2007 NCAA Football - Bowl-mania!

[Fran]

Welcome to the thread for the bowl games this year for NCAA football. :)

In this thread, let's discuss the bowl games and their results/predictions ONLY.

And I'll also be posting pool results almost daily in the thread also. :yay:

Discuss!

[StorminNorman]

My most important Prediction:

Kevin Smith runs for over 181 yards and sets the Single Season Rushing Record.

[Badger]

Mizzou beats Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl, Wisconsin beats Tenn. in the Outback Bowl, and Kansas gets whooped like a ugly step-child in the Orange Bowl.

[Immortalfire]

LSU beat the snot out of Ohio State, Georgia shows Hawaii how football is done in the south, and Florida destroys Michigan.

[Fran]

MSU defeats the Eagles, LSU barely escapes OSU, Georgia dominates Hawaii and Florida kills Michigan.

[Byrd Man]

The Sugar Bowl is a toss up for me. I like to root for the underdog. But I live 60 miles from Athens.

[bored]

Kansas beats Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl, Wisconsin beats Tenn. in the Outback Bowl, and Mizzou gets whooped like a ugly step-child in the Cotton Bowl.

Fixed it for ya'.

[Spider-Fan]

Ohio State will show LSU who is boss!!!

[rdh007]

C'mon Chips!!! Need a huge drive.

[rdh007]

http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z171/Altair78/noooooooo.jpg

[dr venture]

That was a really good game

[NewYorkSpider]

I thought Central Michigan was going to come back. It was a real good game.

[Immortalfire]

Texas put the hurtin on AZ State last night.

[dr venture]

That man Chris Jessie is lucky that Texas defense was solid basically the whole game because that was a huge momentum shifter

[CalebYourMaster]

Go MSU! :)
how can you keep Fran banned on such a huge day for his boys!

[Arc-Light]

Hoyer is blowing chunks, dude needs to release the ball sooner.

[CalebYourMaster]

Hoyer made my blood pressure go sky high today...
im feeling so sick right now...

[Arc-Light]

MSU is one decent QB away from being a great team.....should have had Ringer in the QB position, and just kept running the ball.

[rdh007]

Sorry 'bout your luck MSU fans...but don't feel bad; it's only a matter of time until Lloyd goes out with a whimper.

[Fran]

Have to say that although I'm extremely disappointed in Hoyer, it was still a great game to watch.

Never gave up in every game, hung with every team.

We did pretty good, especially since BC was a #2 team in the season at one time, and since 2 of our best defensive players were gone for the game.

What saddens me is that every single player on MSU played their heart out. Except Hoyer. Seriously, some of those passes looked so awful, you could think he was trying to throw the game away :csad:

Very impressed with what the D did last night. VERY impressed. Stepped up, and kept us in the game the whole time.

Although the officiating did suck... on that bomb from Ryan, the WR for BC clearly pushed off the defender. Stunned to not see a flag on that.

[Fran]

Also, I saw at least 5 holding calls on #67 for BC, and on Ryan's first TD pass, Baldwin got pushed from behind.

Not trying to complain, just saying that the Big 12 refs suck :o

[CalebYourMaster]

MSU's defense was pretty good for missing 2 great players...and Ryans bomb down the field to (i believe) Gunnel was crap cuz he pushed off on one of our players to get open(the score to get them the 24 points)
i was really pissed when i saw that
what was killing us is that we couldnt run every play and when we needed a couple good passes it always seemed like BC got a couple good int's....*sigh*
im really proud of MSU either way...we should be a force next year

[Fran]

MSU just stopped running, when BC was scared when Jehuu was on the field :huh:

Next year Hoyer will be better. This should be a wake-up call for the young man.

Very pleased with this text message I heard was seen on the scoreboard during the game Friday: "Lloyd Carr has gonorrhea"

LOL.

[Tangled Web]

That's too bad they closed the thread for '08. I've been wanting to say this for a long time; The UCLA football Bruins are back.

Go Illini.

War Hawai'i.

Geaux Tigers.

LOL.
I fail to see anything that a MSU fan could find funny on that scoreboard...

Urban Meyer University 42 - Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeechigan 14

[Fran]

I thought it was a little distasteful, but it is funny that the Champs Sports people didn't see that one in-time to erase it. :o

[rdh007]

A little distasteful, but I generally agree.

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo DAWGS! SIC 'EM!!! WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF!!!!!!!!!!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/immortalfire/ga-med.gif

[Fran]

I picked USC, but I want the Illini to beat them. :csad:

[Badger]

Go Wisconsin and Go Mizzou!!!!

Sucks that they're both on at the same time.

[Fran]

Let's go Volunteers!

Sorry Phil. I love you :csad:

[Badger]

I rooted for MSU, even though I picked BC. :cmad:

[Fran]

I have to pick with my head, not my heart. :csad:

I want WIS to win, but for my pool chances, TEN.

[Badger]

Fine, be that way. :cmad:

Also, Kel I hope you enjoy the Ass-whooping Tennessee is about to recieve. :woot:

hopefully :huh:

[Fran]

hahaha, just as you post that...

[Badger]

:cmad:

[Fran]

Good God, Wisconsin's red zone D is probably worse than Notre Dame :dry:

[Badger]

Good God, Wisconsin's red zone D is probably worse than Notre Dame :dry:

Yeah, it's probably right up there with MSU giving up big plays and not finishing. :o

Donovan's my hero. 7-7

[Fran]

Ouch :rolleyes:

[Badger]

I'll just go ahead and say it's not so much the red-zone "D", but the "D" overall. They need to get their **** together.

Edit: And as I type that, turnover!! Though that had more to do with Tennessee calling a stupid play.

[Fran]

According to NCAA stats, MSU is ranked higher than Wisconsin in overall defense.

[Badger]

According to NCAA stats, MSU is ranked higher than Wisconsin in overall defense.

That does not surpise me.

[Fran]

So according to my calculations, Fran wins this conversation.

[Badger]

Sure, you need a "Win" more than I do.

[Fran]

I hope you get the plague. :)

[Badger]

:heart:

Fran, you'd you pick in the Mizzou v. Arkansas game?

[Fran]

...no one.

[Badger]

Touchdown Mizzou, Tony Temple 22 yard run!!!

[Kel]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllll Yeah!!!!!!!!!



Good game Wisconsin fans.............good game.



TENNESSEE 21, WISCONSIN 17

OUTBACK BOWL


Lets go
Gators and Dogs.....

[NewYorkSpider]

Michigan's Mike Hart got them all the way down field only to fumble inside the 5yd line.

[CalebYourMaster]

Michigan is surprising me...hmm

[Panophobia]

Florida is doing alright. Their defense is sucking it up. Their offense is doing alright. They've done fine when they're not starting inside their own 5. We've caught a few lucky breaks, and we're lucky to have the score only 21-14. Florida will hopefully score on their opening drive, and the momentum should shift their way.

[Immortalfire]

Dang, Missouri was all over the Razorbacks.

[Badger]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllll Yeah!!!!!!!!!



Good game Wisconsin fans.............good game.



TENNESSEE 21, WISCONSIN 17

OUTBACK BOWL


Lets go
Gators and Dogs.....

Nice game by Tenn. :up:

[Excel]

mike hart fumbled on the goal line for the 2nd time today!

wtf is up???

[Badger]

Dang, Missouri was all over the Razorbacks.

Hell yeah, Tony Temple set a new rushing record and the Mizzou 'D' shuts down Run DMc. :woot:

Now if Kansas can just get mauled, I'll be a happy Mizzou fan.

[Kel]

Nice game by Tenn. :up:


Hey, both defenses did an awesome job.....


It was an awesome Outback Bowl, fans of both teams have alot to be proud of......

Wisconsin played hard to the very end...

[Panophobia]

Couple of my friends went to the Outback Bowl, sounds like a good game to go to.

[Immortalfire]

I almost went to the Peach/Chick-fil-a Bowl last year, but my thoughts were else where and I didn't.

[Kel]

Congrats to the Michigan fans out there......great game.



Michigan 41, Florida 35

[Kel]

Holy Cow

Texas Tech has scored 17 points in the last 3:28.....and their kicker just made a VERY TOUGH 41 yard FG to take the lead....



HOOOOLY CRAP


Texas Tech 31, Virginia 28

[Panophobia]

Very dissapointed about the Florida game. Looking to next year now.

And holy **** at the Texas Tech game. Go TT!

[NewYorkSpider]

Will Ferrell is at the Rose Bowl. :o

[Mister J]

Go Blue! :D

Michigan surprised me. I figured they were in for a beating, but they showed up big today. Whenever you win a game where you're minus-4 in turnovers, you made some serious plays on both sides of the ball. I'll take it.

I wanted him out, and I'm excited for the Coach Rod era to begin, but I really appreciate what Lloyd Carr brought to the program. I'm glad he was able to go out with a W. :up:

The Missouri-Arkansas game surprised me too. 21/105 ain't bad, but I expected McFadden to bring that wood. The last time I saw him, he had that wood right thur, baby. He was supposed to have got that wood right thur.

Emeril was Grand Marshall for the Rose Bowl Parade? :confused:

[rdh007]

http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee144/rdh007/357439.jpg
Congrats to all involved, great to send Carr off a winner. Especially over Meyer and Florida after last year. Let the RichRod era begin! Tomorrow.

Lloyd Carr: 122-40
Michigan: The only Big Ten team that competes with SEC teams. The only one.

[Fran]

The Dick Rod era begins.

One year of mediocrity, then years of "damned good"-ness.

[Fran]

Come on Fighting Zooks! :csad:

Im happy for the seniors and Carr. I nearly cried when Hart lost that second fumble. He is a great football player, and put Big Blue on his shoulders the entire season. Congrats guys. You make me proud as a Michigan fan.

Thankfully Tebow finally realized that its about wins, not just individual accolades. He couldnt win the game when it was on the line, and until he becomes a leader and not just a QB, he wont be able to take his team from behind. That said, Henne, way to go out man. I never wanted to lose hope in him, and Im glad that Florida underestimated him.

You are a good man, Lloyd Carr, and Im glad your guys sent you out in a great way.

And to end it....

GO BLUE!!!!
http://condodomain.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/football_team%20U%20of%20Michigan.jpg

[Fran]

Hahahaha, "take his team from behind" :o

But yes. I'm glad that U-M finally won a game in a while, so Carr could go out on a good note. Nice to see :)

[NewYorkSpider]

Illinois is making a comeback.

[Fran]

GOD I want them to win.

[Fran]

Damnit, Illinois receiver! HOLD ONTO THE BALL :down

[Zacky]

Usc!!!!

[rdh007]

GOD I want them to win.
Agreed!

[Zacky]

Go Usc

[cookiva]

Agreed!

Agreed x5...

Illinois is better than this, and USC is worse than this. This is a horrible game. Hopefully the Georgia Hawaii one will be better.

[NewYorkSpider]

Illinois had to many turnovers. The game should have been a lot closer.

[The Game]

Did anyone give Illinois a chance to win? man this game is ugly

[Fran]

SIC EM DAWGS!!!
woofwoofwoof

[Fran]

Wow, Hawaii is a little nervous already.

[Fran]

The name of the trombone quartet that played the national anthem to this game: Bonerama!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[The Game]

Lets go COLT

[Mister J]

...annnndd ball game. :dry:

[Fran]

:lmao:

Didn't Colt Brennan get kicked out of Colorado for exposing his genitals to a girl in a dorm room?

[Kel]

That was the worst bowl I've seen in a very long time...

[Fran]

...annnndd ball game. :dry:

Thanks Illinois for making the Big Ten look awful in the Rose Bowl once again. :up:

[Kel]

Fran has finally cracked....

[Fran]

Fran has finally cracked....

I'm actually fine right now. Just stating the fact. :csad:

[Kel]

I'm actually fine right now. Just stating the fact. :csad:


Gotcha.......................................carry on....

[Zacky]

Back 2 Back Rose Bowl champs.

[Fran]

Looks like it's gonna be between Florida and USC for the #1 ranking in 2008.

Probably gonna be USC, since I'm sure Mark May will be making love to Pete on an hourly basis now until September.

[Tangled Web]

Illinois ****ing sucks.

Tradition? The Rose Bowl tradition is Big Ten CHAMPS vs PAC-10 CHAMPs. The Rose Bowl got first pick after the title game and this is what they came up with? It should have been Georgia and 'SC.

Illinois played one dimensional football that played right into 'SC's hands. Oh and this game was a horid display of sportsmanship on both sides.

Ah well, at least I got to see coach Neuheisel.

[CalebYourMaster]

god...that was not a fun game at all....Illinois made Big Ten look awful today...
Congrads on the win Lloyd Carr... Going out with pride...(Grrr Michigan)

[Tangled Web]

Watch the red polyester clad Nazis declare themselves national champions because of this win over a mediocre Big (coughelevencough) team.

:rolleyes:

[Fran]

Herbstreit couldn't stop praising them.

[Tangled Web]

Typical Herbstreit/ Brent suckfest. I wonder if their knees are sore?

[Fran]

Mark May helped them out though, so I think they're okay.

Also, Georgia's getting ready for an ass-kicking.

[Kel]

Touchdown Dawgs.....

[Fran]

I hope Hawaii falls off their rainbow tonight :o

[Kel]

Hawaii..............................welcome to the SEC................................

[Fran]

Where you at, Norman?

Hawaii :o

[Mister J]

This is turning out to be uglier than I thought.

[Fran]

This is what happens when:

1. Hawaii isn't playing at their stadium - the refs are neutral, Colt is a baby about calls, and the stadium isn't abound with random trash.

2. Hawaii isn't playing a crap team from the WAC - and they had to come back from 21 down to beat Washington. :dry:

[Fran]

God, what a joke of a BCS team.

[Kel]

This is what happens when children play with adults....

[Byrd Man]

Aloha, Hawaii...the goodbye Aloha, not the hello.

[Fran]

Colt has the cajones to bash MSU for not scheduling them this year (last time we played, 42-14 MSU), and he can't even get a TD pass in the big stage. :whatever:

[Kel]

Hawaii's Half-time speech....



Guys, we'll be back in paradise in just a few hours.....close you eyes, and this won't hurt.

[Kel]

#29 Jones' mouth is going so much he can't keep his helmet on.....

[cookiva]

Damn, sorry but that was a nice throw, Brennan....

Jones, STFU...

[Mister J]

Why does he keep running his mouth? They're getting destroyed. :confused:

[Fran]

I have a feeling one of the Dawgs is gonna light up Jones.

[Kel]

Do these commenators not realize that...

*everytime they say this is the undefeated team...
*highest scoring college football team....
*Hawaii is this.....Hawaii is that...

They they only make the WAC look that much WORSE......

[cookiva]

Guys, Im having a vision....


Jones is going to get his capa detated from his head

[Kel]

That's probably the only way you can shut him up......

But then his head will probably keep trash talking without his body.

[cookiva]

Hey, Hawaii is not in "Kansas" anymore....

YES! ZING!

[Fran]

Haha

[Kel]

Damn, I think Hawaii is going to lose the half time as well.....

[Fran]

Gator fans are probably salivating at 2008's opener against the Rainbows...

[Mister J]

Georgia got that wood right there, baby. They got that wood.

Seriously though, ...damn.

[Fran]

Dear Hawaii,

Sorry we couldn't help you out!

Sincerely,
WAC Referees

[Byrd Man]

Most exciting part of this game? The commentators talking about the NC game.

[Panophobia]

Wow, Georgia is raping. Makes me happy!

[Dr. Evil]

38-3 Georgia

[Cmill216]

Georgia is beating that ass. :eek:

[StorminNorman]

The Rose Bowl committee is a group of inept, stupid, corrupt, vile, horrible, disgusting human beings that opted to do what is best for their own foolish, belief that their bowl should place "tradition" over the interest of their fans.

The Big 10 is equally as bad and is. Their own greed is what is preventing what isbest for their sport, for their players and for their fans - their consumers.

Georgia should be playing USC right now - instead we got a team whose talent doesn't compare well to Appalachian State and whose coaches, while incredible, are powerless to do anything.

[Badger]

Hey did I mention Tony Temple (RB for Mizzou) rushed for 281 yards and 4 TD's against Ar-Kansas. And more over Mizzou beat that Ass 38-7.

[Mister J]

The band got a little too excited. :dry:

[cyborg ninja 14]

My thoughts from today's action

-I thoroughly enjoyed the Michigan/Florida game. Nice for Lloyd Carr to end his career with a victory, and Florida really isn't as good as Teblowers (Herbstreit?) have said. Niether was it proven given how badly their secondary was destroyed by Henne today.

-Hawaii/Georgia game I thought would've been hilarious had Hawaii upset the clearly superior Bulldogs. Oh well.

-What is Juice Williams's first name? It seriously can't be "Juice" right? Loved Musburger and Herbstreit attempting to secretly vouche for USC's right as the best team in the country, but didn't pull it off effectively.

Edit: I looked it up, Juice Williams is his real name.

[Mister J]

Williams' first name is Isiah, though I've never it heard it used by anyone.
Full given name is Isiah John Williams ... Goes by "Juice"

That's the thing though. Everyone is running around saying "oh big ten/pac-10 tradition blah blah" when really it isn't. The spirit of the Rose Bowl is best from of the east vs. best from the west. Now because the best Big Ten team is in the championship game; logically it should be Georgia and USC. And you're right. Both Georgia and USC got very favorable match ups.

But the best from the east is almost never a Big 10 team. :oldrazz:

Congrats TW, btw, on getting a damn good football coach. :up:

Congrats to UGA fans. Now through the magic of the screwed up system that is NCAA D-I football, you can scream for months that you should have at least played USC in the Rose Bowl, if not had a shot at the title. And nothing will change.

Also, USC fan; feel free to do the same thing.

[Superman79]

UGA pretty much raped Hawaii...nice try Warriors, but Georgia was seriously the more superior team.

Wonder how they would have done against tOSU??

[Kel]

Why do people use that term......????

Its amazing how many times it is used out of context....

[rdh007]

"Rape"? or "Superior"?

[Superman79]

You you prefer I said:
"UGA pretty much violently had their way with Hawaii" ?? :huh:

'Cause thats pretty much what I was implying...sorry if I offended.

[The Game]

"Rape"? or "Superior"?

''Superior'' because we all know Hawaii is gonna win..............oh wait

[Kel]

You you prefer I said:

Nah, I'm not offended..........and you are certainly not the only one I've seen using the word in a weird context....

lol, I think my post was more "thinking outloud" than anything else....

I guess I would have said something like....."UGA pretty much kicked Hawaii ass....." or something.....cause..............I saw nothing in the area of rape happening on the field.....but I saw alot of ass kicking....:woot:

[Kel]

"Rape"? or "Superior"?


Damn, I think I have to answer both with that question.........:oldrazz:

[Immortalfire]

This morning's SportsCenter announcer sounded bored out of his mind, while voicing over highlights from UGA/Hawaii, TN/Wisconsin games. I guess it was the fact the SEC was winning.


Then, true to form they go right into a USC love-in. :whatever:

[StorminNorman]

ESPN's orgasms every time USC takes the field.

damn what a good gamd GA and SC would be .. 'fire :csad:

[Panophobia]

Georgia would win.

[Kel]

Hell yeah Georgia would win.....but it would have been much more enjoyable watching USC get their ass kicked, than it was Hawaii.....

[Superman79]

^Seconded :D

[Panophobia]

I don't know, it was nice to see Hawaii realize how good of a team they really are.

Although kicking USC's ass would be good too.

(Actually, kicking Ohio state's ass is where they should be.)

[rdh007]

Lotta love for a school that didn't play in it's own league championship game around here. I have a great deal of respect for UGA and would've preferred a matchup with USC in the Rose Bowl as well, but this seems like ESPN and 'SC in here.

[Panophobia]

Any predictions for tonight?

I'm calling it - Oklahoma 35 - West Virginia 17.

[Mister J]

I don't think it'll be that close. I've been of the mind that none of these alleged 'showcase' bowls will be particularly competitive.

[rdh007]

Any predictions for tonight?

I'm calling it - Oklahoma 35 - West Virginia 17.
I'll raise you a touchdown. Make it 42-17.

[Immortalfire]

Oklahoma: 38
West Virginia: 14

[Kel]

Oklahoma 27
West Virginia 10

[Fran]

West Virginia $4 mil
Rich Rodriguez 0

But seriously, OK wins 42-14

[Fran]

Question

Can we start calling Hawaii the Rainbows once again? They really aren't warriors when put up against a big-time team :huh:

[rdh007]

West Virginia $4 mil
Rich Rodriguez 0

But seriously, OK wins 42-14

Michigan was the winner there. I believe in RichRod.

I didn't catch what their name was. Some unknown singers. They were horrible. http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/icon13.gif

[Fran]

Bonerama was awesome though. :o

[Kel]

The eagle flying gave me chills........I always love it when they do that stuff.


LMAO, unknown singers....


Frankie Valle was the soloist....the guys backing him up are from the Broadway Musical "Jersey Boys"

[Kel]

Well, Mountaineers just held the Sooners to a Punt.....

[Excel]

Slatons out, time to put in mr. noel devine

[Fran]

Noel looks like a midget out there :o

[Excel]

more like speedy gonzalez

[Fran]

Speedy Gonzalez was still a midget :confused:

[rdh007]

Can I retract my prediction yet?

[Excel]

Hes a midget compared ot them-5'7, 170...but he is the god damn most illusive guy ive ever seen!

[Fran]

Can I retract my prediction yet?

Nope, we're all in this for the long run.

Sincerely,

[Kel]

Well, its a good game anyway...

[Kel]

Touchdown WEST VIRGINIA

[Excel]

Did they really just let him score??

[Badger]

"Owen Smith like a run away Beer truck!!" :woot:

[Fran]

HAHAHAHA, I love that Joe Buck commercial.

"Dude."

[Panophobia]

Dude, is OU supposed to be good? :confused:

[Excel]

Noel over 160 all purpose yards with 1 1/2 quarters to go....

[bored]

Damn. I had not realized that Devine was the guy from all the YouTube videos until they mentioned it. Suddenly, his performance makes sense to me.

[Excel]

Love the story of him snubbing the governor in favor of his oline; and i didnt realize his parents died of aids when he was 6 n his best bud was murdered right infront of him- AND hes a dad of 2 lil kids from 2 different moms!

Yet...he has 243 all purpose yards and 2 touchdowns on 17 touches in a big bowl game...and a ypc for the season over 9 on over 60 carries....and hes a red shirting freshman :wow: :wow:

[cyborg ninja 14]

"Owen Smith like a run away Beer truck!!" :woot:

Who said that one? All I know is one of the talking heads made a fat joke against someone on Oklahoma by saying "He tested positive for doughnuts.":dry:

[Fran]

Congrats to WVU interim coach Bill Stewart, now the full-time head coach.

But this reminds me of Saban leaving for LSU... Bobby Williams gets a big bowl win against Florida, then flares out the rest of the way.

[Mister J]

Really didn't see Oklahoma getting it handed to them like that. They had no answer for anything West V did. Yikes.

[Superman79]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKlahoma where 'the suck' comes sweeping down the plain!!!!

OK, which one of you told Kansas they could be competitive tonight while I wasn't looking? 'Fess up!

[NewYorkSpider]

I told Mark Mangino if he won tonights game, i'd take him to an all you can eat buffet.

[Fran]

Charlie Weis + Mark Mangino + Old Country Buffet

Hopefully we don't pass a McDonalds on the way.

They have some class, they prefer Wendy's.

It's because you can consume a Frosty with that spoon/fork thing. Any excuse to use a utensil, I suppose.

Damn you Kansas! :cmad: If they had gotten that TD, I would have been off by 2 with the actual score.

No. Don't bother yourself. I'll take my two points and celebrate my brilliance to go against the grain for those points.

[Fran]

NYS has an outside shot of winning this thing, but his next 3 predictions have to be 100% correct.

Norman and I have the inside track at winning.

Badger has a good shot too.

The middle 4 have to be perfect, pretty much. But yeah, top 3 basically have the best chances.

Eh, the BCS Bowl games have sucked thus far...even KU and VT was mostly onesided (VT could do NOTHING on offense...nor could KU, but they did more).
