    Rose, Orange, Fiesta, Sugar, and of course the BCS Champioship.


  • Although I have always felt that the Cotton bowl should be part of the BCS since it was part of the original line of bowls games.


  • Okay no Cotton, add in Fiesta. I wasn’t sure about that. I am not a big college football fan for 2 reasons. They are not as talented as the pros and the play-off system sucks.

    It is still good competition though.


  • I would say out of all colllegiate sports that transition to pro, the NFL has the biggest talent gap and transition from college to pro.  It amazes me how some of the most talented athletes in college never develop or become good enough to make it in the NFL.  NBA, NHL, and MLB have kids playing at age 18-20! Alot of that is based on NCAA sanctions that won’t allow football players enter till after their sophomore season, but I find it hard to believe that there is any kid 18-20 that can really step onto an NFL field and be successful without a proper college career.  I agree with you Brain, the NFL takes a special individual and the compititon is noticeably higher then in college.


  • Okay so out of the 34 bowl games, only 5 are worth watching, unless your particular team is playing in one of the other ones.


  • My personal viewpoint is not the benchmark on determining whether a bowl game is meaningless or not, that my friend is up to you.  I personally only watch the bowls that have BigTen teams in the mix and the BCS, just my own personal areas of interests.  Whether you find all the bowl games interesting or just a select few is up to you, the world is your oyster  :-D.


  • On another football topic: isn’t this been an awesome NFL season. My Cowboys are playing good football, i hope they destroy the Eagles. I will say this, the Eagles are one dangerous team.

    I’m pretty much with you on that. My girlfriend has been having a few “Isn’t college football supposed to be over?” moments lately. I’m hoping I’m going to be able to catch some of the Orange Bowl (GO HAWKS!) and the NCG. Might have to DVR them.

    Congrats to my favorite Buckeyes on their Rose Bowl victory. Loved at the end during the trophy ceremony when somebody asked Coach Tressel about the ‘uptempo Oregon offense’ and he answered, “Well we have an uptempo defense.”

    Oregon’s ‘uptempo offense’ that I heard about ad nausem up to gameday and then all thru game day. Oregon only managed a little over 18 minutes in time of possession.

    Who does everyone like on Thursday? I gotta go with The Tide as much as it pains me to do so. Just don’t see Texas being able to hold up against their D.

    Big10 getting some redemption this year.

    That is a great quote.  I like how Tressel has a trademark - the sweatervest.
    Congratulations to the OSU Buckeyes on a big win.  2003 was a long time ago…

    I think Boise makes a game of it but the Frogs play good enough D that they should come out ahead.


  • Iowa wins the Orange Bowl!!!


  • What domination in the first half, especially.

    Hawks Rock!

    I officially don’t like Idaho…

    GG


  • GG - if you’re referring to the Boise State/TCU game

    Did you notice all the TV shots of the cheerleaders on both sides?
    Haha - I don’t think Boise State turns anyone down.  Wow, they had a lot of 2-ton Tillies.
    But the TCU cheerleaders on the other hand - WOW! 
    WOW, WOW, WOW!!!  I wish they would have just trained the cameras on them the whole game, and not the football game so much  :lol:

    Nice job Hawks! Sending the Big Ten out of Bowl season with a winning record and 2-0 in BCS games after the Buckeyes’ Rose Bowl victory.

    Dude, I thought I was the only person that noticed that. Being the Texan I am, I’m proud to say there are no shortage of good looking women in this state.

    I partied way too hard after that victory, GO HAWKS!

    Hehe, I guess there were two of us.  I was using the rewind button as much as the fast forward button  :lol:

    One problem with Iowa is that our babes are all covered up for a third of the year.  Not good.
