Running 2011 Bowl Season Thread- Match-ups on Page 1

Hypothesis: Vanderbilt is a very, very limited offensive football team.

It's really not that often that you watch a feature back for a little while and think, "Boy, he's making a LOT of bad decisions."

 

Well, the Pac-12 will win at least one bowl game this season. Utah comes back from 14 down in the 4Q and tops Georgia Tech in OT.

Georgia Tech has found more ways to pull defeat out of victory than any team this side of Clemson.

Dare I say it, this Vanderbilt-Cincinnati game has been a pretty good game.

 

Illinois-UCLA lived up to its billing as the worst bowl matchup of all-time.

 

Unfortunate juxtaposition of phrases by Brad Nessler prior to the Chick-fil-A Bowl:

"It's raining cows inside the Georgia Dome. We'll check in with Holly when we come back."

 

Congrats to UCLA for securing a spot in the history books: the first Bowl team to finish two games below .500.

 

Eat mor Hollee?

 

Not true. North Texas went 5-7 in 2001, when they earned the automatic bid to the New Orleans Bowl as Sun Belt champion and lost to Colorado State.

 

The Bruins are the first bowl team to ever finish a season with eight losses.

 

Didn't Ohio State go 0-13 last year?

 

What the hell was Virginia wearing tonight?

 

I was watching the Chick-Fil-A Bowl tonight and thought to myself, "someone's going to bitch about these jerseys, and I think they are great." I have no ties to UVa at all.
