The Belk Bowl Open Thread

I had to look up Belk.com this morning because I honestly didn't know it was a department store.

Anyway, our contestants here are Louisville (7-5) versus North Carolina State (7-5), so another struggle of so-so teams in another randomly sponsored bowl. 

Have fun with this one as well.  If there is anything I can do to make these threads better - like more onside kicks as in the Pizza Bowl - let me know. 

ESPN at 8 PM. Line is N.C. State by 2.5, I think.

It is nicer than Penny's or Sears but not quite as nice as JL Hudson's back in the day. Thus my comparison to Crowley's.

We're really starting to see some obscure bowls these days. Ones where I have literally never heard of the bowl or the sponsor, and both teams playing are regional, to put it politely.

My favorite has to be the "Beef O'Brady's Bowl". We don't have that restaurant where I live, so that one just kind of gives me a grin. Funny name, sez me . . . .

would've taken would be a few switched votes in a poll or two or a few re-programmed computers, since 3 teams tied at 5-2 and they ended up using their "top team in the BCS ranking" tie-breaker.

But a WV loss would have done it as well.

I'm surprised no one has made the Belk/Kohl's comparison. Kohl's is basically a Belk clone.... and I say it like that because Belk has been around for 120+ years, Kohl's about 50.

I shopped at Belk while I was visiting family for the holidays, and noted the similarity between the two (although it wasn't always this way).... especially the pricing scheme where nearly every rack in the store has a sign that says 40-70% off. But the tagged price is something outrageous that you wouldn't pay anywhere for that item. And when you check out, they make sure to point out that "you saved $74.52 today!" .... on 2 shirts.  Right.

It's a nice store with some name brands, decent-quality house brands, and reasonable prices. Just like Kohl's.

I automatically downvote "B1G"

It may very well be "Turnover Tuesday".

Speaking of, that pass was a perfect  candidate for QB Oh Noes. 

Pile on the false start, it's 3rd and 24. QB draw, anyone? Texas  Tech tried it once. Once. 

EDIT: Hooray for fumbled snaps. Louisville with 1st and Goal, now minus 3. Is there something about greased balls that is just a thing? Wait, bad question...

Of course there's a blocked punt. Too many bowls.

It's all John Navarre's fault.

It needs a stripped ball at the goal line.

We demand better-played bowl games with fewer errors and more power running immediately!

You'll be one of the millions not watching the Military Bowl or the Holiday Bowl tomorrow. You won't find these things there.

Exactly. Every time a QB scrambles, a devil gets its horns.

I guess I'm more trendy than you. I think coaches should consider a toss sweep if they're down 10 or more in the 2nd half. No guts, no glory.

It's all John Navarre's fault.

They are very hard to cover when you're about a mile from the receiver. There is some bad run defense in this game too. It's another theme for the day.

The last three plays:

  1. Dropped pass
  2. Shotgun snap rolled to the QB. Sacked.
  3. Low snap on the punt, barely gets the kick off, punt returner has a chance to return and trips on his own feet

Belk's got its money worth with this baby.

It's all John Navarre's fault.

This thread is very underrated. My gift to you all. Now maybe if I drink enough beer the game will turn into another MACtastic Classic.

I haven't been watching closely, but I don't think Belk's is actually advertising during the game. The CMO probably assumed being a title sponsor for a bowl game between 7-5 also-rans was enough and returned the rest of the budget.

It's all John Navarre's fault.

Maybe the  free shipping on orders over $75 (per the site) managed to put a few bums in the seats? It might be the only reason I would go other than being a CFB junkie. 

So, NC State's QB had the right idea, but bad timing, underthrown, interception....no, you don't  throw into coverage like that. 

EDIT: MOAR FUMBLES! I DON'T CARE WHO RECOVERS THEM!

Safe search is on, BTW.

Looks like they took the competing teams bowling as part of the big lead-up to the Belk Bowl... that's got to be one of the worst pre-bowl sponsored activities I have ever heard of.

On a different note, though, as ridiculously lame as this game continues to be, it is one of the better attended bowl games* that I have seen thus far... which means more Belk Bowls in our future.  Attendance at bowl games thus far has been really really low.  At some point, you think this system has to collapse, right?

I like college football. 35 bowl games is too many IMO. You should have to have a positive (not .500) record against FBS teams to compete in a bowl. Right now, most teams make a bowl.

Whatcha gonna do, little brother?
