Far too many bowl games in my opinion or maybe it is the absolutely bizarre named bowls. I guess the one positive from this is a lot of teams I never get to watch will be on the tube in my neck of the woods.

Oh yea I totally agree that their are way too many bowl games. Ultimately it comes down to the TV companies and colleges in a cash grab from the different sponsors.

Spot on fellas. When I was growing up, it seemed there was maybe 10-12 bowl games & not a one had any (tacky) sponsor(s) in the game title. Having 20-25+games totally defeats the purpose of having a bowl game anyway...which should be a reward for a good season...NOT a mediocre one.

 

[Leonardfan]

Bowl games kick off today. Nothing really noteworthy. I'd like to see SDSU beat Houston and Calvin Munson have a huge game.

Generation # Snowflake...Every body gets a trophy...let's not keep score.... Taxslayer Bowl is the dumbest name; change it back to Gator Bowl .. Chick Fil -A(Peach) ...John Hancock(Sun) learned their lesson

So many bowl games they had to take 5-7 Mississippi State & North Texas ...& 6-7 Hawaii

Good interview earlier w Brian Urlacher.....New Mexico Starting DB Jacob Girgle was recruited as a CB out of HS....But magically transitions to Safety...LB Dakota Cox has led the Lobos in tackles for 4 years

We know Calvin Munson should be NFL bound if he will leave baseball alone

UTSA QB Dalton Strum called "sneaky athletic" by his coaches...some nice runs..but rough day passing..winds gusting 40mph

San Diego St Punt returner/WR Quest Truxton with some Julian Edelman -like ankle breaking moves

 

[Leonardfan]

Munson with the INT!

 

[dwid]

how many teams get to go to a bowl game now? like 80? out of 128 fbs teams? ridiculous

 

[Leonardfan]

Limp wristed caste queer Jesse palmer just said Munson has a tremendous football iq after making that stop on fourth down. No mention of his athleticism. At other points in the broadcast he has gone on tangents about black players athleticism. He's a huge problem with the caste system.

 

[Leonardfan]

Houston got crushed by San Diego St. Nice way to start off the bowl season.

 

[celticdb15]

ULL black quarterback just tossed a pick! USM QB Mullens is running an effective 2 minute drill!

 

[Leonardfan]

I watched some of the ULL Southern Miss game last night. They were talking about the terrible AA black quarterback Jennings and how he was trying to get another year of eligibility. He is one of the worst QBs I have seen this past year playing a game and they were really talking him up like he is a program changing QB. It was a joke.

 

[celticdb15]

Yeah Jennings is such a program changing QB he led ULL to a 6-7 record. Seriously these people are mentally ill.

Palmer is a ***. Average ass pretty boy QB who also was on the extremely gay show "The Bachelor." He needs to go.

[FootballDad]

On Saturday when two very black bowls were being played, I tuned into the NCAA Division II championship game on ESPN between Northwest Missouri and Northern Alabama. It was great to see two teams, majority white, duking it out in a blizzard. NW Missouri turned a close game into a route in the 4th quarter, but it was a far better viewing experience than what we typically see on a normal Saturday or Sunday. The Bearcats would give many D1 teams a fight.

That little candy@$$ reminds of the kind cream puffs I used to shake down for lunch money back in my schoolboy days.

Haha Dixie you crack me up man!

 

[Leonardfan]

Pretty cool play - Forrest Lamp with a TD reception. He should be a 2nd rounder come draft time.

Tonight Wyoming and BYU face off. Should be a fun game to watch.

 

[TwentyTwo]

Thanks for posting that Leonardfan

Andrew Wingard with the INT.....Unfortunately this game has a monsoon...pouring buckets

Will miss watching QB Taysom Hill play...Fun to watch...dude had skills of a NFL RB...But with his wreckless style of play came too many injuries

Check out Taysom Hill PRE-injury vs. Texas a few seasons ago...pretty impressive at 6'-2" 230

 

[Leonardfan]

Magnum and Allen will be two QBs to look out for in the next couple seasons. Playing in this weather isn't the ideal showcase for QBs.

 

[celticdb15]

Cheering for Wyoming in this one, hope the weather clears up in 2nd half!

Agreed, another QB to keep an eye on is McSorley, even David Pollack picked him as his heisman favorite heading into next season. He's got a big arm and Is huge reason for his team's success.[/QUOTE]

TD Gentry!
