Motor City/Little Caesars/PizzaPizza Bowl Open Thread
December 26th, 2012 at 7:10 PM ^
I have a strong feeling they will run all over CMU.
December 26th, 2012 at 8:26 PM ^
I've been wrong thus far. CMU is looking pretty good right now.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:12 PM ^
Would rather be at the game! Was thinking about heading down there but the weather made me think twice about that.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:15 PM ^
Just see some other teams play. Sheridan would have been a good excuse to go to this one. But the weather blows. I know Kentucky isn't tropical either, but man bad enough these teams have to go to Detroit for a bowl game. Now they're going to get snowed in.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:24 PM ^
a LOT of empty seats.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:26 PM ^
GO WKU!
Doing a little early scoutin' for the 2013 opener.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:27 PM ^
I predict pizza pizza
December 26th, 2012 at 7:28 PM ^
Fire Up
December 26th, 2012 at 7:29 PM ^
Should pay attention to Eric Fisher, LT from CMU. He may get drafted in 1st round.
Also, keep an eye out for Andrew Jackson. He's short and well built ILB who can stuff the running game.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:31 PM ^
get the good bowls going soon. I'm sick of these shit games.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:33 PM ^
Better enjoy college football while it lasts. It's a long offseason. I'm taking in every game I can.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:34 PM ^
I dunno, I really enjoy them. They may not be the best display of good football, but they're often still entertaining and I get to see teams I would not otherwise watch.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:43 PM ^
You could be out seeing Les Mis.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:45 PM ^
Damnit. M-Wolv beat me to it
December 26th, 2012 at 7:31 PM ^
Someone needs to tell WKU's interim coach to lay off the caffeine.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:32 PM ^
Oh yay. Jemele Hill is here.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:33 PM ^
Not Jemele.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:35 PM ^
It's still the motor city bowl to me dammit!
December 26th, 2012 at 8:22 PM ^
Still Tiger Stadium to me. Drives my 12 year old nuts.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:35 PM ^
They said on the radio today that tickets on StubHub were going for $90+. Too late to verify, but wow.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:37 PM ^
90 cents would be more believable. The crowd looks sparse. Didn't they give away tickets to the MACtion Championship? I'd guess that this would be similar...
December 26th, 2012 at 7:39 PM ^
The whole Cass Tech team went to the MAC title game. Mike Weber (2015 RB) tweeted there were more people at their State Championship game then at the MAC game.
December 26th, 2012 at 8:07 PM ^
It's a little closer for Cass Tech than NIU or Kent St. The MAC championships always struggle for filling the stadium. I've gone to the last three for NIU
December 26th, 2012 at 7:36 PM ^
#GoACC refs.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:48 PM ^
Noticed the Chrysler, Buick, Ford & UAW logos on the 25yd lines. Pizza Bowl showing it's roots to it's past as the Motor City Bowl.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:42 PM ^
Lol WTF was that safety doing? He ran right passed the WR, after he caught it! Possibly the worst angle I've ever seen taken.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:42 PM ^
Yeesh that was some awful defense. 7-0 chips
December 26th, 2012 at 7:43 PM ^
I believe this is what the kids call MACtion.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:50 PM ^
Mighty creative play call right there Sheridan
December 26th, 2012 at 7:50 PM ^
All Sheridan
December 26th, 2012 at 7:51 PM ^
7-7. 70 yard double pass sets it up.
Pizza Pizza.
December 26th, 2012 at 7:55 PM ^
Sheridan mentioned.
Yes.
December 26th, 2012 at 8:01 PM ^
But biffs tackles badly and commits penalties. Frustrating.
December 26th, 2012 at 8:01 PM ^
Shootout time. 14-7 CMU.
December 26th, 2012 at 8:06 PM ^
Go Chips! Looking for the MAC to get a win this bowl season
December 26th, 2012 at 8:12 PM ^
probably the play of the game, should probably go back to my novel.
December 26th, 2012 at 8:14 PM ^
I like CMU's RB Zurlon Tipton. He's a kid who wanted to come to UM, and I was hoping we'd give him an offer but we never did. He's turning in to a really good MAC tailback.
December 26th, 2012 at 8:29 PM ^
Yeah, he's pretty good at fighting for that extra couple yards.
December 26th, 2012 at 8:31 PM ^
But as cold predictions (which is not what they do) the lines have been awful this bowl season. Arizona near double digit fav in a game they probably should have lost. Utah St should have been an even bigger favorite. BYU wasn't even a FG fav. Ball St lost by a lot more. Fresno was an 11 point fav and lost by 30. And W. Kentucky isn't looking like a 5+ point favorite.
December 26th, 2012 at 8:38 PM ^
HOLY ONE HANDED GRAB
December 26th, 2012 at 8:38 PM ^
Nice snag for a te
December 26th, 2012 at 8:38 PM ^
What a catch! TD WKU!
17-14 CMU
December 26th, 2012 at 8:41 PM ^
Again, all Sheridan
December 26th, 2012 at 8:41 PM ^
CMU's jerseys are a beaut... /s
At least our shoulders don't look like that
December 26th, 2012 at 8:48 PM ^
I'm not very familiar with CMU. Who are they losing on this team after the game?
December 26th, 2012 at 9:15 PM ^
Their qb, left tackle, strong safety, and wr. That's all I can remember off the top of my head at the game.
December 26th, 2012 at 9:16 PM ^
I will say that I did like how the footballwas batted away on the Hilltoppers' last drive, almost as if Andrews said, "RUN! RUN!" as he hit it.
Also, is it just me or is passing just not working for the most part in the past few minutes for either team? The sack of Jakes reminded me that being able to attack a defense through the air is sometimes taken for granted.
EDIT: The CMU offensive line needs to not make Ryan Radcliff block his own pass attempts. Sack, fumble, recover own fumble. Interesting play, but that's a lot to ask of your QB.
December 26th, 2012 at 9:40 PM ^
It seems like the Hilltoppers are outplaying them but keep stumbling over themselves.
December 26th, 2012 at 10:01 PM ^
Nick Sheridan is looking pretty good up in the booth.
