Here is the day we have all been waiting for. The "New Year's Day" bowl games are on the day after, but there are some great matchups today.
Look at at least 2 upsets....
it wasn't a spear, it was a helmet to helmet contact penalty that didn't happen....
but still Iowa let them score. That call didn't give Florida the TD, a blown coverage did.
I know everyone makes mistakes, but it's bad when they all go against one team or the other. I agree with Spielman - if the offsides call is even CLOSE - don't throw the flag. It's called letting the players play.
Happens in basketball the last 2 min of the game all the time. C-USA officials need to get a clue...there should be a Larry Coker-style purge after this game
He should have. That's probably one of the worst calls I've seen all year long. Not to say Iowa would have tied it or anything, but they sure earned a chance to try, and then had it taken away by the zebras...
The Pats want to play the Jags this week, not Pittsburgh just yet. But Miami is coming along...they will be a real threat next year, they will challenge the Pats for the AFC East title.
I saw at least one other kick during this bowl season that hit the uprights and went in....this one was ugly but sure got the job done for Alabama.
yeah...
I think the Sun Belt needs some new officials as well....
yep. exactly.
Where is the Sugar Bowl being played, Baton Rouge?
Atlanta
SEC teams are winning, but with the exception of LSU they're getting pushed hard. The SEC superiority isn't nearly as obvious as SEC fans like to pretend it is.
I guess its time to start drinkin'
But, I'm much more articulate after.
Its only 1:17 on the west coast, I usually don't start till after 4.....should I make an exception?
Not if you have a video feed... I'm in LA, little rain and I'm down..lived in Novato, know what your going thru.
Get sandbagging, I did it at Mare Island years ago. I hope you are on the high side of the street.
Just got back from a party. Iowa got really shafted. Nice way for Wisconsin to say goodbye to the old coach.
I'm fine..I'm lucky. The water came down the hill and if it went straight, I would be under water. Luckily it flowed down the street and went down the hill.
I have never seen anything like it.
Good for you, had six secs of sun and still now cable, I live for this time of year..... tring to download espn live.
