Pizza Pizza Bowl Open Thread
The highly anticipated Pizza Bowl has arrived. Those of us that are already tired of our new toys and are suffering a one day college football withdraw are frothing at the mouth and are ready for this blockbuster.
No NFL tonight, so instead of Minnesota @ Philadelphia, we get FIU and Toldeo.
I have Toledo with 28 confidence points in the ESPN mgoblog pool.
Who do you have?
Anybody by chance enjoying a Little Cesaers pizza currently? Toppings? Breadsticks?
Over/Under for attendance of 10,000?

Well Toledo just returned a kickoff for a score making it 24-14. So it got a little more interesting? I don't doubt Toledo wins. FIU's offense sucks and can't do anything.
You should also try to catch a glimpse of Toledo's mascot. Yo-gabba-gabba material.
The score line shouldn't scare you, the matchup and bowl name should.
Update: Maybe I spoke too soon. 24-21.

I'd like to believe we just willed the game into being good again. No sooner did I post that previous comment than FIU decided to get all Devin-Hester-and-Forcier-Against-Baby-Seal good.
December 26th, 2010 at 11:10 PM ^
Hey Toledo QB. If you are going to get sacked and your body is facing backwards, don't throw the ball up for grabs. That is the kind of shit that could land you in the Humanitarian Bowl next year.

Toledoception on the 4 yard line. If Toledo gets some sort of offensive momentum together (big if), watch out Golden Panthers.
I wish this commentator would stop talking about all the facemasks he is seeing.
December 26th, 2010 at 11:29 PM ^
I've got 35 freakin' points on this game. Don't blow it Toledo
December 26th, 2010 at 11:34 PM ^
On a 1 1/2 - 2 point spread? I mean the other night someone had underdog Navy with like 34 points, but shouldn't you save that for say Oklahoma or Nebraska? Or at least a touchdown favorite?
December 26th, 2010 at 11:31 PM ^
And Toledo throws another interception. Guh. This must have been what it was like to watch my high school team play football.
December 26th, 2010 at 11:33 PM ^
Srsly? I need my 28 confidence points to get out of 135th place Toledo. Anytime you are done screwing with this Sun-Belt team, let us know.
December 26th, 2010 at 11:48 PM ^
Toledo must have gotten their forth quarter ideas and gameplay straight from the New York Giants self help book, "How to Close Out Games like a Champ".
December 26th, 2010 at 11:48 PM ^
I can't decide if this is ugly football with all the turnovers and special teams plays, or if it's a good game. I'm leaning toward ugly football. Does either team want to win this one?
December 26th, 2010 at 11:50 PM ^
Electronic Football - worst great game ever, or best bad game ever?
December 26th, 2010 at 11:55 PM ^
Connecticut consistently.

Some gossip might spice up this game.

Going for two? You are scared to go to overtime with FIU??!!
December 27th, 2010 at 12:02 AM ^
I tip my hat to the Rockets on that one. Why not go for the win? Wow.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:04 AM ^
He returned it to the second z of pizza!!
December 27th, 2010 at 12:08 AM ^
They give you the 30 yard line automatically and usually much more.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:13 AM ^
Anyone else think the Toledo WR dropped that two-point conversion? I sure thought I saw the football drop to the turf as he was going down.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:15 AM ^
I didn't see it. Anyway for a posted clip?
I am more worried right now about Toledo dropping this game.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:15 AM ^
I was wrong, the end of this game has been pretty entertaining.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:17 AM ^
For overtime.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:18 AM ^
stop the 4th down play?
December 27th, 2010 at 12:30 AM ^
They can't do that.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:17 AM ^
What a finish! O_O
December 27th, 2010 at 12:18 AM ^
DAMN SHIT FART my bowl picks sheet -------------> trash
December 27th, 2010 at 12:19 AM ^
Woah, that was pretty entertaining. I guess I wanted Toledo to win, but I'll take an entertaining finish no matter what.
Mario Cristobal, stop talking about stealing plays from Boise. Someone else ran the hook and ladder before them you know.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:19 AM ^
Ohio.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:19 AM ^
If he calls that out, as it SHOULD be called, they can't overturn it because he's obviously out short of the 1st. But NOOooo... he had to call it wrong, and then there's not INDUSPUTABLE evidence... Bastard.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:22 AM ^
You know, for all the grief the Motor City/Pizza Bowl gets, it seems to deliver a good game every year.
December 27th, 2010 at 12:21 AM ^
What in the hell song were they playing after the game? Sounds like Shirley Temple or something
December 27th, 2010 at 12:33 AM ^
Well done, I guess my real question is why? Doesn't really scream we just won our first bowl game! Probably just because it's Motown but I feel like they could of found better
December 27th, 2010 at 12:25 AM ^
for Harbaugh...SF threads? Singletary out in SF.
