Anyone else watch that Birmingham Bowl between Memphis and Wake this morning? That was a GREAT game!

First Responder Bowl was cancelled today due to weather. Kinda ironic.
Looking forward to the Cheez It Bowl tonight.

I’m optimistic about the Minnesota Gophers again. PJ Fleck’s first year was a bit of a downer, but his team is really young and they pretty much won the games they were supposed to win, played Ohio State close most of the game, reeled off a few wins at year’s end to take back Paul Bunyan’s Axe and make a bowl game, where they handled Gealrgia Tech pretty easily.

Don Brown's defense never looks like the top rated defense it's billed as when playing against a quality offense either. I'm about done with Harbaugh.

If you count his 2 BCS bowls along with this game, Kelly’s ND teams have been outscored 116-45 in top tier bowl games.

Oklahoma had better hope this call holds up their Swiss cheese D needs a lot of help or this will be a laugher

We had, and blew, our chance in West Lafayette. However, I am absolutely certain that we would have provided better competition than either Notre Dame or Oklahoma.
