He barely touched the kicker but he shouldn't have been that close to him anyways.

Okay, I HAVE to know - who hit a kicker....what happened???

AXOmom · #3 12-04-2011, 03:24 AM

Never mind, just caught up on Sport Center. Crap, why does all the interesting stuff happen the minute I step away once for a staff Christmas party. Note to self: Saturdays should be devoted entirely to college football- no exceptions.

Awesome game. It's really hard for teams to keep the momentum up against the Tigers for more than a couple quarters. I'm glad I wore my Honey Badger shirt. Very deserving MVP.

At least, UGA can say they allowed LSU to become the 1st SEC team to not score a 1st down in the 1st half.

Congratulations.

*sigh* Sad day in Michigan. So close... but where was Michigan State's defense??? And that probably knocks Michigan out of a BCS bowl invitation. *sigh*

I still cannot believe that game happened the way it did... I keep going back over it and keep coming to the conclusion that there is no way we could have won.

We don't have cable at my house (I am a poor medical student and my roommate and I were not willing to pay $120 a month) so we set up both the ACC and Big 10 games streaming on the internet, one to a large computer screen and one to our TV. Between the streaming onto the computer and the streaming to the TV, the Big 10 game was running a good 2 minutes behind the actual time. My roommate was watching on Game Cast, so she was enjoying herself at the end because she knew it was going to work out for me and I was rolling on the floor in misery.

She deserved some enjoyment though, because she's a V Tech fan and that did not go well.

Oh well, they are a young team and next year should be great for them.

I really wanted them to win, especially because an WVU v. V Tech Orange Bowl would have been incredible.

Words cannot even express the outrage at Oklahoma State. Talk about getting screwed. OSU won the Big 12 which was the #1 BCS rated conference. This selection is just wrong and shows the unbelievable bias towards the SEC.

I hate OSU and I agree. I forget who said it but someone mentioned that LSU has to beat Bama twice to be national champs, while Bama only has to beat LSU once. That just seems ridiculous. Yes, I know they are the two best teams in the country. I just think you should have to win your conference to play for the national title.

Although I despise Les Miles and LSU, I'll be rooting for LSU just because it seems more fair.

No, it shows a bias towards Saban. The SEC has been decided. What is the point of replaying LSU v Alabama? LSU is the SEC champion. LSU is the SEC West Champion. In what way could Alabama be the National Champion just by beating LSU in one game? Oklahoma St is the Champion of another conference, so if they beat LSU in a NC championship setting, there would be none of these complications, though the AP would still likely split the title. Dumb.

Agree.

The BCS Selection show is a joke! It's taken 2 hours and they aren't finished yet!!

(I had to look up where the TicketCity Bowl is...aka The Cotton Bowl.

Nope, the Cotton Bowl is still alive and well. It's just a non BCS bowl now.

Nevermind, lol.

What the heck is the TicketCity Bowl?! Is this a joke? OSU got the Gator Bowl and we beat them. We got passed over for the Meineke Car Care Bowl for crying out loud! Not happy about this. The players didn't deserve this. At least the stadium is nice...

GatorDG · #15 12-04-2011, 09:38 PM

I am so sorry psusue. I am sure the reason is to try to whip up some interest for TV ratings for the Gator Bowl. They are probably counting on the UF/Urban/OSU bringing in viewers. From my point of view, who the heck care who wins between two 6-6 teams. I am not sure any time that goes 6-6 should even be in a bowl!!!
