Official College Football Bowls/Postseason
 

Had to get this going this week.

NDSU is rolling 31-7 just before half. The defense has been in control all game.

FRISCO is CALLING!!!

45-7 now.

The team is averaging almost 10 yards per carry and the defense still hasn't allowed 100 yards total yet.

I've never seen a team at this level that can just completely dominate every facet of the game. Yeah they have had some weak halves but they have always found a way to win.

Only score for NH is a pick 6 on the first possession of the game.

One of the most impressive stats for the team this year: They have allowed 7 punt return yards. Total. Long of 5. That's it.

Congrats to NDSU! They are looking pretty unstoppable right now.

I'm all for Bohl getting a third ring before heading to Laramie. Works for me.

Meanwhile, UW-Whitewater won their 4th D3 title in 5 years over Mount Union in the D3 Stagg Bowl. It's the 9th straight national title appearance for Pierre Garcon's alma mater and for Whitewater, it's their 5th national championship in school history, all coming since 2007 and each time, they've beaten Mount Union to claim the title.

Clearly whatever game they're playing isn't the same game as everyone else.

An oldish Grantland article about Mount Union's absurd dominance, even this another title game loss.: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/...h-larry-kehres

This NDSU team had 24 seniors on it. When they were freshmen, they lost in the Semi's to eventual champs Eastern Washington. As sophs and juniors, they won. As seniors they went undefeated, including beating Kansas State on the road in the opener. It would be totally appropriate to play Eastern again this year to try and complete the circle.

Our QB Brock Jensen has been the starter for all 4 years. That's one helluva ride. During that time he has beaten not only K-State, but Minnesota, Colorado State, and Kansas. This level is just hard to wrap my head around.

Well based on one half of football it sure seems like Derek Carr got his happy feet from his brother. Doesn't look like a first round pick to me.

Wazzu has imploded!

Someone is getting locked in the shed

From the "He is actually a coach?!" file, former Steeler, Dolphin and Cardinal LB Joey Porter is on the CSU coaching staff.

Always fun to see the Cougs cougin it!

Undergrad assistant IIRC

Work hard and you get to go to Idaho in December for your bowl game!

USC trying to run the score up and in danger of letting FSU back in the game. No worries, no PAC-12 team blew a bowl game today

And THAT my friends is a classic example of why the term "Cougin' it" exists.

How freakin ironic is it that Towson and NDSU will play for the FCS National Championship, but on this very same day, both schools basketball teams play, in what I think is the first matchup between them ever.

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Towson can win, but I think it is unlikely. They cannot turn the ball over like they do because NDST is too talented and they can't take a quarter off like they normally do. They are extremely talented but can't seem to put together a complete game.

When Coach Ambrose took over in 2009 his first two seasons were a combined 3-19. I really believe he will be coaching at the FBS level next year.

wow that's pretty wild

Gardner looks to be out with turf toe that was originally deemed "not an issue" and thus Shane Morris looks to start for Michigan. I doubt Morris will do much, but for Gardner's sanity, he's likely hoping Morris doesn't do too well since fans have been itching for Morris to get reps ever since he committed.

Hilarious. For those that wonder why college football players love to go to a bowl game......

Missouri Tigers Go Crazy When They Find out They Get iPad Minis as Bowl Swag | Bleacher Report

Shocking. Pinstripe Bowl and another are giving out PS4s

Sun Bowl is giving out hair dryers

But a free tattoo will get you suspended.

Boise St. sent home their starting QB from their bowl game for urinating off a hotel balcony. Three other players pointed the finger at him. The team dropped him off at the airport at noon for an 8PM flight. He says he didn't do it, and got a polygraph done as soon as he got back to Boise. Not sure how that'll help. Sounds like a fun week for the stand-in coach. Edit: I wonder if he still gets his Ipad Mini or PS4 or whatever.

Sounds like the Pinstripe Bowl has stepped its swag up a notch.

Weird . Since the NCAA allowed iPads to be issued in 2011 as film study aids, I didn't know a college around that hadn't already given all their athletes iPads. And Uhhh yeah iTunes fraud is the new 50 hand shake.

They probably got happy because they're easy to sell.

For the second time in a month Jadaveon Clowney is ticketed for driving 30+ mph over....

Long career ahead of him.

2 speeding tickets, looks like we got the next Aaron Hernandez on our hands.

2 30+ mph speeding tickets.
1 of which was for 110mph the other 88 in a residential zone...in 23 days.

Id say it is at least worth mentioning, no?

Never said he was Hernandez, though I know for a fact one NFL scout has made that exact comparison. But in the Body of Tarzan, brain of the cheetah sense not in the multi murderer sense.

Still happy that Bowling Green saved us from having NIU in a BCS bowl again this year.

I thought the first ticket was a bunch of bullshit made up to cover for him being academically ineligible for the bowl game?

- Chris Rock

I loved Spurrier's answers when asked about the latest ticket. The ol' ball coach ain't exactly good at hiding his feelings ;)

Just to be clear. This is what I said on 12/10.


"Conspiracy Theorists suggest"

That said, I still maintain that he is academically ineligible and that Spurrier is aware of that fact. I have been told however that he will play as the NCAA has no teeth here regarding bowl games after the tOSU charade a few years back.

Defense is playing well, offense is moving the ball well, and you just decided to kick a FG on 4th and goal from the 2 (after running unsuccessfully 3 straight times). So what do you do when you are driving the next series and get it down to the 20? Half-back option FTP (for the pick)!!

Ditch Flood!

Plus One. Then you call a timeout with 30 seconds left in the half and let them punt, then proceed to take a knee with 2 timeouts left. Mind-boggling.

Give the Notre Dame kicker the Oscar.

Did not see a UNC blowout in the cards.

Louisville looking real good tonight. Bridgewater's put on a show.

Miami before FSU: 124 pts allowed in 7 games ... 17.7 ppg vs 3 bowl eligible teams
Miami FSU & after: 224 pts allowed in 6 games ... 37.3 ppg vs 5 bowl eligible teams

With Duke vs without ....

That was, incidentally, how I started to post it ... and then I realized they gave up 35 to FSU before Duke got hurt ('Noles only added 2 FG's after Johnson's last carry)

For all of the talk on Michigan's offense, the defense, which has near zero reasons to be this subpar, has performed terrible and continues to do so. I know Michigan needs DL but still.

This game... just. Ugh.

I'm glad I haven't bothered turning on the television. This is just a lost year in Michigan sports.

And now we have basketball without our All-America center to look forward to watching.

Anyone notice the Big Ten went 14-1 in the first two rounds of the NCAA volleyball tournament - the one that ended with Penn State beating Wisconsin? Yeah, no surprise about that -1 there.

I legitimately don't understand Michigan's offensive game plan. Freshman QB starting his first game and asked to throw more than twice as much as they run the ball. Seven "rushers" with a total of 13 carries. 5-star RB you recruited has a carry for 5 yards and got it in the second half while your TE/WE had two carries in the first half.

To be fair...FSU has done that to everyone though.

Mone or Peppers please!

They were trying not to slip in the draft?

I like the helmets that Navy is wearing.

As someone who works for the federal government, I feel like I should never be in my office at the same time that Navy is playing a football game.

FTFM.

I've watched the Navy - MTSU game for all of 5 minutes and all I've noticed is what a bunch of dirty stupid mother fuckers play for Middle Tennessee State.

I really oughta be more excited (or at least interested) in this GT-Ole Miss game.

Sadly this game is going exactly how I expected. 20-7 Ole Miss, looking to score again.

For the love of all that's holy ... will the powers that be PLEASE put Georgia Tech fans out of Paul Johnson's misery?

He's like the Reggie Ball of coaches.

Makes sense - our two stops don't count due to offensive penalties, then they convert

Frustrated

Hate to be in charge of selling GT season tickets next year: home games against Wofford and Georgia Southern, plus the year with the craptastic ACC lineup + Clemson. At least the fans will be pumped for traveling to Tulane to play.

Shitty home schedules = shitty home attendance = no money to dispose of crappy coach. Rinse and repeat.

Oh, but at least we keep the bowl streak going.

Hey, at least there's two possibly winnable games on the slate.

I'm not so sure - Georgia Southern is much more disciplined in running their option than GT is.

When I got home, my son was finishing up watching the Ole Miss game (he has not missed a single bowl game and will not since he doesn't go back to school until the 7th). I commented to him that it has probably been 12 years since GT has completed a forward pass. Maybe one of these years, they will progress to at least the 1980s.

That's funny, but Demaryius Thomas and Calvin Johnson say hi.

And has at least as much D1 talent.

That was the outcome I was afraid of when they announced Oregon as the team Texas would face in the Alamo Bowl. But the defense played much better than I was expecting, and the offense was abysmal.

And that ends the 16 year Mack Brown era. The good times far outweighed the bad. 2nd winning-est coach in Texas history, and #10 all time.

Washington RB Bishop Sankey to enter NFL Draft - CBSSports.com

sad to see him go but don't blame him. ASF gone as well.

Uh oh, Izulde. Look who one of my buddies (who might be the biggest North Texas fan on the planet) ran into tonight at a bar in Dallas.

Holy hell.

It is almost hard to believe that this same team is where Megatron was catching passes not too long ago.

:lol: In town for the Heart of Dallas Bowl, of course. But yeah, that would be something... first UNT steals our terrific president and then they'd turn around and steal our coach.

Peach Bowl has been simply ridiculous

I was trying to find this thread. Saw a few minutes in the first half and saw it wasn't much of a game with something like 24-10 Duke. But now A&M has a 52-48 lead with Duke with the ball

SI

...And it's over

SI

Tragic that such horrible officiating mars such an amazing game.

The final couple of minutes were called like the refs had cash riding on it.

No kidding. And it's not like it was a big name bowl or anything where it mattered a lot who won. Obviously it mattered to A&M and Duke but not like a high profile game.

SI

Yeah, I was so pissed at the refs screwing the ending of a great game, it's ridiculous. And the Johnny Football fellating by the announcers, while expected, also irritated.

Couldn't watch - what happened?

Watching Johnny football jump around pumping his teammates up made him look silly. He looked like a ten year old with all the big guys around.

Agreed.

Damn him for having fun.

Watching the 2005 Iowa/LSU Cap One Bowl on BTN right now in preparation for the Outback today. This was a great game if you havent seen it. LSU is down by 12 with 12 minutes left in the game right now. JaMarcus Russell has entered the game at QB.

Cant wait for the Outback.

Go Hawks!

I dont think he was having fun, throwing his helmet trying to get in Mike's face as he walked away and ignored him.

Thankful for a 10 win season for UCLA after dismantling VT is a rather boring way

Dear Heart of Dallas Bowl announcers, I realize this is a de facto home game for North Texas, but there's more than one team in this game.

Wait UNLV plays football. I thought they only had the basketball Running Rebels.

Scary start for Iowa. LSU ran it down our throats for a TD. And Iowa just punted on the 1st possession.

Im nervous.

Sure seems like it sometimes.

7-7 at the half. Been a tight, close game with neither team able to break through other than one drive, and we'd be up 7-0 if our true frosh punt returner hadn't fumbled the ball.

I think having a 7-5 mountain west team against an 8-4 conference USA team on the same day as the rose bowl is a disgrace to the college football tradition.

That's nice. I don't. With the NCAA and college football's long history of corruption and pursuit of the dollar above everything else, being offended at a minor bowl game on New Year's Days is pretty silly and petty IMO.

Considering the rich and prestigious history of the rose bowl, why would you have two non AQ teams playing on the same day as the most important bowl game. I wish they would have the cotton before the rose bowl.

Why can't defensive backs hold the ball as they cross the goal line. It's stupid but it's not that hard

Whew. Gonna be a good finish in the Cap One.

Badgers wout this decent QB though. Phillips is close to worthless..so our RBs will need to be big in laat ten minutes.

I feel bad for Georgia. They came into the season a top 5 team, the favorite to win the sec east, a heisman trophy candidate in Aaron Murray. But injuries to Murray and their top 3 receivers and top 2 running backs just destroy their season. Too bad Nebraska won; I just can't stand Bo Pelini.

Let the conspiracy theories begin. LSU -7.5 against Iowa and the refs overturn a call that should never have been to reverse a recovered fumble and let Iowa keep the ball on the LSU 5 with just over a minute left and LSU leading by 14. Iowa of course then scores the next play

More sad, it is currently the Big Ten's only bowl win.

MSU gets a gift on a pass interference call in the end zone, but our genius of a head coach calls for the Wildcat from our own 5 yard line with no motion. 10-7 Stanford right now.

Gift Pick Six right there.

I doubt Shaw will be getting looks at other jobs after this game. It feels like MSU should be up by more and can still easily pull away.
