Start of Bowl Season Open Thread/New Mexico/Potato/New Orleans Bowl

Submitted by M-Wolverine on

We'll see how it goes. If there's a lot of interest, or a lot of other posts shoving it down the front page, we can do one for each bowl.  If it's a slow day, this can take care of all 3 bowl games today.  It's not like it's the Rose Bowl or anything today.  Though I am anxious to see the offense of Temple. I hear their OC is pretty good.  And SDS later should look familiar.  Ohio/Utah ST? Yeah, I got nothing.  But that doesn't have to matter in these threads.  It's for the fun, the love of college football. And werid JHackney pictures.  So come one, come all, come Blue Dragon, and let's enjoy the cheesy greatness/awfulness of the bowl season.

 

Edit: We've had 3 new threads since kickoff, and 10 still below it on the front page. I'm not bumping stuff for a new thread for each of these bowls. Someone might on New Year's Day or something.  If a mod wants separate threads for these, be my guest, just seems a waste of space. If something groundbreaking happens that bumps this off the front page, we probably won't care about the bowls anymore anyway.

First game going well..I gave the points.  We'll see about Utah State and SDS later.

Well that game turned out to be entertaining. Hopefully we will get a similarly exciting game with SDSU/UL-Lafayette.

I was just thinking about that. Some of them seem to be very low, which is odd considering this stadium is large.

While I am of course looking forward to Michigan's being in the Sugar Bowl, I hate watching games that are indoors. Football isn't meant to be played inside, but oh well, it's worth it.

If not, does it matter? I'm not rooting for Saban just because he put us higher.

<br>Figure if they win and the program sustains some success, it reflects well on Hoke, which reflects well on Michigan. (though probably not so much that it's worth rooting for them if you picked LL).

If he did it because he'sbitter towards Hoke for no reason, I think I don't like him. It's not actually a big deal, but for someone who doesn't do bowl pick-ems but still enjoys rooting interests it's important.
