OT: WOO Sunbelt Officials/Alamo Bowl Thread
I hate the Alamo Bowl. But its all I got on the television tonight. The stadium is pretty crappy, but if there is a bowl city I can't get enough of its San Antonio (partially as I live only 3 hours from it).
Here's hoping NU gets a big win for the Big10.
This running play Mizzou is trying with the WR coming over is not working thus far. The first two were ugly losses. Timing issue maybe?
Big interception!

All I hear from sports radio here in Vegas is how much they hate the Big 10. Here's hoping the B10 teams pull off some upsets and shuts a lot of people up

7-0 NU

I don't recall this game being on a Monday before. Is that always the case? Maybe I just wasn't working in the past b/c today blows. work work work...ahh well New Years Eve is coming to heal all wounds.
I do know that when Michigan was in the Alamo Bowl in 2005 I was in Santa Fe, NM for New Years. So, that was sweet as I was not working and that is always good.

The bowls are tied to dates in December or January, not days of the week. (The only exception is if January 1 falls on a Sunday, in which case the New Year's Bowls are moved to Jan. 2.) The Alamo Bowl has always occurred on either December 28 or 29.

ahhh good. A dumb question I suppose.

I did not even watch the 2005 Alamo Bowl. A rare UM game i did not watch. I spent much of that night in northern Michigan, drinking a beer in a hot tub with a hot chick.
Trust me, I was outkicking my coverage that night.
And, it seemed more preferable to watching a Michigan game when I had a chunk of change on the other team. UM was -11. That wasn't going to happen in a million years. I'll never forget that night.
In 1995, I was in the same northern Michigan area at a pretty big holiday party. A bunch of us were watching in the bar (we were at rented out restaurant) getting obliterated in the process.
basically, i have no memories of anything UM has done in the Alamo Bowl.

Why not just kick the ball out of bounds?! They were kicking it away from him all day until that fiasco.

Ward for the TD!

At least NW gave it a good run and didn't get blown out. Not sure about moral victories but at least this B10 team put up a good show

nw kicked ass and did the big 10 proud, unlike wisky. Pat fitzgerald should have been coach of the year, or maybe dantonio, as big of an asshole he is.

It's all up to Iowa now for repping the Big Ten. I give Northwestern props, I thought for sure they'd get killed.
