Oklahoma and Florida play for the right to say "We only had one more loss than Utah!"

Predictions?

I'm going with 34-24 Florida.

I really don't know what else to say... I'm really bad at hitting the word minimum. So, how was everyone's January 8th?

 

Suzy Kolber: Joe, it's been a tough season for Jets fans. What does it mean to you now that the team is struggling?

Joe Namath: I wanna kiss you. I couldn't care less about the team struggling. What we know is we can improve. Chad Pennington, our quarterback, missed the first part of the season, and we struggled. We're looking to next season, we're looking to make a noise now and ... I wanna kiss you!

SK: Thanks Joe! I'll take that as a huge compliment ... [Namath in background: YEAH!!!!] Joe Namath, part of the four-decade team. We'll see these guys at halftime.

Maybe

I know the Gators D is very good but be that as it man the Sooners have a great O. The Gators keep saying the Sooners haven’t seen a D like theirs this year but on the flip side the Gators have not seen an offense like the Sooners all year.

Anyone bored of CFB by now?

I used to love it, but now we have the National Championship, excuse me, BCS championship game, on January fucking 8th?

Back in the olden the days, they played all the cool game on 1/1 with the night game being the highlight. Then they moved it to 1/2, and I was cool with that. You spent all of New Years day eating and watching football, but on the the second, you thought “cool, I’d like to watch a little more football.”

This year we have freaking Tulsa and Ball State playing January 5th? This thing is basically over expansion. “Oh, you guys like bowl games? Then 28 more bowl game should be 28 times better!”

Why can’t they go back to New Years Day, you know, the day nobody worked. Thursday night football is awesome at the beginning of the season when baseball was over and no NFL to look forward to. Now? not so much.

Oh, and for a prediction, that one team wins, the other loses, Utah is #1.

Nothing pithy here. Please move long.

That game was the greatest

And what day was it? New Years day. I spent New Year’s Eve and day in Deadwood SD. Watched the game in a basement cigar bar (Seth Bullock’s original jail was where they stored their cold beer outside). Sat on a nice leather couch by a fireplace, smoked a great cigar, drank beer and watched that game.

Last night at 8PM DirecTV gave me HD for my local channels. So now I have 2 channels show up on the guide (one HD / one non-HD) for my local channels just like ESPN or any other channel with HD.

It was a $5 entry...

…and 22 people got in. We didn’t do the points thing, just picked the winners. I’m leading, at 23-9, but my boss is right behind me. I have OU, she has FL. If FL wins, it goes to the tiebreaker, which had us predict the amount of points scored in the game. I picked 58, and she picked 38. So in order for me to win, OU has to win, or the combined score has to be 49 or more.

But unfortunately thats one of the risks of the hurry up especially in these bowl games where the refs are from conferences that may never see it and the equipment may not be what they are used to. Hopefully they get it straightened out. Good game so far.

Who cares about that

More important is when OU hit a pass down to the 10, and the refs called some BS hold and moved it back to the OU48. Thats 42 fricken yards.

And there was another likewise huge penalty against OU before that I forget the details of..

Holding

I wouldn’t be suprised to see a ton of holding calls tonight from an ACC crew. For some reason the Big 12 refs forgot what holding was and let teams get away with tackling almost. In these bowl games it will be interesting to see if it gets called more which may affect OU way more than Florida

Bradford easily 1st round / Top 5. If McCoy comes back for his Sr year and has another year like this year, he will not be a 3rd rounder.
