FLYING DUDES: THE SUGAR BOWL

Brennaman wants to see the Demps injury again. Slower, and while you choke him this time…

And now we wait with baited breath for the Brantley and Addazio Era. God have mercy on us all.

Yes nice consolation game win. You really mauled a big east team…

Please step aside and make way for the big boys. You’ve had your fun exhibition game.

It’s time to play the only game that matters.

But baseball doesn’t even HAVE a clock…

OLS—You’re undoubtedly talking about the International Bowl, and it’s oh so true.

Anyone whining about RUTS is either looking for something to whine about or should be shot. I (this is going to come as a surprise) was rooting for UC last night, but whenever the announcers were talking about putting the second string in I shook my head in disagreement. It would have been a bigger insult to put in second string than to keep playing the game, scoring points and all. It’s a BCS bowl game, there is no need to save your star players, especially seniors, for another game. I was happy to see UC AND UF keep playing after the game was decided (i.e. kickoff).

I think UC was chippy because they wanted to prove that they weren’t intimidated by the big bad SEC teams. In the end it didn’t matter whether they were scared or not, because they were simply out-manned, outmatched and outgunned in every way.

Apparently the folks at Fox think that every college football game is just a combine for the NFL scouts. Between Tebow’s pro chances, Pike and Gilyard’s pro chances and the Saints, the NFL was mentioned about every other sentence.

Thomm Brennaman is an idiot and will never be half the man or announcer that his father Marty was. Marty is an announcing legend (for the Reds for those of not from Cincinnati). Thomm is a joke.

(For people posting in this thread, its CinciNNaTi. Not CinciNaTTI or any other bastardization you can come up with)

Only game that matters = Orange Bowl

Hawkeyes? More like Suckeyes. Corn. Hah! Burned!

Thank God for Bama. Welcome to year 1 A.T. (after Tebus). Gravity will suck.

OMG! We’re losing Tebow? IF ONLY SOMEONE COULD COMMENT AND THEN OMINOUSLY WARN US ABOUT HOW WE"LL NEVER WIN A GAME WITHOUT HIM?

Sincerely,

Chris Leak, 2006 BCS Title and SEC Championship QB

Realistically, I think the options available to you when you’re blowing out the other team in a bowl are:

1) Put in every senior you can find, especially guys who have never taken a live snap, AND

2) Run the ball, or else stick with screen passes and the like. No crazy trickeration, no downfield bombing.

And honestly, that’s it. You can’t ask guys to start taking a knee or running sideways out of bounds – well, you can take a knee inside 2 minutes or so, but otherwise? You have to play 60 minutes, else it’s point-shaving and you can go to jail for that shit.

/wishes he ever had a chance to run up the score, ever ever

Orson, I think you’re engaging in revisionist history. Tebow-coverage has clearly indicated that Tebow was solely responsible for the 2006 national championship.

The Thom Brennaman trial, for crimes against humanity, can’t come quick enough.

How about the power of flight? That do anything for ya?

Brennaman remains the gold standard for Fox hackery during the Bowl Bash. His complete apathy during Georgia’s rout of Hawa’i’ was legendary in its execution. The man spoke about the game only 1/3 of the time. At least Billick spoke about Tebow’s prospects in the NFL, which was tangentially related to the “action” on the field.

And, they all pronounced most of the names right. Noshoes McCraino appreciates the effort.

Florida was only chippy for the first 3 plays. Cincy was chippy the entire game. I repeatedly saw several Gators put up their hands and back away from some bearcat that wanted to get in their face after every play. Cincy made FSU look like a clean team.

What are the three states where I can get that rageahol? I’m assuming Louisiana and Nevada are two of them.

RE: Not being a Biatch

Sirs, that is how you come back from a devastating loss to curb stomp an outmatched undefeated pretender. Why you had to shame the SEC last year is beyond me.

If you should somehow find a way to lose to Tejas, when I visit Tuscaloosa next season, you’ll wish I was General Sherman passing through to the sea.

John Brantley is to Tim Tebow as Colt McCoy was to Vince Young. This belief would warm my off-season were it not for the fact that Urban Meyer is to Steve Addazio as Bear Bryant was to Ray Perkins.

Orson- I’m still waiting for my International Bowl open thread.

The International Bowl: where the gloves come off and OH MY GOD MY EYES ARE BLEEDING

did anyone watch the tebow cam?

should be Kevin@LSU….i have just come to from my coma inducing new years eve celebrations. needless to say, what happened that night shall be put in the deepest and darkest parts of my brain, never again to be revealed, only in nightmares.

Best Fox incompetent moment: Billick (or was it, Brennanman, I stopped paying close attention midway through the second quarter) calling Brandon Spikes “Brandon Spics.”

okay seriously Fox… The announcers at the Under Armour bowl spent more time talking about the teams that were playing last night than you did during the actual game.

Never thought I’d say something like this, but I actually enjoyed Terry and Howie doing the Sugar Bowl 2 years ago. For a dumb redneck and a former steroid freak they knew how to talk some football compared to last night’s crew.

My favorite Brandon Spikes moment of the night was when he tipped a ball at the line of scrimmage, then looked at his hands like a DB as if they had failed to get the interception. What, were you expecting a one-handed grab?

Please, oh please, don’t let Fox do this shit again. I almost shed a tear of joy when Brennaman said the contract runs out after this bowl season. Random truck shots, random candy shots, etc.; what the fuck, over? The commentators have been well bitched about, but I still have to express my hatred of Mr. Brennaman. Fuck you, Thom.

Oh Javon Snead, with the lovely name. Please stop throwing to I’M A MAN U. Please.

I think Billick’s most salient contribution was his hulking, manly presence. It held draw Brenneman’s propensity for TimTebow slam erotic poetry exhibitions.

Meanwhile, apparently, it seems the Arkansas-A&M game used up all the points allowed at Giganticon Omega Xanadu Mothership Stadium.

Whoops, I take it back. OSU, u been McClustered. Not to worry, the Pokes will come right back with the 1-2 punch of Dez Bryant and Kendall Hunter and … oh, wait. Well, maybe Perrish Cox can break off a kick return … oh. Wait.

Wait, so you’re telling me Fox has Pat Summerall at their disposal, and they’ve been subjecting us to Thom Brennaman? Oh, the injustice!

I love college football and all, and yesterday’s bowl games were really good (until the curbstomping in the evening) but the games this afternoon are irredeemable.

@30 – I grew up listening to Summerall call games and miss him terribly. Unfortunately he’s a little past his expiration date. Doesn’t make listening to Brennaman and Billick (THE largest head I’ve seen so far in HD) any easier though.

On another note, are they issuing handguns to all student athletes at UT now?

Uncle Verne anyone?

I would remind all of you fucking critics out there in cyber space, this is the last week that we will see live CFB for 8 months. I don’t give a fuck if you like the announce teams! Turn off the volume if it bothers you that much! After Thursday night we have to wait until September. Announce THAT motherfuckers! I’m just glad to have it to watch!!!!!!!!!!

@ 34

well, until the serious tease of spring games….
then the true summer drought begins…

Spurrier-the SEC is calling. They’ve revoked your membership.

Umm. Come on man…get in the endzone this time! I want a McCluster on my team.. And who knew UConn was this mighty…..

“The safety played with a violence bordering on negligence, at one point knocking Janoris Jenkins out of the game when he attempted to Malcolm Jenkins up a Cincy receiver”

For us unknowledgables, can someone explain the Malcolm Jenkins reference?

Apparently, Ole Miss got a hold of those new-fangled uniforms that make DBs invisible to Zac Robinson and 350-pound DTs invisible to referees.

Easily one of the worst-played games I’ve seen. I think everyone on each team has gotten drunk in homage to Mike Leach’s exile.

INT! You can’t pay that woman enough money to listen to Jerry Jones.

Piss off you donkey raping shit eater.

I’m sorry, but no comment on the obviously medicated state of the artist formerly known as Urban Meyer?

He looked like he couldn’t wait for a box of animal crackers, a sippy cup of apple juice, and a nap.

What are the chances that ESPN will air Eddie Money’s performance at halftime?

I wish I could have played against Florida. Wishboning Tebows legs would be hella fun.

@ 38:
 
Big East speed?

(I’ve been wanting to say that for years.)

You’d have to time most of the UConn players with a calendar, but they are tough and physical and you’d be surprised how many teams can’t handle that. Anyone who thought Sakerlina would win just because they’re in the ESS EEE CEE is ignorant.

weeeel, UConn beat my Orange convincingly. Maybe better next year. Oh rebuild, you are better than utter wretchedness.

Apparently noone really wants this Liberty Bowl trophy.

ECU’s kicker vs. Northwestern’s kicker. Loser dies slowly. Winner gets to die fast.

RE: Coaching “Brilliance”

Perhaps Skip Holtz should use some of his brilliance (which I notice you’ve been second guessing all game, Ed) to put the damn football in the center of the field for the field goal attempt everyone knows is coming. Thanks for an entire season of banalities and ineptitude, guys. Tools.

you tell ’em Janine – “you wanted to win the SEC championship, but at least you won the Liberty Bowl”….

that’s like saying “you wanted to marry Heidi Klum, but at least you got one escort service to send you a warm body”

Now we get Footbaw Bob for the nightcap. At least there’s lots of beer in the fridge, and thank God I’m not preaching tomorrow.

Man, the rest of the country is making it hard to lose the SEC supremacy attitude. Outside of the Big 2, this year’s SEC was very mediocre, yet they still eked out a 4-4. Which is better than the 1-5 face plant the Pac-10 (sexy pick as best conference this year) did sans USC.

Thank God the SEC dodged the bullies on the block, the MWC! I don’t think they’d be gracious enough like Northwestern and East Carolina to lose games they had won.

This sure will be a season to forget. I don’t think LSU ever reached mid-season form.

Was going to post a thank-you to ECU’s kicker for sending it to OT and sparing us 30 minutes of pre-game rehash and inanity, but I see now that Coach Davie, always generous with his insight, is going to shoehorn all that commentary into the bumpers. Can’t waste what was doubtless minutes and minutes of prep. Do we drink every time someone says “Son of ESPN Analyst Craig James?”

@ 58: Man, I hope not. Someone might try for the new record.

One thang fer sure, the ess eee cee took the bowl games for granted. It won’t happen next year. Dan Mullen will make sure of it in Starksville on our end. Hell, we get there so rarely we HAVE to.

It is -8 wind chill in Blowing Rock. And at 2PM I managed to catch a pass thrown to me in the parking lot of a local bar with 15 mph whipping winds. Which is far better than the Chix did today. It is comforting to see things are back to normal in Cola.

Michigan State got FUPA’ed

Mike Patrick and Bob Davie were auditioning for a job at Fox tonight. Good god they’re awful.

@43

Hey it’s better than the Tebow cam isn’t it?

Tebow was great. There should be a Tebow NFL draft predicting contest. Will he go 15th in 1st round, or mid 2nd round, or
go to a team on Day Two of draft? My guess: Number 21 on 1st round.

How could the power of flight illustration not be a pic of “It’s good to be” Chris Rainey????!!!

Alamo Bowl Threadjack:

1. I think I would like the commentary better if Craig James’s balls were literally in Bob Davie’s mouth, because then I wouldn’t have to hear his incoherent ramblings.
2. Adam James will never get laid in Lubbock again.

okay orson… CFB season is over…I have one word for you…. FULMER CUP

or as I will whisper under my breath every time you post it… Kiffy Kup!!!
