Alamo Bowl Open Thread

Or just post here. I just can't believe the original one is about to be page 3 on MGoBoard with all these posts on a non-game Saturday, with these weak games today. And there's still on hour till kickoff! Guess you can post things too early, but then we had bowl game threads, Rose Bowl threads, and Sugar Bowl threads yesterday, so, whatever.
Been a busy day for MGoBlog...

I think it's become less blatant anti-Leach. The beginning of the game was way slanted against him. I'm wondering if there wasn't some sort of talk during half time on toning it down.
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:26 PM ^
Michigan State is in town. Everybody in San Antonio needs police protection.
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:27 PM ^
my apologies... I could only give you +1
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:28 PM ^
next year
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:31 PM ^
Wife gets the TV. Gotta finish this one up on the DVR. Have fun guys.
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:34 PM ^
Sitting in a house full of Green and White.... Can we please make a bowl game next year! Either way, go big ten F%$@ You Ohio State

I don't root for criminals. I like freedom. I'm an American. I wear Wrangler.
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:38 PM ^
Patrick talks up Greg Jones when it was clearly the other guy that made the play.
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:39 PM ^
did they say flute player?
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:45 PM ^
Hope he doesn't get beat up for that
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:53 PM ^
You don't want to know what he used to do in band camp...
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:57 PM ^
"Cant just grab both balls" "he's got no sacks"...it all sounds wrong now.
But I'm sure his girlfriend is very impressed.

"You've got to love a quarterback who can put it where he wants it"
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:13 AM ^
next game, all the questionable quotes in one thread. who likes my idea?
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:31 AM ^
I'm there!!
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:50 PM ^
stephens is seeing double... send him to the electrical closet
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:55 PM ^
Could there have been a less meaningful play to look at during that timeout?
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:56 PM ^
"You know Mark Dantonio is going to have another good recruiting class."
Oh noes, the ESPN talking heads know that Dantonio has Michigan on lockdown too. Who told them?
January 2nd, 2010 at 11:59 PM ^
Are our safeties wintering in Lubbock?
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:00 AM ^
I'm getting tired of the endless penalties on TT. It's about time for a patented idiotic MSU personal foul.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:02 AM ^
penalties are often a result of soft coaching. don't think Tech will be accused of that anytime soon.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:00 AM ^
That flea flicker was not nearly as wide open as Patrick claimed it was.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:06 AM ^
Maybe you could say he was open for the over-the-shoulder throw where either Gantt catches it or it goes out of bounds, but really, State was lucky that it didn't get picked off given the extremely rushed pitch catch & throw.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:02 AM ^
Sigh, called that. Saw it all the way. They still couldn't cover it. Didn't call that TD pass play though.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:03 AM ^
Texas Tech has a very, very bad defense.
Or, alternatively, this is the future for Tech fans. In which case, I feel very, very bad for them.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:04 AM ^
This is typical Tech D. McNeil has actually helped make them better but this is pretty common.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:05 AM ^
#26 for TT is not going to want to watch that fake FG play during film session. He took himself out of the play in a way that would make Jonas Mouton blush.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:05 AM ^
They just called the Michigan State program under assault over the last 5 weeks. I think, if anything, they're the ones guilty of assaulting anyone.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:07 AM ^
Yeah ironic wording there. "The program is under assault for, um, assault."
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:05 AM ^
If he can be put in a position to throw a TD pass, why can't Denard?
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:09 AM ^
were going to throw passes to guys that while open, weren't crazy open (i.e., some decision-making was involved), I would have bet that one of them would have been picked off.
Lucky Dantonio.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:16 AM ^
And another lucky break - his guy just plain drops the ball and it doesn't get recovered in bounds (according to the refs, at least).
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:08 AM ^
That's a facemask AND a late hit.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:09 AM ^
The officiating on this game is getting out of hand - I guess they are more afraid of being assaulted than being locked in a closet.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:19 AM ^
I don't think these refs have been trying to screw Tech, but man, Tech sure seems to be on the bad side of a few missed calls. Greg Jones not getting called for a personal foul out of bounds is fairly ridiculous, but I guess the refs couldn't get their eyes off Bob Davie sucking him off.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:35 AM ^
What, did the check bounce?? Or do all the refs have evil goatee??
Or maybe we're just cursed...
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:11 AM ^
Let's see, we've got a blatant pass interference in the end zone that turned into a FG, a roughing the kicker on a play where the play was whistled dead due to false start leading to a missed field goal, and a late hit out of bounds mixed with a face mask that leads to...?
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:16 AM ^
If he doesn't try to throw it back in bounds, it'd be Texas Tech ball.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:17 AM ^
I think you're right. that made it look like he didnt have possession.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:18 AM ^
Is this what Michigan fans do when they have no one to cheer for? Classic!
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:21 AM ^
I believe we're cheering against a team that makes Universities in Michigan look like they care more about a football game than integrity. But hey, I'm sure all those suspended players were totally innocent and deserve to be on scholarship, right?
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:37 AM ^
...and you have nothing better to do than come to a Michigan site? Now THAT'S sad...
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:19 AM ^
"There's been a bunch of great receivers at Michigan State. (Someone) comes to mind... there's been a bunch."
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:20 AM ^
just said potts and concussion - uh oh
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:21 AM ^
quick! to the shed!
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:21 AM ^
Dantonio must have sold his soul to catch all these breaks tonight.
January 3rd, 2010 at 12:23 AM ^
is there a "trick" play they have not called? next down... Statue of Liberty.
