@1 General Disarray :
You’re referring to Arizona’s red pants, right?

Where exactly are Fredo’s troops standing with their helmets held high? Does not appear to be a stadium, therefore I am troubled.

Can LSUFreek please put Bronco Mendenhall’s head on top of a scene from Orgazmo? And please use the uncomfortable face from the Vegas bowl photo-op.
LDS Baby LDS!

Yay, useless bowls! Tomorrow is the first bowl, and the BCS Championship isn’t until the second week of January…meanwhile 1-AA finishes tonight with their championship, before the first bowl is even played.
How does a playoff lengthen the season again?

What, no St. Petersburg Bowl preview? Jim Leavitt thinks that is absolute horse bleep. The Trop is the greatest stadium value in america - world series, NHL playoffs, Arena Bowl and now a high quality ESPN2 bowl game. All for $125M — tthat’s less than Mark Texiara’s next contract. Call it names (we’re looking at you Phil Esposito), but where else can USF signlet man be comfortable at this time of year?

How did BYU win that MNC back in 1984, if their excellent seasons keep sending them to the frakking Vegas Bowl?

I cannot in good conscience pick the team which only beat Washington by 1 point.

New Wire: Iowa State takes term “Coaching carousel” a little too literally, hires Auburn DC as HC.

+100 to the first person to spot the Fearless Leader in his Miller High Life seats at the Trop.

I’ll wait until your hearts stop pounding with excitement.

WTF is up with that turf @ the Magic Jack Bowl?
I just turned it on, and it appears like it’s the Magic Jack-Off bowl and there’s jizz all over the field.
…that or 3/4 of the “blades” of grass are tinsel.
I don’t recall the turf looking like that during the baseball season.

@17… was just wondering the same thing. It’s as if they brought in a rain-machine to make the weather look ‘more authentic’. Based on Swindle’s pictures, it might be the Death Star sized lights they’ve installed.

For once in your life Mich-Placed, +5 cocktails.

I think if BYU loses this game there should be a “Bronco Mendehall loses football games” tag.

Sorry PB, but this season Mike Stoops WINS football games.

Well, the turf covering up the infield was definitely a different color than the rest of the field. And then they spray-painted the foul lines a third shade of green.
I think the jizz effect was a combination of weird camera angle + lighting designed for baseball.
