Holiday Bowl Thread

I didn't see one, ergo...

Is anyone else watching this?  Wiscy just had three straight sacks.  Putting up a great fight against Fight On.

They've been arguing that the P12 is the best conference in football. B10 with wins over Stanford, Oregon, UCLA, and now USC! 4-1 so far with only the rose left against a team we already beat once this year!

So, the badgers started 4 RS Freshmen this game, and they've only started 2 total games (including this one). And before Clement gets hurt, they're housing the USC defensive line on the ground, while keeping Stave upright. 

4 RS Freshmen on the O-line. Starting for the second time. In a bowl game. Against Southern Cal....<sigh>

Before Clement gets injured, Wisconsin was having their way with them. Afterwards, it got shut down because the backup was is a freshman converted DB who doesn't know how to be a RB. And that's not even accoutning for McEvoy getting fucked on that long TD run that got called out of bounds.

To see SoCal lose. Do you folks remember that their preseason press guide actually advised members of the press to avoid referring to the school as Southen Cal? Loved reading all of the earlier posts. Go Blue!

I will admit that on paper I had this one going to the Trojans - grudgingly - but as others have said, it is nice to see USC fall, particularly in bowl games. Wisconsin wasn't getting a lot of traction on the ground (3.84 yards per carry), but it was enough and indeed Corey Clement got in the end zone once, and Joel Stave put up some decent numbers too. That's another one for the Big Ten, eh?

(couldn't sleep - watched most of this game - don't tell my wife, who thinks I was sleeping)

Who in the flying frig schedules a bowl game for 1030 pm EST on a Wednesday night? Oh, ESPN. No way would I have stayed up past 2 am to watch this. Even if you live in Wisconsin, you're still having to stay up well past 1 on a work night. Ridiculous.

You sir are absolutiely right.  This was way too good of a game to be played this late. imo.  Thank you for being a voice of reason.  They used to play  this game 2 or 2.5 hours earlier but ESPN wanted to have 4 games televised that day with "ample" commercial breaks.  The fans in attendance got to watch this late game in 40 degree temperatures instead of 50 and 60 degree temperatures, but as we know, TV runs college football to a large degree now.
