Game Thread: Bowl Games | Sat Dec 28 | 8 games (ABC/ESPN starting at 10am CST)

Sad seeing all the people posting on X defending sCam 2.0 and attacking Shedeur and Hunter for playing until the end.

I'm on the warpath - this is one of the main reasons CFB is fading for me. The selfish aspect is disgusting.

That blown call from the ECU game....and the revenge 86 yard TD run.......

 

[TitleWave]

ACC is 1-8 so far in bowl games, and got 2 teams in the final 12.

If only Norvell and the 'Noles hadn't got (their feelings) hurt -

 

[CajunCrimson]

There are three teams I detest:
Notre Dame
BYU
Auburn

I'm rooting for Colorado!

Hating BYU is like hating soft serve vanilla ice cream (no sprinkles) isn’t it?

Those referees should be ashamed of themselves and unemployed.No justification for that stupidity.

C J Bailey, the QB for NC State took his eye off a snap and dropped the ball and after the play was yelling at his center. On the replay, I could see the snap was not middle of his torso, but very catchable. Bailey just dropped it. yelling at a fellow player is not a good look. I was unimpressed by that lack of composure.

ECU and NC State start next season playing each other in Raleigh. Might be interesting.

Were they from the SEC?

In the meantime, SEC officials say “LOL… that ain’t nothin’. Ya seen our work the last five years? Hold our beers and watch us in 2025…”

Travis Hunter ran his mouth all night to Sanders on offense and practically everyone on defense. He’ll get humbled by the NFL.

Sanders the Lesser (DB) was showing of his little girl dance after making a tackle and in the process earning a penalty. Then was shocked to see the flag on the field.
Here's a suggestion Mr. Sanders, focus more on fundamentals and making a play without breaking the rules and focus less on your little girl dance. That might be better for your team.

Im not saying football is rigged, but when you see crap like that it sure gives people the ammunition to say it is. Absolutely no excuse for that....

I miss the days when the biggest problem we had in Alabama was our offensive lineman wanting to fight our quarterback.

I can't stand soft serve ice cream ... in any flavor.

It isn't unprecedented. 1964 Sugar Bowl

yeah, but I wouldn’t cite that. In 1957, Louisiana passed the law forbidding mixed race sports, and we can argue over how exactly that was applied, but at the same time northern teams largely boycotted that game. That is why from 1957 until the end of 1964, those games are a bunch of southern teams playing each other, including a rematch of the famous LSU versus Ole Miss Billy Cannon game from 1959. It is no accident that the federal civil rights act was passed in June 1964 and Syracuse played in the game on New Year’s Day of 1965 against LSU.

But there’s another one that affects our history, the 1966 Rose Bowl between Michigan State and UCLA. That year, UCLA opened their season on the road in Lansing against the Spartans and lost. But because of the uproar over 1964‘s national champion, they decided to include the bowl games and just by chance, Michigan State wound up in a Rose Bowl rematch of the season opener against UCLA in Pasadena and lost. Because of the rematch, Alabama won the associated pressure share of the national championship when we beat Nebraska that evening, and it allowed us to go back to back.
