Gator Bowl, Heart of Dallas Bowl, Hall of Fame Bowl and Tangerine Bowl Open Thread

Submitted by Team 101 on

I thought it would help to have this all on one thread so we will know which game to watch since three B1G schools are on at the same time as the Winter Classic.

A nice, long band of rain across northern Florida will make this an interesting game perhaps. 

Georgia is doing everything possible to help Nebraska make a good drive of this. You would hope that, if the Huskers should score, they would thank the Bulldogs for the PI and unecessary roughness calls.

Serious question: is anyone/who is held accountable if this happens?  Obviously it's 95% the result of the teams and coaches performance, but does Jim Delaney or any other higher-ups have any responsibility to work towards putting a good product on the field?  The Big Ten, if it performs as poorly as most expect it to, will certainly be seen as the weakest of the power conferences and is adding two more doormats next year.  Does Jim Delaney just get to point to the supposed "new" TV revenue and tell us to be happy with bloated AD budgets and shit football or can he be canned for this crappy product?

Would really love it if the Nebraska score holds up.  A shitty Neb team beating one of the gems of the SEC would be great for the conference reputation.

Georgia is not that good this year. Yeah it's still the SEC, but even if Nebraska wins, all the likes of ESPN will talk about is that they beat a team plagued with injuries. And of course, if Georgia wins, it'll be because of that SEC speed, Georgia's grit and determination to not be denied, and that the Big Ten just can't compete.

Clowney seems to be one of the more overrated "can't-miss" prospects I've seen in some time.  He will probably do well in the NFL as a situational pass rusher, but he doesn't seem nearly as disruptive as guys like Suh, Watts, etc. were in college.

Its slightly irritating to see the rest of the Big a Ten playing well against their competition, looking like they have great shots to take home a W, meanwhile we get embarrassed and out-classed by a 7-5 KSU team. Even Iowa is still holding tough against LSU.

I hate being the Debbie Downer, but what the hell is wrong with our team?

Iowa has run 31 plays and managed 73 yards against the LSU defense. That's 2.35 yards per play on average. Yikes.

Also, did anyone else notice that LSU tried to Ferentz Ferentz by punting from the Iowa 32? Big Ten indeed.

That's why I don't understand going for it there. With two timeouts and over four minutes left I would have taken the field goal. You get a stop and then a field goal wins it. It's not like they have been stellar in the red zone today.
