**The 2008-09 College Football Bowl Games Thread**

Posted on 12/18/2008 11:47:31 PM PST by GOP_Raider

The regular season in college football has come to an end, wild and woolly as it was. Some would like to use it as a legitimate excuse for a playoff system, some modification for the BCS system, or just something to discuss on 3rd dates. Other people, like Norm Chow, have said (and I paraphrase) "I'm against a playoff system. I wouldn't have wanted to see our '84 (byU national championship) team have to prove it on the field."

(In case you were wondering, yes, I have waited almost two weeks to post that). :)

(One more parenthetical note: the BCS Championship Game thread will be performed on a separate thread, since I'm pretty sure somebody is going to post that thread before I get the chance to do so.)

Anyway, as many of you know the bowl games thread works a little different than the regular season threads. Each day I'll ping the list to that particular day's slate of bowl games and you can say something like "wow, West Tennessee A&M Tech is playing in the Dyer's Hamburger Grease Bowl, I think I'll watch". Or maybe you won't, I don't know. But let's start off with...

Pretty exciting for you guys. You had a great year, and should be proud of your team. Please don't get too giddy, remember Hawaii played in the BCS last year.

If it's still close at the end of the third quarter, I'll be giddy with you.

16 teams is too many, it doesn’t reward the better teams for a good regular season. I will be willing to go to 10 and that’s all.

My opinion? I'm sad but Old Miss dominated us - congrats to their fans.

I still love my Raiders.

LOL, true enough. Although four years ago the Utes did get to a BCS Game (Fiesta against Pitt). No offense intended to Pitt, but Bama isn't exactly Pitt.

Just before kickoff - put me down for a blowout in favor of Alabama.

The Texas Tech fans didn’t look happy this evening after playing against an SEC team.

Boy that didn’t look too good for you TT fans. That kind of got ugly towards the end of the game as frustration set in.

Still, a great season and Mike Leach is a keeper for sure.

Let’s settle in and see if we end the season with an undefeated team!!!

Consider yourself put down.

(That sounded rather cruel, didn’t it? I apologize in advance.)

I’ll go for a non-blowout since my own team is involved here. :)

Great defensive stand!!

How about catching that break there? That could have been disasterous!!!

Here we go, UTES on offense!!!

For a while our Offense wasn’t clicking during about the middle of the year. In back to back games (New Mexico and TCU) the O scored two TDs combined and still won.

This could be fun. 7-0.
