Bowl Selection Shows Open Thread

Thanks for ruining it for everyone!!

Will Heather Cocks be there?

Blue balled?

Apparently he is going to stay and coach the bowl game. Edit: Maybe not.

Only 2 losses, I guess? Hey they beat auburn....

That's all I got.

And I hope I get Dolly Parton for Christmas; it isn't going to happen.  Northern Illinois won't even have a real head coach for the game.

that'll show Discover!

That game is gonna be a gigantic steaming road apple

I'm just sad that NIU gives its location in its name.  I think it would've been quite the chuckle to listen to Southerners / Left Coast folks try to figure out where Kent State was.

In the new system, the highest ranked conference champion of the Big East, MWC, CUSA, Sun Belt, and MAC get an auto-bid to one of the six bowls. 

The only thing that would have changed is that two other teams would have been included. Someone still would have had to played NIU

I found the flaw--that makes way too much sense.

No, no, no.  You're doing it all wrong.  That system makes sense.  If there is one thing we've come to know about college football is that nothing is allowed to make sense.  If something would appear simple, it must be confused.  If a conference features schools in geographically sensible states, it must add schools at random.  If a recruit appears to be a perfect fit for a school, he must choose the opposite.  If an administrator states that he is looking out for competetive balance and tradition, he must only seek money and notoriety.

I know the weekly program is 30 mins, maybe some sort of contractual requirement regarding that.

Question: Does anyone know who the last unranked team to play in the Rose Bowl was? I have no clue.

you know how cute they like to be, what, with the camera angles and showing the crowd while the play is going on.

They are too cool for school man, you gotta know that by now.

I see nothing in that statement that expressed racial superiority or disdain for another ethnic group.

if your bent on looking for that kind of thing. I find, more times than not, that the who brings accusations of racism is typically the racist.

sorta hurhur way. Get's everyone's antennae up ABOUT race, but can't be accused of racISM. Old, tired trope of people generally uncomfortable about the whole mess but not capable of surrmounting their discomfort with insight. There's a lot of it around. Aherm.

Herm, what do you think about Michigan having a chance to trot out another special uniform?

Michigan may consider designing a special bowl game jersey if the opportunity presents itself. However, a final determination will be made later in the year.

 

 

 

Not to defend the NCAA, which has let some programs get away with murder, but I would say Ohio State got off light, directly compatred to USC. I think Ohio State deserved worse. Then again, I think USC deserved worse as well. And Miami still has yet to get hit, with people assuming they'll get hit hard.
