12/26/09 Bowl Open Thread... RAWRCATZ edition
I guess if I was betting money, I'd bet against all of my bowl pick'em choices. I'm currently sporting a 2-4 record. Marshall just returned a punt to go up 14-0.
Lots of good games. Open thread for the day can start here.

The Motor Pizza bowl is featuring a female line judge. Pretty cool. One can only hope she's better at her job than Pam Ward is.
December 26th, 2009 at 1:56 PM ^
not necessarily the gameplay, just Pam Ward being all Pam Ward
December 26th, 2009 at 2:04 PM ^
I want to watch the Little Caesars Bowl except Pam Ward's Voice is making me blind with rage.
December 26th, 2009 at 2:23 PM ^
ALL YOUR HALFTIME MOMENTUMS ARE BELONG TO US!!!
December 26th, 2009 at 2:38 PM ^
The matchup is uninteresting and Pam Ward is "working" the game. Usually, either one of these is a borderline deal-breaker. A scenario that involves both at the same time is too much for me to tolerate.

Bowl Chronicles had better majo at mgo than at jcb
C'mon RAWRCATZ.
Is it wrong that I chased them -2 on the 2nd half line? I should be spending time with the family not chasing bad bets on crappy bowl games.
Tis the season all around.

Every comment I've tried to make at JCB has been marked spam. You're Not Supposed to be Here edition isn't showing up on the JCB. Had to go back and look it up in the RSS reader. Thought that was odd.

Dang, thanks for the heads up on today's post. I dont what happened there. I blame my northern Michigan vacation and this tasty mixture of rum and egg nog on all technical difficulties the last few days.
I have no clue whats up with the comments. Thanks for letting me know as I had no idea people were getting pushed away like that. I'll get my 'people' on it.

Although, I will say the Pitt/UNC game is one I am really looking forward to. Love the recruiting the programs have done.
Big fan of the talent on the UNC team. If they only had a competent offense, this team could be dangerous.
December 26th, 2009 at 4:10 PM ^
I've been struggling with the UNC Pitt game all day. I so expect some ACC Roulette/Pitt collapse.
And Marshall misses the FG. Go RAWRCATZ! 1 minute to score a TD. No TOs.

A whistle in the stands, we can't have that. That's a new
one.
Take it easy on Pam Ward, a man has to make a living.
I can't wait to see how USC performs in a bowl outside
of Southern California.
December 26th, 2009 at 3:57 PM ^
Damn it Ohio here we come! Salvage my 2-4 record please.
21-17 Marshall.
December 26th, 2009 at 4:12 PM ^
And Marshall seals it with a pick. Bad decision by RAWRCATZ QB.
December 26th, 2009 at 4:21 PM ^
i don't know which is more remarkable - that people bought my 2nd row 40 yd line tix to that game for $80+ each or that i kind of wouldn't have minded being at the game.
December 26th, 2009 at 4:34 PM ^
I wouldn't mind being there. I never saw a football game at Ford Field, much less a Motor City bowl. I'm working on Texas Bowl tickets for next weekend. Haven't been to the home town bowl yet either. Navy vs Mizzou should be a pretty solid game to boot.
December 26th, 2009 at 4:13 PM ^
RAWRCATZ has faded to just a whimper. Poor pass.
December 26th, 2009 at 4:14 PM ^
Paul says he quits if BC beats USC. The way these favorites are falling, I think I'm with him.
December 26th, 2009 at 4:16 PM ^
Tuned in just in time for the pick - congrats to Marshall, too bad for the RAWRCATZ
December 26th, 2009 at 4:56 PM ^
So UNC had about 7 penalties on the touchdown drive, including at least 4 on first and goal. Of course Greg Little punts the ball into the stands on the touchdown. Wooo excessive celebration.
December 26th, 2009 at 4:58 PM ^
Nice punt - for -15 yds. LOL.
December 26th, 2009 at 5:08 PM ^
This game is going just as I expected - everything is going UNC's way right now. Now dammit if I hadn't talked myself out of picking UNC. Still early.
December 26th, 2009 at 5:08 PM ^
Hahahaha, Pitt RB reaching for the goalline, fumbles the ball into the endzone and out of bounds. Touchback.
This is a funny game so far.
December 26th, 2009 at 5:09 PM ^
I'd hate to see UNC without Greg Little. They can't run for more than 2 yards at a time.
December 26th, 2009 at 5:10 PM ^
December 26th, 2009 at 5:11 PM ^
Pitt gets the ball back! ROFL!
Seems to me like it was a catch, as he turned with the ball before getting hit.
December 26th, 2009 at 5:14 PM ^
I like the bomb after a turnover. Nice coverage.
December 26th, 2009 at 6:11 PM ^
Nice UM ESPN add on our victory over UF.
Good game, I love the post TD punt into the
crowd.
December 26th, 2009 at 6:54 PM ^
Urban Meyer leaving?!?! No way!
December 26th, 2009 at 6:56 PM ^
Yeah dude I just heard the same thing...I hope he and his family are okay, I can't imagine he'd leave at this point unless it were something really big/pressing. . .
December 26th, 2009 at 7:26 PM ^
Wow, NC offsides on FG attempt, Pitt can run some more clock.
December 26th, 2009 at 8:01 PM ^
cpt, I can't believe it, either. Urban Meyer steps down.
December 26th, 2009 at 10:17 PM ^
Anyone watching BC vs USC? Name of the game has burn turn overs. Also they had the same kid from game day give an interview (Jason?), what a tough kid, wasn't even phased. Kinda makes me feel bad for hoping USC gets stomped.
December 26th, 2009 at 10:20 PM ^
Damn, I have been watching this game and it seems that most every call goes to SC including two of the most egregious video reviews of all time.
December 26th, 2009 at 10:22 PM ^
Agreed - both that reception and punt return should have been towards BC. Home field advantage FTL
December 26th, 2009 at 10:26 PM ^
At least they missed the FG.
December 27th, 2009 at 12:15 AM ^
Went to the pizza pizza bowl today and didnt get any pizza.. It was a good game. My wife went to Marshall so we drove down. I wore my Michigan Edwards Jersey (:
