Happy New Year! January 1st Early Bowl Games Live Thread

more posts by author

Hopefully your new year is off to a splendid start.

I had requests to combine the bowl game threads so we'll happily oblige this morning since forming sentences is a bit of a challenge.

Outback Bowl Wisconsin - Tennessee
FanIQ says Vols (75%)

Cotton Bowl Missouri - Arkansas
FanIQ says Tigers (76%)

Gator Bowl Texas Tech - Virginia
FanIQ says Red Raiders (83%)

Capitol One Citrus Bowl Florida vs Michigan
FanIQ says Gators (92%)

Feel free to Q it up here. Not sure why Texas Tech and Virginia are playing on New Year's Day, but the rest are all fantastic games. Enjoy. I'll have more thoughts throughout the day.

3	Mike Hart might just be the most annoying player in college football. STFU ... and if you're going to be talking like that don't cost your team 14 points. This game really shouldn't be close with the silly turnovers.

0	Forgot Pat Summeral was doing the Cotton Bowl today.

0	If you're in the mood -- 1 drink for every time they mention speed vs strength in either Big 10/SEC game today. Guh.

0	Anyone else wonder if Felix Jones is the better NFL prospect?

0	Tyler Donovan is a stud ... and I am a loser here talking to myself.

0	Huge blocked FG. Phillip Fulmer apparently wants to be fired. Putting Jones in at QB for those 3 plays was amazingly stupid.

1	Poor Missouri being totally jobbed by the BCS.

0	If you're going to be talking all game, Mike Hart, better back it up and not fumble.

1	Is there a bigger complainer in college football than Urban Meyer? My God he is annoying.

0	nice hit by Adams!

1/1/08

0	(Edited by kantwistaye) What is going on with Mike Hart? If he holds on to the ball its 42-21 right now. Tim Tebow is getting beat the heck up. No way he makes it a full 4 years without getting a pretty serious injury.

0	This Florida-Michigan game is crazy. It's probably the most entertaining game of the bowl season thus far.

0	Well that was quite the game. I never thought Michigan would've won that game, and not only did they, but they controlled it. Nice way to send out Lloyd Carr.

0	Michigan was the better team today. The experience won out over the inexperienced. Hopefully Florida learns from their major mistakes.
