Bowl Gamethread - Screw it, all the bowls.

[Drocca]

OSU has no business being here over TCU. Absolute joke.

Did you get a chance to peep ECU's QB this year?

 

[McBride11]

FSU would've been in the top 2 under the old system, I'll bet.

 
Ya, we would have waited 2 weeks to see Bama smash FSU. At least now we get Oregon - Bama in 2 weeks.
 

She's going to make some guy regret marriage some day.

 
Hate fuck? 

 

[Ed Hillel]

That's an awful taunt. Classless.

You joke, but ECU's QB, Shane Carden, may very well be one of the better QB's coming out of this year's draft class. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he ends up with a better NFL career than Mariota or Winston. 

 

[mascho]

WHOA

 

[tims4wins]

If OSU had beaten Wisconsin say 35-14 instead of 59-0 I wonder what the committee would have done

 

[mauf]

Well-deserved taunting call there.

 

[Drocca]

jacked up?

 

[tims4wins]

Dumb fuck

 

[staz]

Maybe he was just checking to see if he was okay? Ish.

 

[54thMA]

This game feels more like 44-6.................

 
Give it time, it's early yet

Oh, I'm not joking.

Everybody looked like Tom Brady against North Carolina's defense.

 

[Darnell's Son]

What a dingleberry 21 is.

 

[tims4wins]

 
Everybody looked like Tom Brady against North Carolina's defense.

Except fucking Duke. It's like we thought the season ended once it turned to November

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

Same result.  The buzz about OSU sneaking in at the end started so early that it was obvious someone was dying to see it happen. 

 

[staz]

Down 8 at the half would not be a bad deal for OSU

 

[Greg29fan]

Except fucking Duke. It's like we thought the season ended once it turned to November

 
agree, that result was mystifying.

 

[tims4wins]

Jones throws off his back foot like 3 out of every 4 throws. Inevitable he gets picked again

 

[McBride11]

 
Everybody looked like Tom Brady against North Carolina's defense.

 
False, those QBs could throw deep. Amirite?!

 

[Drocca]

Alabama is not going to be able to sub out their defense against Oregon (obviously) which I think could be a HUGE factor. Tonight, urban Meyer is letting Saban set up every play exactly as he wants.

 

[DannyHeep]

If OSU had beaten Wisconsin say 35-14 instead of 59-0 I wonder what the committee would have done

 
Same thing. OSU as a Big Ten team coupled with the Baylor/TCU conundrum made an OSU win an automatic bid to the playoff. 

 

[Greg29fan]

Alabama's pass defense is suspect

 

[mauf]

Bama's secondary is their weakness. Gotta let Jones keep throwing downfield.

The big run early probably gave them the wrong idea.

 

[Darnell's Son]

Yeah, they're getting the ball after the half too.

 

[tims4wins]

 
Same thing. OSU as a Big Ten team coupled with the Baylor/TCU conundrum made an OSU win an automatic bid to the playoff. 

But why was OSU ranked behind them before the Wisconsin game?

 

[steveluck7]

Jones can throw and he can run but man can he NOT throw on the run

 

[mauf]

No doubt. Bama relies on their D-line depth.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

PI

 

[tims4wins]

Thinking this is finally Oregon's year. In seasons past their offense has sputtered after a month off. Now that they are rolling and only have a week+ off they may embarrass tonight's winner as well.

 

[Darnell's Son]

PI

Clear as day

 

[McBride11]

The shitty change up throw caused the penalty. Hah.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Why do they keep rolling the kid out to his left?  Urban is forcing him to throw the ball across his body.  It's weird, even when it's short side of the field. 

 

[Drocca]

That is how I throw the ball to my three year old so it doesn't scare him. It still does, but helps I think.

 

[staz]

Terrible call running to short side

 

[canderson]

But why was OSU ranked behind them before the Wisconsin game?

Because rankings can't decipher dollar signs. OSU is more valuable than TCU, that's it.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Uh oh.

 

[jsinger121]

Clear as day

Yup but that pass should have been picked. It was a duck.

 

[DannyHeep]

But why was OSU ranked behind them before the Wisconsin game?

 
We are on the same page there. They should have been ahead of them the last couple games. It was a cowardly move. They waited until the end to make the call to avoid the BS.

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Brutus scores a TD in each red zone trip rather than an FG, this game is tied. That's the difference between Bammer and Brutus right now.

 

[P'tucket rhymes with...]

You're going to get your three year old killed by the covering corner.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Maybe Collins' injury can cause him to slip and we can upgrade Chung ?

 

[Darnell's Son]

Yeah, it's really weird. I keep expecting him to trip over his feet running to his left.

 

[DannyHeep]

To be fair that is about how hard you can throw Sally.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

No doubt. Bama relies on their D-line depth.

Saban was an outspoken proponent of requiring offenses to wait a certain amount of time between plays. My favorite argument was a fast pace was a safety issue.

next time, try it without the 200 lb guy running him over before the ball gets to him. I'm no child psychologist but I think that would help

Ding, ding, ding

 

[mauf]

I'm not so conspiratorial -- I think the committee gave some weight to tOSU's 11-0 campaign last season. Which is wrong, but they wouldn't have led the TCU folks on so blatantly if they knew they were going to go with the bigger TV draw if they both finished with one loss.

 

[Drocca]

Come on, score a TD.

The safety thing is bullshit, but I'm not a fan of the collegiate hurry-up.
