Super Tuesday Bowl Game Thread: 5 Bowl Games in One Day!
5 Bowl Games. 12+ hours. All back to back to back to back to back on the same network on the SAME DARN DAY... with ZERO covid cancelations announced by the deadline! ... On a Tuesday! And they *should* be competitive and/or interesting (e.g. the Mike Leach Bowl of Miss State vs Texas Tech... complete with threats of lawsuits on missed backpay and CJK5H!)
God Bless bowl season.
Enjoy!

I'll be at the West Virginia - Minnesota game this evening in Phoenix. It's called the "Guaranteed Rate Bowl," but in past years it was the "Copper Bowl," and the "Cactus Bowl." My wife hails from West Virginia, which is the reason we're going.
We went the last time WVU came to town for the bowl, but that was against Arizona State, so it was essentially a home game for ASU. It'll be interesting to see how many people show up for WVU vs. Minnesota way out in Phoenix.
December 28th, 2021 at 11:30 AM ^
Or how many stay up and watch. I live in Huntington and even the diehard WVU fans who have to work today and tomorrow are skeptical about staying up that late
December 28th, 2021 at 11:51 AM ^
It's called the "Guaranteed Rate Bowl"
I predict that in ten years NC State will be playing Maryland in the "Viagra Fight Against ED Bowl"

Let's see if ol' P.J. can get the boat rowing after dark.
December 28th, 2021 at 4:05 PM ^
I'm gonna guess she gets the ol boat rowing after dark

Username checks out... after checking it out

Programming correction: The Holiday Bowl is on Fox, unlike the others which are all ESPN.
December 28th, 2021 at 11:23 AM ^
Ouch... thought all were espn.
December 28th, 2021 at 11:04 AM ^
Oh yeah--I'm here for this 12 hour-plus bowl action. JUST STICK IT RIGHT IN MY VEINS!
December 28th, 2021 at 11:14 AM ^
After today, hope the SEC is 0-4, Minny wins, Air Force, and UCLA (with good action by Charbonnet).
As much as I would love to beat Alabama for the National Championship, I’d rather the SEC be completely swept out of the playoff/bowl season and Michigan beat that Fickle (pun intended) team Cincinnati.
Obviously, I only TRULY care that Michigan wins. Go Blue!
December 28th, 2021 at 11:14 AM ^
Certainly a make-it-or-break-it day for my bowl pool of 200 entries. Lose 3 or more games (ATS) and you’ve dug yourself a big hole.
December 28th, 2021 at 11:18 AM ^
CJK5H!...*Allegedly

Ugh, the dreaded double post. I blame CJ.
December 28th, 2021 at 11:22 AM ^
Olu Oluwatimi just officially signed on. Already excited for next year.
December 28th, 2021 at 11:27 AM ^
This kind of made my day actually, thanks for posting crg. I'm actually stuck in a house where everyone is sick - not c-19, thank god- but it still stinks. But this is something nice to look forward to. Plus there are some premier league games on today as well.
December 28th, 2021 at 11:35 AM ^
Man Utd "are a bunch a whinebags" lol
December 28th, 2021 at 11:56 AM ^
Howay the Lads!
December 28th, 2021 at 12:53 PM ^
I’m officially old because these games all suck and I’d rather clean up all the mess from Christmas than watch.
December 28th, 2021 at 2:20 PM ^
The "lesser" bowl games are often the most entertaining.
December 28th, 2021 at 12:54 PM ^
LONG drive by Auburn, with some strong Tank runs, ends with…. nothing!
7-0 Houston in the 2nd quarter.
(Definitely not a catch)
December 28th, 2021 at 12:57 PM ^
Houston blew a huge play, but follows with a 11 yard gain regardless. Houston offense is plowing through Auburn.
December 28th, 2021 at 1:04 PM ^
Targeting is obvious to me. Defenseless player was an easy target for a wrap up tackle which would be equally explosive without risking the health of the offensive player. Yet, SEC gets an incidental contact…WTF
December 28th, 2021 at 1:48 PM ^
10-3 Houston at the Half.
Interview from Stetson during the Halftime show, addressing the haters:
"It doesn't bother me. It's frustrating sometimes."
The obvious question would be, 'which one is it (lmao)?'. Ultimately, it's his demeanor that I recognized moreso than anything. Whatever is happening behind the scenes at Georgia...it's definitely a different look and approach from what our coaches and players are taking. He looked tight in that segment (though, it may be due to knowing something that he can't share with the media). When Michigan wins, it'll be interesting to hear what was going on in the background at Georgia post-Alabama.
December 28th, 2021 at 2:10 PM ^
Both Canada and USA play in Edmonton today. Not against each other. I'll be watching Michigan hockey instead.
December 28th, 2021 at 2:35 PM ^
So, Auburn's Monday got away with Targeting (reversed) in the first, but call stands on the 2nd Targeting call. Commentators are against the call, but Monday is clearly trying to hurt someone IMO. Damn, I hope this costs Auburn. I hate bushleague play.
December 28th, 2021 at 3:33 PM ^
Yeah, they seemed like a dirty team. Glad to see them go down. Enjoy the losing season.
December 28th, 2021 at 3:20 PM ^
UH is going to beat Auburn--sweet!
The Other Coogs 17 - Plainsmen 13
December 28th, 2021 at 3:26 PM ^
Down goes another SEC team!
December 28th, 2021 at 3:33 PM ^
S-E-C...equals Oh-and-3. Biggest takeaway, officials are not just a B1G problem. Questionable things affected both teams all game.
December 28th, 2021 at 3:51 PM ^
There are about 13 people at this Louisville Air Force game
December 28th, 2021 at 4:29 PM ^
All 13 people were treated to a helluva TD by Lewis though (multiple cuts)! 21-7 Air Force :)
December 28th, 2021 at 5:57 PM ^
Let's go, Air Force!!!
December 28th, 2021 at 6:19 PM ^
Username checks out (all I could hear was, "Let's Go Red Wings!").
Also, I love me some football drama. Another game to the wire. Now... Let's Go Air Force...clap, clap,...Clap Clap Clap!
December 28th, 2021 at 6:35 PM ^
2-0 in today's desired results, now go Red Raiders!!!
December 28th, 2021 at 7:18 PM ^
10-0 TTU, Go Red Raiders!
(or more aptly, Fuck the SEC)
December 28th, 2021 at 9:35 PM ^
Texas Tech is taking it to Mississippi State. 27-7 at the end of the third.
SEC is on its way to 0-4.
My good buddy is an LSU fan and does not get the SEC intaconference fanjobing. He is loving this as much as I am.
December 28th, 2021 at 10:25 PM ^
That's a bad loss, too. State was the seventh biggest favorite of the bowl season. FEI had it that way too. SP+ and Massey only had them by 5-6 but still...
December 28th, 2021 at 10:30 PM ^
Just need Minnesota to finish a perfect night. Everything I asked for has happened tonight :)
