Start of Bowl Season Open Thread/New Mexico/Potato/New Orleans Bowl
We'll see how it goes. If there's a lot of interest, or a lot of other posts shoving it down the front page, we can do one for each bowl. If it's a slow day, this can take care of all 3 bowl games today. It's not like it's the Rose Bowl or anything today. Though I am anxious to see the offense of Temple. I hear their OC is pretty good. And SDS later should look familiar. Ohio/Utah ST? Yeah, I got nothing. But that doesn't have to matter in these threads. It's for the fun, the love of college football. And werid JHackney pictures. So come one, come all, come Blue Dragon, and let's enjoy the cheesy greatness/awfulness of the bowl season.
Edit: We've had 3 new threads since kickoff, and 10 still below it on the front page. I'm not bumping stuff for a new thread for each of these bowls. Someone might on New Year's Day or something. If a mod wants separate threads for these, be my guest, just seems a waste of space. If something groundbreaking happens that bumps this off the front page, we probably won't care about the bowls anymore anyway.
First game going well..I gave the points. We'll see about Utah State and SDS later.

"boy"?
December 17th, 2011 at 8:54 PM ^
I think that comment proves they are SEC refs
December 17th, 2011 at 8:51 PM ^
Epic ref fail.
December 17th, 2011 at 8:52 PM ^
1st and goal at the 6-inch line.
December 17th, 2011 at 8:52 PM ^
Holy referee chaos, Batman! At least they went back and got it right, but how did they mess that up?
December 17th, 2011 at 8:53 PM ^
Ohio Bobcats? They got the call right.
December 17th, 2011 at 8:53 PM ^
The ref said "the boy who caught the ball" ... lol. Racist?
December 17th, 2011 at 8:54 PM ^
I heard that too. Im still laughing my @ss off.
December 17th, 2011 at 9:02 PM ^
lol. Somebody tell that ref that they aren't on a plantation.
December 17th, 2011 at 8:55 PM ^
What a finish.
December 17th, 2011 at 8:56 PM ^
"An enemy of my enemy is my friend" Go Bobcats
December 17th, 2011 at 8:58 PM ^
December 17th, 2011 at 8:57 PM ^
The refs are from the SEC. Everything is clear now.
December 17th, 2011 at 8:59 PM ^
24-23 Ohio Bobcats in a finish that nearly became "The Play" all over again.
15 points for me on this game.
December 17th, 2011 at 8:59 PM ^
First bowl win for Ohio.
December 17th, 2011 at 8:59 PM ^
made up for the 10 minutes it took to make one call.
December 17th, 2011 at 9:03 PM ^
Well that game turned out to be entertaining. Hopefully we will get a similarly exciting game with SDSU/UL-Lafayette.
December 17th, 2011 at 9:02 PM ^
Go Aztecs!
December 17th, 2011 at 9:04 PM ^
Is this game in the Superdome?
December 17th, 2011 at 9:06 PM ^
Scout out your seats.
December 17th, 2011 at 9:19 PM ^
Or scout how terrible these TV camera angles are. Ugh. Not looking forward to watching a game I care about at the Superdome.
December 17th, 2011 at 9:32 PM ^
I was just thinking about that. Some of them seem to be very low, which is odd considering this stadium is large.
While I am of course looking forward to Michigan's being in the Sugar Bowl, I hate watching games that are indoors. Football isn't meant to be played inside, but oh well, it's worth it.
December 17th, 2011 at 10:03 PM ^
Denard on turf ... see ya
December 17th, 2011 at 10:04 PM ^
I salivated thinking about that.
December 17th, 2011 at 10:19 PM ^
Field turf
December 17th, 2011 at 10:56 PM ^
Never said it didn't

Brock Huard = Evil Kirk Herbsteet
December 17th, 2011 at 9:10 PM ^
A goatee?
December 17th, 2011 at 9:15 PM ^
He's very creepy
December 17th, 2011 at 9:09 PM ^
Do we still root for SDSU after Rocky Long put us low on his coaches poll ballot?
December 17th, 2011 at 9:13 PM ^
If not, does it matter? I'm not rooting for Saban just because he put us higher.
<br>
<br>Figure if they win and the program sustains some success, it reflects well on Hoke, which reflects well on Michigan. (though probably not so much that it's worth rooting for them if you picked LL).
December 17th, 2011 at 9:18 PM ^
If he did it because he'sbitter towards Hoke for no reason, I think I don't like him. It's not actually a big deal, but for someone who doesn't do bowl pick-ems but still enjoys rooting interests it's important.
December 17th, 2011 at 9:57 PM ^
Though I can't figure why he'd BR bitter over getting promoted to head coach.
<br>
<br>If he even bothered to have anything to do with the voting himself.
December 17th, 2011 at 9:11 PM ^
Drink!
December 17th, 2011 at 9:11 PM ^
It was all about complementary colors in this game, right?
December 17th, 2011 at 9:20 PM ^
This camera angle is almost unwatchable, hopefully they change it for the Sugar Bowl
December 17th, 2011 at 9:26 PM ^
If these are the camera angles they use for the sugar bowl i might throw a remote into my tv.
December 17th, 2011 at 9:30 PM ^
Yeah, it's going to be tough for me to see from row 15.
December 17th, 2011 at 9:55 PM ^
As row 35.
December 17th, 2011 at 9:28 PM ^
The Raging Cajuns are going for the air assault for now.
December 17th, 2011 at 9:39 PM ^
It's just a thing to be bleeding on the Louisiana-Lafayette sidelines. Raging Cajuns indeed.
December 17th, 2011 at 9:41 PM ^
He looks pretty good out there
December 17th, 2011 at 9:44 PM ^
Move over Jake Delhomme.
December 17th, 2011 at 10:07 PM ^
December 17th, 2011 at 10:08 PM ^
I don't think it's a first down
December 17th, 2011 at 10:10 PM ^
