Fiesta Bowl Open Thread
I am just going to go ahead and throw this one up here now since it is now 37-35 Wisky in the Rose Bowl and nobody in that game is playing all that hard on defense. I have the audio at least, so I can hear everything that is going on.
We've got Stanford (11-1) versus Oklahome State (11-1). If there was a game that almost should be the MNC but isn't, this one is probably the one if only because it is NOT a rematch. That would probably be the only reason though.
In all honesty, I do think Oklahoma State was hosed during bowl selections, but there's nothing to be done about it now - I went OSU (NTOSU) in this one. I like Luck, I think his draft stock is pretty high, but Gundy has a point to prove, and he is over 40 and a man, damnit.

will be sleeping with the fishes tonight. Along with Mr. Walsh of Georgia.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:16 AM ^
Wow, the derp levels on today's decisions...
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:16 AM ^
I don't understand why they didn't go for a touchdown. They had time outs and 20 seconds. Conservative ball often bites teams in the butt.

and feel like crap at work tomorrow or go to bed now?
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:18 AM ^
Gotta stay up
The biggest advantage of being on the west coast, is that games are never late here.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:23 AM ^
Glad I did.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:16 AM ^
Great shot of Luck saying "Fuck .... he missed it"
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:17 AM ^
One thing I have learned during this bowl season is that FG kickers cannot be trusted.
<br>
<br>Sincerely,
<br>
<br>UGA & Stanford FG kickers screwing up my bowl pick 'em league.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:18 AM ^
They had all that time near the 20. Should have went for the killshot with Luck throwing a TD.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:17 AM ^
OT. Time for a beer.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:19 AM ^
Can anyone tell me why my post doubled?
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:23 AM ^
Because you touch yourself at night.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:19 AM ^
Need to realise that college football is not the NFL. Try to score touchdown damn it.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:20 AM ^
Throw. Sometime throw.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:21 AM ^
The very least. Neither team knows how to play D.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:23 AM ^
Back...
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:21 AM ^
Terrible play calling
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:22 AM ^
Laces out!
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:22 AM ^
Marino!
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:22 AM ^
Overtime benefits Stanford more than OSU in its format. OSU feeds on rythym.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:24 AM ^
*rhythm
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:23 AM ^
Got the hold down but didn't get the laces turned.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:23 AM ^
Ok State Wins!
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:24 AM ^
Looks like he was short
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:26 AM ^
Short for sure.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:27 AM ^
Can't see the goal line, unfortunately.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:23 AM ^
Gotta feel for the kicker, though.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:26 AM ^
Go for a TD. Field goals suck.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:27 AM ^
Alright. He's gonna miss this FG.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:27 AM ^
Michigan, play stout defense later tonight. No on had played any this bowl season. Stanford's D is atrocious.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:31 AM ^
Defense has been non-existant this bowl season.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:27 AM ^
...a fumble on a sneak, or a missed extra point?
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:27 AM ^
a dive.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:40 AM ^
but OSU's short-yardage game hasn't been good tonight and this is an all-American kicker kicking a glorified extra point.
Completely different situation from Richt, who was putting a mediocre kicker at the edge of his range.
Stanford's decision was in between. The guy hadn't missed a kick of that distance all year until the last game of the season; now he's missed three in a row.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:27 AM ^
Once again...
THIS ONE'S FOR ALL THE DERPTITOS.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:28 AM ^
Wow, how do the refs miss that on the LG?
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:30 AM ^
It was absolutely flagrant. Completely turned the game.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:28 AM ^
He goin to nail it.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:30 AM ^
Split national title? Uh, no
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:31 AM ^
He should answer all interview questions by first reminding them that "I'm still a man, I'm 40!"
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:36 AM ^
Those championship hats and shirts are awful. 'Nacho Victory' Really?
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:43 AM ^
What the hell does that mean? Nacho victory?
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:47 AM ^
Too bad they didn't win in regulation - they could have had a Spicy Nacho Victory.
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:50 AM ^
what Allstate's got planned for tomorrow night.
Mayhem.
January 3rd, 2012 at 1:01 AM ^
Probably something about a Sweet Victory
January 3rd, 2012 at 12:36 AM ^
Glad they took tine at the end to once again remind us that Luck should have won the Heisman
