I hope so...
11 is pretty early to get up after New Year's :)
...LOL....well just think on the west coast the first game for me is at 8 am.......*yikes*.........
For fun and laughs today, check out the MPC Computers Bowl that's going on here in Boise between Nevada and Miami. Say what you will about Miami--and I have--this has to be a great form of punishment for them. "You keep this piss poor play up and you'll be in Boise on New Year's Eve!" *Gasp!!!* You thought Georgia Tech mailed it in last year in the Emerald Bowl, this could get about that bad, I reckon.
Anyway, the WAC and Mountain West have lost but one bowl game so far this year (which would have happened anyway since UNM and San Jose St. played each other). And remember: if you can have a bowl game in Shreveport, you can have a bowl game anywhere.
good point...
LOL
Oh I don't know...
Miami might come out firing tonight because their new HC is already on the staff as the Defensive Coordinator.
A lot of the underclassmen are going to be playing to impress the new coach.
....I think Nevada is gonna kick their butt.....they have a damned good offense....well, at home anyway and have alot to prove being a smaller school.....
Sorry for the late ping...
The MPC Computers "Freeze your butt off in Boise, ID on New Year's EVE" Bowl is on ESPN right now...
HDTV makes the smurf turf even worse! Go Nevada!
No kidding...the blue field looks really hideous in HD....horrible. 7-2, UM
,,,haha......I was back in Montana for Thanksgiving where my fiancee' is.....damn...it was minus 10 the day I left. This is a mid summer day in Boise today......Go Wolfpack.l
Wow, Mark May just ripped Minnesota for firing Mason. Hes right for a change.
LOL
I'm proud to say that I didn't watch one second of the first half :)
...and Lou Holtz ripped the Navy Coach for calling an option pitch yesterday with less then 2 minutes left.... mark this weekend......Lou and Mark were right within one day of each other.....who would have thunk it.....
.....haha....it is actually a pretty good game...better then some of the other blow out bowls.....
ok Mike, we're in the stretch run, and I just want to confirm something.
as I understand the rules, who ever has the most incorrect picks, wins, right?
I mean, that's the way I understood the rules two weeks ago. And with that in mind then.... what are my options to protest?
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
LOL
I've stopped even tracking that...
I'll need to find a way to create a group for everyone next year....
ok now I'm watching it....
Just to show you how much ESPN HATES Ohio State, and they really do, IMO, now they are bringing up the 2002 Fiesta Bowl and crying about it in their beers for Larry Coker.
Sorry Boys, scoreboard.
Frikin ESPN sucks.
OH, they do.
Remember watching gameday, when we played UM, and Corso made his prediction by hold up a Wolverine helmet and saying, "THIS ONE'S FOR YOU, BO!"
I hated that the man passed, but thought it totally inappropriate of him to do that.
Why do they hate us so? I think it's because we're a midwest team who plays by the rules, and has a coach with integrity. I stand by my previous statement that had Mo Clarrett played for virtually and other school, they would have looked the other way at his antics.
I know Corso doesn't hate Ohio State like the rest of them. He does that entire pick schtick for show.
I don't know if they would've looked the other way on Clarett. He brought quite a bit of it on himself by TALKING to the press.
I think the thing is that ESPN doesn't like that Tressel won't give them big quotes like Spurrier or Bowden or even guys like Glen Mason or John L Smith would.
That's also why ESPN hates teams like Texas and Oklahoma and Georgia, schools with coaches who don't talk smack to the other teams.
I'm personally glad ABC lost out on the BCS games minus the Rose Bowl. They had too much power on the process when they held the TV contract for all 4 of the games.
Strange as it seems to the rest of us, I know people here who have been going to Boise State games their entire lives and green turf, in their words "doesn't look right to them".
I thought it made Boise St. seem "Kerry League".
