BG College Football Bowl Pick Em (and Bowl Discussion Thread)

[Insanecyclone]

UCLA and Temple is starting

[Zoolander]

lol, fucking Pac10 looking like shit continues.

[Akiyama]

Yeah. I wish I knew the Pac10 would be this year's Big 10 when I was making all of my picks. I swear to god if I hear stuff about 'they just don't care about these lesser bowls, blahblah' bullshit after they've been getting their asses kicked by 'lesser' opponents, I'm gonna choke a bitch.

[Insanecyclone]

Wow that UCLA catch for a TD was cool

[Akiyama]

Yeah, great catch.

[archibaldcrane]

This is a nice little warm up game for the Archie vs Archie spectacular coming up next.

[Akiyama]

Wisconsin's gonna get dumptrucked.

[Tythera]

Wow UCLA sucks

[Bregor]

wtf @ Mike Leach, suspended for bowl game by TT

At first I thought this was a nothing story, coach yells at player, player bitches, nothing happens. Now it seems like he stuck this kid (who just happens to be Craig James's son) in an electrical closet for hours on end because he couldn't practice after a concussion. I don't want to assume anything without all the details out yet, especially after the Urban Meyer fiasco, but now this seems really bad. What sucks is I can't change my confidence picks yet (Yahoo lets you move games that haven't started yet) so I'm stuck with TT as my 33-pointer. Fuck.

Also, fucking UCLA. I had won four straight bowls and was starting to feel like I wasn't a total idiot in Pick'em. They better come back.

Yeah, but I dunno. He's been coaching for ten years and there has never been a complaint. Makes me wonder something. If this WASN'T Craig James' son, would this be getting the pub it's getting and would Leach have gotten in trouble at all? I dunno.

And yeah, ESPN sucks because you can't change shit when games start. At last in Yahoo, you can reorder them.

Yea, I'm riding that four game streak too. I thought the PAC-10 was overrated, but I didn't think by this much. I would have changed a couple of games if I could have after Oregon State got man handled by freaking BYU. My confidence rankings were a bit fucked too, not sure what I was thinking when I set it up. Hopefully I can rally though. Most people didn't pick Marshall, SMU, or Wyoming to win their bowl games. I think I will regret going with Stanford over Oklahoma, I was already on the fence with that game and actually went with OU in another Bowl League I'm in. We'll see I guess...

Looking forward to Miami v Wisconsin tonight, don't even really care if my Miami pick is right or not, just should be a good game.

[archibaldcrane]

Wisconsin's gonna get dumptrucked.

Miami's starting left tackle is out, now they have some chump starting his 2nd game ever.

All I'm sayin is, O'Brien Schofield is gonna forcibly rape Jacory Harris tonight.

[FNH]

It must be something if Leach is anticipating being fired by TT.

Same here with my 4 game win streak after starting off TERRIBLY to begin with. I'll be happy with a Top 10 tbh.

And I actually picked Wisconsin because I've said Miami was overrated all year, so I couldn't jump off that statement, even if it could be a blowout.

[archibaldcrane]

Temple got jobbed on that 3rd down spot. Dunno how you can review the spot and still uphold it.

I went with Stanford too. I thought that was a pretty good bet but I'm also not feeling great about that since two other teams I really liked (Nevada, Fresno) let me down and the Pac-10 has looked like shit. Maybe we just overrated every team that beat USC this year, thinking they were any good.

Good thing for Leach is, if he is fired he can always find a job at Abu Ghraib Gitmo Leavenworth.

Also, what the crap is this about?

Yeah, I went with Pac10 too, and had them, along with Fresno/Nevada at high confidence. So sue me if I thought they could handle SMU and what not. Fucking failures. I had like 30ish on each of them, and Pac10 at high confidence.. upper 20s. Still though, a Top 10 would be nice. I went with OU against Stanford since Luck isn't supposed to play.

Looks like he was just there to watch practice and how they setup so they won't have a letdown against Stanford? Then again, Bama also practiced hard and got the shit kicked out of them by Utah, so.. who knows why exactly. Texas fans are paranoid though, rofl.

[Insanecyclone]

holy fuck ucla

[Bregor]

That was Delhomme-esque right there.

[Akiyama]

Thanks a lot there, Ayers. Awesome play.
