EVA Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Pickett and Walker opting out of the Peach Bowl turned that game from must-see to “whatever, I’m sure I’ll have better things to do” in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I hate when announcers don't understand what happened on the field and thus can't explain it properly, further confusing people at home that may have looked away or missed what happened also. Don't they have people in their ears to help them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 Oh boy the ending to the NIU/CCU game: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Yea that's what I am referencing. I had no issue (in real time) with the call the WR was inbounds as it did look like his shoulder hit the ground before he got out, but the clock started early with the referee still in the way, so that part was really bad. I just didn't like the commentators AFTER the game was over not focusing on that, but asking "was it a catch? was he out of bounds? what was the call?" even though I thought that was settled when they did a 1st down play.

Tarheel Moneghetti Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) I may tune in to the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl just to watch the announcers fulfill their contractual obligation to say "Jimmy KImmel LA Bowl" every few minutes. What a terrible, awkward name. I really miss the days when bowl games had names that were easy to understand and remember instead of some awkward sponsor name. When did that start? Blockbuster Bowl? That's the first one I remember. i have a hard time recognizing bowls anymore because I'm never sure if it's a new game or just an established bowl game with a new title sponsor.

The sponsoring of bowls started in 1986 with the Sunkist Fiesta Bowl, more bowls followed suit in 1987. The first bowl with just the sponsor name was the John Hancock Bowl aka Sun Bowl in 1989. The Blockbuster Bowl started up in 1990, the same year we got the Poulan Weed Eater Independence Bowl. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Yeah, I don't really mind the "Capital One Citrus Bowl" all that much but then when it became just the "Capital One Bowl" that felt like a grave insult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 COVID policy notes for this year's playoffs Teams can advance and even win the National title via forfeit The title game - scheduled for Jan 10 - can be pushed back as far as Jan 14 If both teams can't play in the Championship game - the game will be off and the title declared vacant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to say I'm surprised that the Ags are the first team to have this happen, but I'm trying to teach my six year old the value of honesty. So yeah, I'm not even remotely surprised.

Apparently Bost is one of the covid cases. So the next QB option was an injured WR running the option. Ags probably didn't try too hard to make this game happen after Bost came up positive.
