2016-17 College Football Bowl-a-Rama thread

If there's a better description of bowl season that that, I haven't seen it.

 

I didn't even mention the 5,000 attendance figure, and that's if none of those people realize there are better things to do on a Monday afternoon in Miami where it is 80 degrees.

 

Smart business decision.

 

5,000 attendance? I wasn't aware the Marlins scheduled games in December.

 

I'm working today and can't get there, but somehow life suddenly feels incomplete.

 

Agree...
Though TBL, a former Florida Gator QB and Donovan McNabb all over the supposed "me-first" mentality and worry that other players will follow suit. Heaven forbid prospective millionaires won't risk additional physical injury for a meaningless bowl games, where the schools make the same amount of money, win or lose.
That said ... how long until bowls start changing/or adding criteria to offset possible financial loss as a result of Fournette or McCaffery not playing?

 

I don't know if the NCAA and schools would want to open that can of worms. To them, a player's value, no matter how great they are, is supposed to be worth no more than a scholarship.

Telling a school, "We will cut your bowl payout by $100,000 if star Johnny Quarterback doesn't play," just gave that guy a $100,000 value. That's not what the NCAA and school wants.

 

Please do.

 

Did Tom Herman coach Houston against San Diego State this weekend?

 

Take Tulsa, lay the 12.5, and take 0ver 70.
This has 52-35ish written on it.

 

20-3 Tulsa late in the second quarter, but I'm sure you guys knew that already.

Alan Bestwick doing the play-by-play for this one. Not exactly the Daytona 500. A couple of weeks ago I said I hoped he'd just randomly yell "TROUBLE! Turn 2!" at this point in the game. He replied and said he wouldn't rule it out.

 

Actually was hoping for an update. Dora has conquered the TV here.
