2009 Bowl Season (official thread)

[JXC]

Why don't we move Playoff v. BCS discussion to This Thread

No sense in having it go on in two places.

This thread can be used to simply discuss the bowl games we actually have (With attempts to leave Playoff hypos out of it)

Edit: When I say "move" I don't mean to move the posts as it would create a huge mess in that thread, I think.... Whatever... we can move em, in fact, if you want.

That's what I was discussing...

That's what I was discussing...

I know... I wasn't trying to suggest you were off topic. BB73 and I were talking earlier about what to do with this thread... the first post hints at playoffs, so the discussion about them v. the BCS seems on topic... but... now it's in two places because of my other thread.. so, I was just saying "officially" lets make this one solely about the bowls we have, not the other stuff.

As it happens, your post was perfectly on "topic" in that respect.

I refuse to post on the other thread...

Sounds like a sticky situation...

And the Hawai'i Bowl gets SMU.

:p

And the Hawai'i Bowl gets SMU.

:p

Seriously though, kudos to the Mustangs...it's the first bowl game they've made since they got the death penalty. It took them 25 years just to get back to a bowl game...amazing.

Looking at projections, a Houston/Arkansas Liberty Bowl could be fun...the Over could easily be close to 100

Could be a good game considering A&M gave Texas a run over TG.

Of course if I were you I'd be happier than a hog in slop...A&M has dropped 7 of 8 bowl games and 10 of their last 12...(one of those 2 wins, of course, being over Michigan ) so you should be in line for a nice W
