January 1st Gameday--Bowl Day

[POJO_Risin]

Well...I can't say I'm thrilled about the games today...but there is one good one left to be played...and a few good ones today...well...one...

I'll get into that one in a second...

What do you all think about New Year's Day bowl games these days? Do you still revere it like you did a few years ago when they ALL were played? Or...isn't it the same now that the national title game is 4 days later...

I love New Year's Day...but it just isn't the same...

[POJO_Risin]

The LSU game was outstanding...just fucking outstanding...back and forth all day...

LSU scoring with 30 seconds left...then...somehow...Iowa completing a 56 yarder (non-hail mary by the way) as time expired...

very confusing ending...but a great one...

and Saban goes out a loser...

doesn't bode well for Miami now does it...

You're right bro, it is Go Blue today. :D

It is nowhere near what it used to be, and I'm not even sure why.

Used to be all fired up for Bowl games all day ... watched some of each and not all of any.

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...before any of the games were on cable...it was insane...

my Dad and I would watch the rose ball parade...

in other words...I'd learn how to play blackjack or poker while the gay ass parade was on...

mom would cook up the pork and sauerkraut...

and we'd bring in 2 black and whites so we could have a main tv...and the other two stations on as well for the others...and off we'd go...

I'd watch all of all...but more like some of many...and the color ruled...lmfao...

Once they moved the national title game away...and left the New Years fanfare with a bunch of I don't matter games...

well...

fuck if the day didn't change...

perhaps we could also add it to growing up...some of the magic disappears when you get older...

[POJO_Risin]

Hard to believe that Michigan has NEVER played Texas...that's fucking insanity...

actually looking forward to this game...

I dislike both...but both are good...

[POJO_Risin]

and Texas' first Rose...which is understandable...because of the traditional rivalries...

but still boggles the mind...

[POJO_Risin]

Texas' key to win...50% completion percentage...and establish the run game...it's not Benson...but the QB that will win or lose the game...if he finds a way to loosen up the 8 in the box (even 9)...then the Wolverines are in trouble...

if Michigan stops the run...and contains the QB...the game will be close...

Michigan...freshman back and qb...damn...they are going to be good for awhile...

now if OSU can avoid probation...the next 3 years should be interesting in the Big 10 with Iowa, Wisconsin, OSU and Michigan...all young and hungry...

[POJO_Risin]

Did you see Royal and Schembechler?

Schembechler...talking about getting coach of the year because of his heart attack...while Royal had the national title...

Schembechler was laughing his ass off...

Royal wasn't...lmfao...

I had a family member go to UM so he has got me in to UM sports.

[POJO_Risin]

Well Christ...it's a Mack Brown team...it's only a matter of time until they fold...anyone any good that loses to a Mack Brown coached team should be dropped to division I-AA...

[POJO_Risin]

Young Interception...

question...you have a running game that's effective against Michigan today...so...

WTF would you have the guy throwing into a nickel zone?

I do agree with that!!!!:D

[POJO_Risin]

Trust me...the guy IS JOHN COOPER...

Lloyd Carr was probably smiling all week...

He knew he won a month ago...

[Island Boy]

31-21

watch him run!!!

[POJO_Risin]

Texas moving the ball...down inside the 10 yardline...1st and goal...

[POJO_Risin]

Defensive Athletes have grown to big and fast for the option...especially with 8 in the box...

3rd and goal from the 10...

[Island Boy]

WOW what a freak Young is...........31-28 Mich

[POJO_Risin]

Wow...what a fucking run by Young...jesus christ...how is he not a running back...

He may be better than Benson...

31-28...

Michigan needs to score here...a td...put it away...

[Island Boy]

Michigan is rollin now!!!

[Island Boy]

34-28 by a Mich FG


And BTW I dont think Pitt has a chance tonight.

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...but the Queens only rolled to a field goal...

6 point lead...

hmmm...

how much are TD's worth again?

3 is better than zero though...........but Texas is at the 23:(

[POJO_Risin]

Boy...that Michigan D is looking tired...

[POJO_Risin]

Holy fuck...

TD Texas...damn...that wasn't even effort...

[Island Boy]

Unreal...................FN unreal

[POJO_Risin]

35-34...

look man...I know this game isn't over...but a bit of a story break...

One of my vivid rose bowl memories...

I was 13, the 1984 or 85 Rose Bowl...

USC vs. the Buckeyes led by Tomczak, Byars and Spielman...a great team...Byars was hurt though...I believe...

and lost to USC...

I remember being psyched the whole day...

and I bleed Buckeye football...and fucking wept like a bitch when that game was over...

[POJO_Risin]

The new Rose Bowl trophy looks Gay...

[POJO_Risin]

Jesus Christ...in fucking Texas teritory...

see what I mean about Mack Brown?

You have to fucking have your special teams ready after a drive like that...

Texas' D is fucking dragging...and inside the 35...1st down...

damn...

[Island Boy]

Either Breaston is a beast or Texas kickoff coverage is horrid!!!!

[Island Boy]

FG is good Maize and Blue in the lead!!!!!!!!

[Island Boy]

Last post its gettin to intense!!!!!

[POJO_Risin]

It's not looking good...

2 seconds left...it's not a gimme...winning the Rose Bowl is a big deal...

[POJO_Risin]

These are the kicks that not only make or break a career...but christ...

a life...

you miss this...and you're that old fucker from Texas that dropped that pass in 1940...who's still weaping over it...

here we go...

[POJO_Risin]

Here we go...

it's up...AND GOOD!!!!!

Sorry bro...

(I'm not really that sorry...lmfao...but...I know this is going to ruin your fucking week...)

So I'll throw the sentiment your way...

[POJO_Risin]

Great fucking game...

Thanks bro.

All it did was turn into a 2 day beer binge now.

Not been my year other than the Pistons. Now they bite too.

:D

[POJO_Risin]

LMFAO...gotta fix the bowl problems...

CARR better watch himself...because if you aren't beating OSU...and you aren't winning Bowl Games...then you aren't doing your job at Michigan...

if I were Carr...I'd fix that next year...

[ALinChainz]

Couldn't stop the dude.

Blitz and we got burnt.

Lay back, and we got burnt.

He may need to be moving on, but he doesn't sound like he's going anywhere. And don't hear anything from the school.

Lions will probably lose tomorrow, I think the Pistons play Boston, we could lose that.

The only team that isn't disappointing is the Wings.

[rustoffa]

LMFAO....
Mussberger just referred to something as a "donneybrook".

Way to rip off Gordon Solie dipshit.

[POJO_Risin]

It's going bad...when you're ripping of the Late Gordon Solie...

What's the score of the game...not watching it...

[POJO_Risin]

Who knows though bro...who knows...

I know what happened to Cooper...and Bruce before him...

and Carr seems to be the first Michigan coach in awhile to not have success against OSU...

perhaps it's because maybe Tressell is the first OSU coach since Bruce's early years that understands what OSU is all about....

National Championships, Michigan and Bowl wins...

35-7 Utes

A veritable donneybrook.

[POJO_Risin]

Fucking Pitt had no fucking business being in that game...

What a fucking joke the Big East is...

You'd think that Mack Brown could find 11 guys in the state of Texas who could cover a kickoff. Great game though. Props to Michigan. Young is a stud. No Vick but still a stud.

Why didn't he call a timout or 2 before they kicked the field goal, like a minute or so before? It would have given them at least a couple of plays after Magnum's kick. I mean I'm glad he didn't but still. :confused:

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...I was wondering about that myself...when it was happening...it was good to use them all to "ice" him...lmfao...

[redblkwht]

Im just glad to see ''M'' lose 2 in row..lmao.
and the HS kids keep coming to OSU..love it ;)

[POJO_Risin]

The recruiting class is good this year...but it could have been better...

overall...a couple of good...no...great games yesterday...Iowa/LSU and Michigan/Texas...

but the rest blew ass...
