2011 College Football Part II: Bowls, The Rematch, and Recruiting >Tebow

Re: 2011 College Football Part II: Bowls, The Rematch, and Recruiting >Tebow

Well. THAT was an interesting turn of events.
 
Re: 2011 College Football Part II: Bowls, The Rematch, and Recruiting >Tebow

Thanks


Quite the odd end to the half, eh? Strangest fake kick.
 
Re: 2011 College Football Part II: Bowls, The Rematch, and Recruiting >Tebow

Complete with an uncalled false start.
 
Re: 2011 College Football Part II: Bowls, The Rematch, and Recruiting >Tebow

If we manage to win this game, all I can say is luck.

Incredible.

I'm glad, for sure. But UM doesn't look that good.
 
Re: 2011 College Football Part II: Bowls, The Rematch, and Recruiting >Tebow

Only 64 500 at the Superdome tonight. Good thing they kept out those schools with lackluster fan bases.
 
Re: 2011 College Football Part II: Bowls, The Rematch, and Recruiting >Tebow

VaTech has looked like the better team, but man are they world class at finding ways to lose (see the end of the first half)*.

Momentum is with the turkeys, but can they handle prosperity?


*And there it is. One of the worst fake punts ever?

Wow Beamer, what an idiot.

Also, I heard Nessler say he's friends with Ric Flair, but did he also just say West Virginia is in the state of Virginia?

I don't think that's fair. The Sugar Bowl almost always has an SEC representative. Which two teams would have drawn more fans?

That's probably true, a bit too much snark from me there.

At the same time, if you make a choice for your bowl based on attendance reasons, shouldn't you be able to sell the place out?

That depends on what the alternative matchup would have been. It's quite possible this was the best one they could come up with for attendance purposes.

Receiver landed out of bounds.
 
Re: 2011 College Football Part II: Bowls, The Rematch, and Recruiting >Tebow

Wow. I thought the only thing to look at on that play was in or out of bounds. Possession never even seemed like an issue.
 
Re: 2011 College Football Part II: Bowls, The Rematch, and Recruiting >Tebow

With Pac-12 officials I'm mildly surprised we didn't get free throws.
 
Re: 2011 College Football Part II: Bowls, The Rematch, and Recruiting >Tebow

Also, I heard Nessler say he's friends with Ric Flair,

Minnesota is a very small state.

As far as the catch/non-catch, I think he initially got the elbow down in bounds, but then bobbled the ball slightly after that and was out of bounds by the time he controlled it, which is where possession came into play.
 
Re: 2011 College Football Part II: Bowls, The Rematch, and Recruiting >Tebow

I think he is referring to the fact that Ric Flair worked here for some time, and Brad Nessler is from here. Small world sort of thing.

I figured it was something like that. I just didn't pick up on what he was getting at. I assumed he didn't mean geographically "small". :D

Out of the other possible matchups I think it was the best for attendance. To be honest, that low figure surprises me a little. I didn't think they'd have any trouble selling those two teams out for a BCS Bowl.
 
Re: 2011 College Football Part II: Bowls, The Rematch, and Recruiting >Tebow

I dunno. It's not as if VaTech made a late run to secure a Sugar berth and "save" their season. They were planning Orange all the way (as they do every year, since Miami and FSU disappeared), right up to the point where the cHokies (couldn't resist) fell on their head in the conference championship.

Given how badly they lost that game, I'm surprised they did as well as they did tonight. Of course, that might also be that Michigan has some flaws, too.

I'll balance that out with a compliment. Is that Logan Thomas kid a freshman? He could be a good one...

Thomas is a redshirt sophomore this season. The RB, Wilson is a junior this season. Sounds like if either come back VT will have a decent returning offense.
