2014 Bowl Games Open Thread

[Fungo Squiggly]

I was going to stay up and watch this regardless. One coat hanger later and I want to go to bed. But not as bad as I want Maryland out of our conference.

Coat hanger? I thought you were a lawyer, not a back alley doctorb.

TCUs offense is destroying everything their D has done.

 

[cincibuck]

which bible are they thumping? I think I need a new bible.

 

[Gizmo]

I don't think Ole Piss is interested in playing this game.

 

[Poe McKnoe]

They sound like they're announcing they Kennedy funeral procession talking about Ole Miss. lol

Tessitore, man. I want that guy to announce my funeral.

I don't think Ole Piss is interested in playing this game.

Sec sec sec teams only care about nc games or games they're winning.

So, as I get it, you and I both agree that the current system is rigged/a joke/ unfair and from long ago posts I made I see that we both acknowledge that the system is first and foremost about tourism and not determining an NC, but when I say it I'm swinging at windmills. That about it?

Actually the tourism comment was Jake.

The original point being is that you aren't going to get a playoff game in the midwest. The reason is pretty simple, the system is rigged for the current bowls. And, yes, throwing up 20,000 word posts on the internet isn't going to change squat, but be my guest. Just don't be mad when someone tells you that you're either

A) preaching to the choir

or

B) wishing for something that won't change

And yes I'm saying it - the only way a playoff game gets into the midwest - be it Shitcago, Indianapolis, Detroit or wherever - is when the NCAA steps in and administers the championship for this level of football like they do for all other levels of NCAA sanctioned football. And if the power-5 split off from the rest of the FBS like it appears they want to do, the stranglehold of the current locations/bowls will only increase.

And that's enough of this stupid topic. Back to laughing at TCU and Ole Piss.

[Poe McKnoe]

Ole Miss is playing 15 yards off on the outside and taking DBs out of position on everything...despite TCU not doing anything downfield.

But its worth writing 20,000 word posts about why we're right but shouldn't say anything.
The long posts, such as this and Jake's history of changes (but get used to current status quo b/c its never changing), have all been from the 'why are you talking about it' crowd.

Talk about swinging at windmills.

This TCU team is so far ahead of the rest of the Big XII shit teams...

Obviously, you don't understand the intricacies of SEC football.

No one is forcing you to read it.
