Kuetsar Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 The thing to question is the month long layoff. I know why its in place, for finals and other reasons, so its not going to change. But the gap allows the cream to rise, as it gives coaches more time to plan, hot teams to cool a bit, and probably a dozen other things I'm forgetting. . . .

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 My problem wasn't the match ups it was having the games on NYE. How the fuck is half the country going to watch the first game when they are at work? How the fuck is most of the country going to watch the second game when they have dinner/parties and other obligations going on? The bowls used to be on New Years Day for a reason and it was perfect. Fucking keep it that way and if the Rose or the Sugar don't like it, Fuck 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 So TCU down 28 blocks a punt only to be picked out of the air by a Baylor guy for a 1st down. Not sure if I have ever seen that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 And now TCU is on the verge of completing an epic comeback. Got the ball inside the 5, down 3, 30 seconds to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sabin Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Adams and the starting center both getting hurt opened the door for TCU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Helfrich doing absolutely nothing to prepare his backups opened the door for TCU. FTFY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 North Dakota State up 24-0 with six minutes left in the first half, well on their way to their fifth consecutive FCS Championship. And Carson Wentz is really, really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I thought it would've been neat to see Jack State win this. But I didn't even remember it was on until this post, so obviously I didn't care that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Want to watch something else on ESPN tonight? Fuck you, ESPN has coverage on FOURTEEN different channels. ESPN — Standard Broadcast This is the normal broadcast for the game, with Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit — ESPN's primetime duo — in the booth, and Heather Cox and Tom Rinaldi on the sidelines. ESPN2 — Film Room Brian Griese and Chris Spielman will be breaking down the game from multiple angles, along with Florida coach Jim McElwain and "other additional guests." Dan Mullen, Pat Narduzzi and Mike Riley provided awesome analysis from a coaches' perspective last year. ESPN Radio — Standard Broadcast This is the standard radio broadcast for the game, with Mike Tirico and Todd Blackledge in the booth, and Holly Rowe and Joe Schad on the sidelines. ESPNews — ESPN Voices This is just a bunch of people — some of whom pay attention to college football — watching a game together. Last year, it was just a lot of people eating food. It was more entertaining than most of this year's bowl games. ESPNU — Homer Broadcast This broadcast will feature different former players watching the game together. Joe Tessitore will host former Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd and former Alabama center Barrett Jones watching the game together. Other "partisan guests" will join, too. SEC Network — Finebaum Film Room Paul Finebaum will host a show with analysis from Greg McElroy, Booger McFarland and Arkansas coach Bret Bielema. They will take live calls from fans, and fans can interact with the Twitter hashtag #FinebaumFilmRoom. Tune in to see Bielema talk to angry/happy Alabama fans. ESPN Classic — Sounds of the Game This is the live broadcast of the game, with all natural sound and no announcers. You can also watch this on ESPN3. ESPN Goal Line — Command Center This will be a split-screen telecast with live game action, immediate replays of every play, isolated camera feeds of both head coaches, enhanced statistics, real-time drive charts and the ESPN Radio broadcast. ESPN Deportes — Spanish-Language Call The game will be broadcast in Spanish by Lalo Varela, Pablo Viruega, Bernardo Osuna and Carlos Nava ESPN3 Mock Replay Booth: In this broadcast, current ACC and SEC replay officials will join another official and rules expert to take viewers through every relay review, explaining the process and which plays are subject to review. Pylon Cam: Pylon cam came up big in the Clemson-Oklahoma game, and it will broadcast the whole game, with camera angles on eight pylons around the end zones, along with other camera feeds. Home Town Radio: The radio announcers for each team will be calling games on separate feeds, with customized shots of head coaches and star players. Data Center: This feed will show analytics, drive charts, win probability updates, social media reaction and more. Spider Cam: The "spider cam" that maneuvers the field will give fans a better view to analyze the game. Taco Bell Student Section: These cameras will focus on "the most enthusiastic fans" in the student sections, plus bands, mascots and cheerleaders.

EVA Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I like Alabama. Um, in the game, not just in general. Clemson is a great team and Watson will provide a big challenge, but if defense wins championships, then Alabama losing with the #1 rush defense, #1 pass rush, and #1 scoring defense would be a pretty enormous anomaly. Unless Bama turns it over 5 times like they did against Ole Miss, they win. And based on their last 3 appearances in the title game, it shouldn't be surprising if it's by multiple TDs.

Burgundy LaRue Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Watson has to play an insanely great game, or it's Bama Someone wrote that he needs to become a combination of Cam Newton and Aaron Rodgers for Clemson to win. Uhhhh, that ain't happening. Seems like Clemson's defense is banged up a bit with Alexander and Lawson, too. If Ridley and Stewart torch them early, it's going to get ugly fast. Clemson is a really good team so I don't discount them. But they'll have to be firing on all cylinders to win, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I was thinking Rose Bowl Vince Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I was thinking Rose Bowl Vince Young. I've read that one, too. That was a once in a millennium performance. You can fart on his pro career, but college-era Vince Young was no one to mess with, especially in that game. It's hard to see that happening again.

Brian Fowler Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I was all-in on Young deserving the Heisman over Bush before the game, but fully understood why Bush won it. By the time the game was over, Bush winning looked like the study Heisman vote ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Of course I have Clemson winning since I'm been saying that and Watson should have won the Heisman for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
