2017 CFB Bowl Games Open Thread

Love that hold right in front of the ref.

Bingo. Another instance of the replay official having no clue as to the rule he is supposedly applying.

this is why i don't think more money (full-time officials) or better training will make much of a difference. how does extra training make someone choose what should have been the blatantly obvious call? these refs just need performance reviews that result in fewer games and fewer big-time games. take away their income and "reward" those who perform well.

Shit. I can't root for those tools. Go bucky.

Shoot me.

The Pac-12 is soft. I've been saying it for years.

I guess Oregon State has self reported themselves for a minor rules violation and have given themselves a one game death penalty.

Good luck to the rest of the B1G and South Carolina!

Aw, c'mon, you guys...tackle somebody.

This is the Wiscy way in bowl games. Rush for 5+ yards right up the gut at will, but decide to "mix it up" just enough to kill drives and then finish the game losing close despite outrushing the opponent by 200 yards. Still, from what I've seen so far, they should realize that they can just trample the 'Canes.

I could believe that, but I’ve been watching this kid most of the year. There has to be someone on the sideline that can play a better game than him. Strap a cheerleader with a helmet and give them a shot. Hornibrook makes JT look like Peyton Manning.

Their stud TE can only bail him out so many times. Kid is awful.

I mean, could be the alcohol talking, but I swear he should not be starting for any FBS team.

Lol...

Wisky defense looking really slow.

Exactly. Someone needs to sit that clown replay official down, show him the replay, tell him the rule (which he clearly doesn't know), and explain to him why there's no way in hell that play met the threshold needed to overturn a call.

Pitt's defense must be awfully fucking fast, given what they did to Miami.

I like how they talk about the "Orange Bowl atmosphere" like that fucking place didn't spend most of it's last 20 years half empty.

 

[ZEKE103]

Still can’t come to terms with the fact that the lower seeded team in this still gets a god damn home game. Then SEC refs to boot with their southern pride horseshizz.

That being said, Wisconsin learn how to tackle.

Those are some hearty fans down there.

Mark Richt has had quite an interesting journey.
From Omaha, Nebraska.
Played QB at "The U."
Coached at Gawja for a long time till unceremoniously given the hook (say "You're welcome, Kirby Smart).
Goes down to his alma and gets them to the Orange Bowl.
Hard to root against a guy like that...

Till you see this:

And since when has Da U ever had pride stickers?!?

 

[OSU_Buckguy]

of course wisconsin gets called for holding. these officials.
