NCAAF, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Iowa Hawkeyes
The Orange Bowl is the nearly meaningless BCS Bowl game this year that no one really cares about. Of the 10 teams in BCS games, Iowa and Georgia Tech are probably the least exciting ones.The tradition of the Rose Bowl isn't there. The allure of undefeated teams like Texas, Alabama, Boise State, TCU or Cincinnati is non-existent, and there's no Tim Tebow-like transcendent player.
Instead, there's Iowa's hideously ugly defensive style, and Georgia Tech's option offense. Neither team can make a claim as one of the best of the best, but it should at least be an interesting contrast in style.
The game starts at 8:00, and you can watch it on FOX. 75% of you picked Georgia Tech to win, but Iowa has surprised us a few times this year, so anything can happen. Chat it up here throughout the evening and as always, enjoy the game!

Should be an outstanding 2010 Big Ten season without worrying about the draft too.

With all the talk about Cam Heyward, Clayborn while not as rangy at 6'2 3/4 283 he has about 4.79 speed in the 40, is highly instinctive, takes very good angles, diagnoses rapidly and uses good and powerful hand-fighting technique as well as foot quickness to make plays. Those two will likely be among the top 3-7 DEs of the board and among the top 40 players selected overall.

That Wegher run does it. Iowa and the Big Ten as a whole quietly ends up with a pretty damn good bowl season.
Iowa upsets GT, Ohio St. upsets Oregon, Penn St. beats LSU, Wisconsin upsets Miami.

He did a tremendous job of not getting a safety? Did Ron forget that he was the dummy to run backwards 12 yards to put himself in that entire situation? Terrible run.

Adrian Clayborn just about locked up the MVP for this game with that first half.

Between the pick 6, that sack and the Iowa uniforms, Ricky Stanzi reminds me an awful lot of Ben Roethlisberger. If he slaps a #7 on that uniform and spends about 3 days straight at the buffet, we wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

What a 1st quarter for that Tarrant kid, good and bad.

U of Minn vs. Purdue on ESPN. I'll probably watch some of the Orange Bowl tonight just because it's football and the fact that it's the only Bowl game I've ever been to.

Definitely a better option than this game.
