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!!!

PilotMan 12-20-2013 09:32 PM

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.

Thomkal 12-21-2013 06:15 AM

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.

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

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

MrBug708 12-21-2013 05:34 PM

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

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.

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......

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.

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.

NobodyHere 12-26-2013 11:09 PM

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

CU Tiger 12-27-2013 12:16 AM

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.

mckerney 12-27-2013 03:38 AM

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?

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.

He hasnt attended class all year and has lived off campus only coming to practices, and he was only an academic Sophomore coming in (in year 3)....conspiracy theorists suggest that the speeding ticket (in which he was stopped by a SC booster whos father played football for SC in the 70s) was created in order to allow him to be suspended for the bowl game without losing face. (He had already told team mates he wasnt going to risk injury and the academic thing)


"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.

JonInMiddleGA 12-28-2013 09:16 PM

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

CU Tiger 12-28-2013 09:22 PM

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)

Matthean 12-28-2013 09:58 PM

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.

M GO BLUE!!! 12-28-2013 11:18 PM

This game... just. Ugh.

Solecismic 12-28-2013 11:27 PM

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.

Matthean 12-28-2013 11:45 PM

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.
