Today--We have 3 MEATY, TASTY College Football Matchups--Since UNC and West Virginny have already started--no preview needed for that one. Suffice it to say, neither the tar heels or the mounties are playing any defense thus far so we are headed to a shootout. Should be awesome.
But, we have time for previews from the other 2 tasty games.
Wisconsin versus Florida State
This could actually be awesome. Can the giant cheese and brat eaters from Wisconsin hang with the slick, speedy BLINGERS from Tally. We've got a "culture" clash in this game. Paul Bunyan's Brass Band versus the Jay-Z Kanye's from Flooooreeeda! I see Wisconsin coming out early with their power game, trying to intimidate Florida State. Then, Rhodes Scholar Myron Rolle, of Florida State will bring out secret 1745 document which proves that Wisconsin still belongs to France and that this is an illegal bowl game since Le Wisconsin is a fraudulent universitie?
I see the Seminoles pulling away late---Big Gumbo Bobby Bowden and his pal Jumbo will pull out a few trick plays and baffle Le Wisconsin Brats...
FSU 28 Le Wisconsin 23 feels about right
CAL versus The U (Miami)
When this was first announced.. the Taste Meter EXPLODED! This was shaping up to be a sweet game. A little Pac10 Speed versus that ACC Miami BLING. Could the Miami NFL Hit Squad in Training muster up the "care" to play CaneBall against those Liberal Hippies from Berkeley? Well, every day that passes brings with it a new Cane who's conduct leading up to the game has warranted a suspension...by my count 5 Canes have been given the boot from this one. Miami has had problems stopping the run and those Hippies know how to run it. I see the Hippies squeaking out a decent-sized mini- blowout in this one. Cal sees The U as a big scalp, and I'm not convinced Miami can win without Robert Marve--one of the aforementioned Suspended...
Cal 27 The U 13

If Jahvid Best can get loose. I picked Cal because they beat us.
They played USC tough. Riley isn't much of a passer so UofM will put a lot of players in the box. If Tedford can find a way to hold off the 'Canes' LBs and control the line, it's lights out.

Hey guys how do you like the bowl season so far it has been pretty good with a few shocks but some good games.:thumbsup:
I think the games have been much better than I thought. I thought there'd be a few more blowouts than there have been.
The only game that has been a shitster thus far was the irish/Hawai'i game and I blame Hawai'i for not bothering to show up for that one...
I think we need to hand out some dunce caps to the Miami coaching staff for totally screwing up the last 2:30 of last night's game. The coaches handled that very amateurishly...

Louisiana Tech: 17 Northern Illinois: 10
God Weldon Brown is a beast. High in the draft. The Dogs have not won a game in the postseason in thirty years. Dooley worked under Nick Saban so I reckon he knows a few things. The Huskies outgained the Bulldogs but made too many mistakes, and squandered too many opportunities. Good job for the special teams for LTech. Good game.:thumbsup:

The Pizza Bowl--N.C. State vs Rutgers: This could be a fun game. Two comeback teams who are coming off late season charges. Both teams with explosive QBs. The Atlantic Coast is no slouch. Tough to play in. The Pack looked terrible against in-division teams early on, but rebounded against some pretty decent teams, including a win against ranked NC in Chapel Hill. Fresh QB Russell Wilson is a talent with a great college career ahead. And remember coach O'Brien won seven straight bowl games with BC. NCSt has a problem allowing late game comebacks, however, and needs to remedy this quickly. Meanwhile the Scarlet Knights are charged up, with impressive wins in their last five games, including a thumping of ranked Pitt. The passing threat of Teal to Britt could cramp the Pack quickly. Overcoming off-field scandals--unfortunately involving coach Schiavo--and overconfidence are some hurdles the Knights need to avoid. This is really a throw-up game. Both teams have average-at-best defenses but explosive offenses. High scoring and close.
The Alamo Bowl: #25 Missouri vs #22 Northwestern: Coaches Pinkel vs Fitzgerald. The former guiding a preseason-hyped team that won the Cotton Bowl last year and has been in four straight bowls, and the latter, leading his team to nine wins--the most since he played LB there in '96. Can the underdog prevail? I say yes. But unlikely. To do so they must put the clamps down on the dangerous passing combo of QB Chase Daniel and WR Jeremy Maclin--Maclin being an All-American freshman last year. One chink in the Tiger armor is pass defense. Pinkel is thinned out at CB and has been running the Nickle a lot. Plus the Mizz pass rush ain't exactly on fire. NW runs a spread as well and QB C.J. Bacher can look good at times, but is prone to mistakes if pressured. The Cats are capable of a solid pass rush, with a team total 33 sacks. But this could end up a foot race. If so, The Cats could be in trouble. They only averaged about 25 points per game.

Man NC State is up on the Knights and they look good at halftime and I was thinking Rutgers would win big

Wilson is out for the second half for the Wolfpack this may give the Knights a chance
