its all on the QB and he hasn't been particularly consistent this year

 

[johnmd20]

Hands like feet.

 

[johnmd20]

Nice pass bro. And tOSU starts out hot.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

My goodness that a terrible decision by Watson

 

[Fred in Lynn]

It was a poor throw. Too late after the break and too short.

 

[johnmd20]

Durbin shaky, but that was a long kick. Should have gone for it anyway.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Tough kick with those hash marks.

Think it actually nicked the upright.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I think the original most interesting guy was way more interesting than this poser.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

when Watson is alone in shotgun OSU is rushing four and have TWO linebackers shadowing him!

 

[Fred in Lynn]

His slip didn't cause the interception. He slipped trying to get back to an under thrown ball. Slip cost him a TD there.

 

[Ed Hillel]

I think the original most interesting guy was way more interesting than this poser.

They should have switched it up to Least Interesting Guy.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

I think the original most interesting guy was way more interesting than this poser.

So true. I miss that guy, who really was interesting: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/02/07/interesting

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

New guy looks like Michael Phelps.

 

[johnmd20]

That dude was too old. He wasn't interesting, he was on cumudin and lipitor.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I find those drugs to be immensely interesting.

Of course, I'm no longer the targeted demographic.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

New guy looks like Michael Phelps.

Totally agree. Now that would have been interesting.

 

[johnmd20]

Durbin the douche.

Vegas is pissed right now

@Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat

The over/under is 58 I believe

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Nice grab.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

good throw and that is a TD for Clemson...yeesh

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Big first down.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Vegas is pissed right now

Why? Vegas usually likes underdogs because casual bettors usually like favorites. And Vegas usually likes unders because casual bettors usually like overs

 

[Ed Hillel]

Pretty brave to be the decoy who leaps over the pile and gets hammered.

 

[snowmanny]

Who is that coach throwing things around like a whiny bitch?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Wait.....seriously? Fried chicken and fruit in the summer is pretty fantastic.

I don't eat food with pits. Even if I did, chicken and peaches sounds like the end of days.

 

[twibnotes]

Who is that coach throwing things around like a whiny bitch?

Should have been an unsportsmanlike penalty

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Peaches are the greatest fruit ever. I will not argue this.

 

[johnmd20]

Peaches are the greatest fruit ever. I will not argue this.

Yeah, peaches are great, but peaches mixed with chicken seems unsavory. Disgusting. And potentially poisonous.

 

[johnmd20]

Ohio State is taking lessons from Durbin on how to suck.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Didn't know Fred Savage was doing Honda spots.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

Watson is not very accurate on intermediate (NFL) routes. for those who watched him, what are his strenghts as a passer?

 

[bankshot1]

Ohio State is taking lessons from Durbin on how to suck.

Clemson looks too fast for tOSU.

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I think it's arm strength

 

[Clears Cleaver]

Thanks...I've seen nothing tonight that suggests he's an NFL quarterback. tons of guys have big arms but he's not accurate nor makes very good decisions. His only meaningful completions tonight have been first read quick releases

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Thanks...I've seen nothing tonight that suggests he's an NFL quarterback. tons of guys have big arms but he's not accurate nor makes very good decisions. His only meaningful completions tonight have been first read quick releases

Isn't he a little reminiscent of Jameis Winston?

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

I don't think he projects well to the NFL at all.

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Thanks...I've seen nothing tonight that suggests he's an NFL quarterback. tons of guys have big arms but he's not accurate nor makes very good decisions. His only meaningful completions tonight have been first read quick releases

I've seen almost every game he's played in three years and I agree with you. He dreams of being Vince Young.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

LOL at that mark on third and five. he was like a yard shot

 

[Clears Cleaver]

I've seen almost every game he's played in three years and I agree with you. He dreams of being Vince Young.

thanks. I haven't seen him play much at all, maybe part of the ND game. but he was projected as a top pick and I just have not seen it at all. but again, its the second quarter of the national semifinal

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

That was a first down?

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

Thanks...I've seen nothing tonight that suggests he's an NFL quarterback. tons of guys have big arms but he's not accurate nor makes very good decisions. His only meaningful completions tonight have been first read quick releases

I don't see a big arm either. And my guess is that he measures a lot closer to 6' than the 6'2" he is listed at.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

Isn't he a little reminiscent of Jameis Winston?

Jameis was pretty accurate and played in a pro style offense

 

[twibnotes]

Isn't he a little reminiscent of Jameis Winston?

Winston was a really accurate passer at fsu and not nearly as mobile as Watson.

On a separate note...
It was just revealed that Jake Butt did indeed tear his acl. Hate to see that. Think you will see more guys sit these games out, unfortunately

 

[Clears Cleaver]

That was a first down?

was that reviewed? I mean he was easily a yard short. Seems like one of those "TV doesn't need another boring blowout, lets keep this drive moving and hope that Ohio State can score" marks by the refs

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

So really, really little reminiscent then. I guess I don't remember Winston being so accurate.

 

[twibnotes]

So really, really little reminiscent then. I guess I don't remember Winston being so accurate.

He was as good a college qb as I've seen in a long time. Made very few mistakes

Edit: I should clarify...made very few ON FIELD mistakes

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

Jameis was pretty accurate and played in a pro style offense

Jameis is also a lot bigger. 6'4" Deshaun, I hate to say it, is a little frail.

 

[SumnerH]

So true. I miss that guy, who really was interesting: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2011/02/07/interesting

He's one of the most boring interviewees I've ever heard.
