Random Bowl Chatter

  I didnt say they've won they just generally play well. That Auburn game a couple years back was fun and they just missed winning that one.

  GT just shanked a FG with no time left in the Sun Bowl, headed to OT tied at 24.

  Newsflash: Illinois sucks

  GT ends up losing in OT 30-27, their kicker missed 3 today. Derp.

  and UCLA is the only team that will hopefully ever finish 6-8. At least they got asses in the seats for the bowl? Good job, NCAA.

  There are too many bowl games.

  The BIG has looked less than impressive so far in its bowl games.
  
  Purdue barely hung on to beat the Western Michigan, Oklahoma spanked Iowa, Northwestern had to put on some last-minute heroics to make their loss to Texas A&M a respectable one, and Illinois barely got by a pathetic UCLA team that NEVER should have been invited to a bowl game.
  
  Nevertheless the BIG is 2-2 so far.
  
  Tomorrow and Tuesday will tell the story. I honestly can't see the BIG winning more than 3 of their next 6 bowl games.

  South Carolina scores on a 50 yard hail mary to end the 1st half. Big 10 trailing in all 4 games.
• the_system

  Nebraska is trying to give South Carolina this game.
  
  First TD xtra point blocked and returned by SC for 2 points.
  Fumbled inside the 10.
  Gave up a hail mary TD to end the half.
  Just missed a short FG.
  Two turnovers in scoring position.
  
  They still somehow only trail by 3.

  Brantley threw a TD pass earlier...whether you agreed with the call or not. So yeah, UF's offense did score.

  Box score and scoreboard say otherwise.
