Non "Pinstripe Bowl" Bowl Talk

[Redbar]

Good for Coach O'leary, he is a very good coach and has done a great job in Orlando.

I've asked this a hundred times, but does O'Leary turn ND around if he isn't fired?

Who knows?

Based on his first 3 years at UCF he would have been fired. He went 0-11, 8-5, 4-8 for 12-24. His predecessor was fired for a 16-19 record.

Before O'Leary UCF had one 10 win season in 25 years. George has done it 4 times in 10 seasons.

BUT his record is a roller coaster, peak seasons followed by a plunge and UCF doesn't play an ND schedule.

UCF doesn't have ND players either.

Just burn this into your brain. UCF has a BCS bowl win. ND doesn't even have a close loss.

Cool at first. Odd on so many levels near the end

Anybody think Oky has a shot tonight?

 

[ACamp1900]

Sure they have 'a shot'... teams that just miss title games tend to have those let down bowls... but this is OU, and they tend to like getting their ass whipped in post season games... so........

 

[koonja]

Rooting hard for Oklahoma tonight, but if Bama is going to win, I'm rooting for a blow out because I'm stupid and convinced it will help us get Michiah Quick.

 

[palinurus]

I have a feeling Bama plays with a chip tonight. I usually subscribe to the "they don't want to be there" school of bowl game prediction, but Bama seems to think they are the best team in spite of the Auburn loss and might want to show it.

 

[IrishJayhawk]

Anybody think Oky has a shot tonight?

No. Saban with a few weeks to prepare is not going to lose.

 

[Riddickulous]

This is going to be the most boring of the BCS bowls if you're not a Bama fan.

 

[palinurus]

I see Bama came out a little flat.

That's why God creating vGambling.

No different than Manti Te'o's last year in Norman.

Switzer on winning money in New Orleans: "I haven't carried this much money around with me since I recruited"

Haha

 

[Riddickulous]

What an awful pass and decision.

I wasn't intending for that statement to be taken literally.

I'd forgotten about him completely. Huh.

Oklahoma is playing really well. Knight is impressive.

That's what happens when you get four 4 star TEs in a 2 year span.

Oh please please please please.
For tonight only Boomer Sooner

He did the superman not throat slash stupid refs.

Think of how dumb that rule is. Do that jesture at your chest, not a penalty, do it 6 inches higher, 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct.

My theory... Saban told his kids he was leaving before the game. They gettin curb stomped.

I was thinking that he didn't put in the prep time cause he was too buy interviewing.
