Can’t even guarantee a rate. Thanks trump.

Current bowls most likely to be the next to see a sponsor keep the sponsorship but change their name:

FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL
68 VENTURES BOWL
BAD BOY MOWERS PINSTRIPE BOWL

DeSean Jackson is headed to Dover, DE to coach?

And I guess I might see Michael Vick next fall as Norfolk St is scheduled to play in Piscataway.

3,000 tickets to the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl were donated to the Air Force base. So naturally we've got some Gin and Juice to drink this afternoon. Looking forward to seeing Snoop.

That is a huge midfield logo in Tucson, even for a bowl game midfield logo.

Iowa St and Miami gonna cover the over in the first half.

I got mad when they had a poptart poll with no unfrosted options.

Cam Ward opts out of the second half of the poptart bowl

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Sat Dec 28, 2024 6:08 pm

So many bowl games are greatly affected by players lost to the transfer portal. Like, a battle between each teams’ backups.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Sat Dec 28, 2024 6:52 pm

I'm so glad I got these tickets for free.

Edit:

It’s not like the bowls were some sacrosanct spectacle before NIL. At least now they’re being treated as the glorified exhibitions they’ve always been.

and it's why Johnnie's tickets were free

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Sat Dec 28, 2024 7:21 pm

Ok, this game got suddenly good with explosive plays.

people still watch the bowl games too ... plus more games matter in the postseason and there are more unpredictable outcomes. I'd argue it's a net neutral at worst overall unless you're a bettor and/or oddsmaker

My wife and I were in attendance as well (rooting for the other guys). I did place a CSU ML bet…I thought Miami had little to no chance based on recent performance and losing 4 of their top players in the portal. Was happy to be wrong…that was just a pure ass kicking. The pregame tailgate fest was a good time too.

Attended the watch party with my wife's aunt and uncle (who are more than proud CSU alum, they've been together since Moby Arena opened!) after watching the Lobos decimate the Rams on the court (Lobos had a big run in the 1st half that CSU couldn't come back from.)

I like Boise State +11. Those guys are tricky in big games.

Oh man BSU whatever my issues with Franklin are he’s not banking it all on Jesus

rass · Post by **rass** » Tue Dec 31, 2024 7:47 pm

That was an awful FG attempt if it wasn’t blocked

Post by **brian** » Tue Dec 31, 2024 7:59 pm

Gonna be hilarious when Boise is down 35 at halftime and starts forcing runs to Jeanty in the second half only so he can break Sanders record.

rass · Post by **rass** » Tue Dec 31, 2024 8:05 pm

In this black and white era we live in let it be declared that brian loves some James Franklin.

No he’s ridiculously overrated but PSU beats the teams it should beat and if they lose to Boise St he should be fired before midnight.

Look man I was effing around but that second TD was nice

Post by **brian** » Tue Dec 31, 2024 8:24 pm

Sorry didn’t know that was a bit.

Franklin actually is similar to Tomlin so that must frustrate the shit out of western PA Yinzers. High floor, low ceiling coaches aren’t super common.

Post by **brian** » Tue Dec 31, 2024 9:59 pm

You’d think I’d know better by now but I may have given Franklin too much credit.

rass · Post by **rass** » Tue Dec 31, 2024 10:18 pm

ESPN couldn’t be bothered to find a shot to justify that flag that wiped out a BSU TD

What could've been with a merely serviceable QB. I posted before, but I'll reiterate: Indiana was gettable, Illinois would've been more of a rock fight, and Washington was not that good.

The defense did not drop much from last year in terms of stats or the intangibles of making plays at important times. But anyone watching yesterday saw what it was like to pull for M this year. It was just painful on offense.
