College Football Bowl Open Comment Thread, with a Poll Question!

for all of the 6-6 teams to win. It’s sounds better when talking about the season to say that we beat x teams with winning records, y of which won their bowl game. Delightfully, Auburn has a one game cushion between a loss in the bowl game and a non winning record and so with an Auburn loss, we all win! Going to go watch the Auburn Sucks rap on YouTube. If you’ll excuse me.

I’m a Georgia fan not an SEC fan. If the other teams in our conference do well, then bully to them. If they lose, then I’m cool with that too. The only game I really care about is the Outback Bowl. Actually, that’s not completely accurate. I want LSU to win, because I have to deal with way too man Bammers on a daily basis. They have been absolutely insufferable this year.

I voted my TeamSpeedKills Bowl Ballot at ESPN based on a melange of vegas odds, media stories, and gut. On the really tough ones I went Old Testament and tossed a coin so God could choose for me. Oh and I voted against Auburn, naturally.

With any other school playing Florida, I’d pull for ‘em, but this one is really meteoric. I guess it’s a lose-lose situation for all the right reasons.

With any coach other than James Franklin, I’d not only be pulling for Vandy to win their bowl, but I might just be celebrating the fact that Vandy is in a bowl in the first place with mucho entusiasmo. There’s just something about that guy and I can’t put my finger quite on. Wait a minute…now I remember. He’s an asshole.

I hope Tech wins. We gotta keep Paul Johnson on the Flats.

I hate them all. I used to be somewhat indifferent towards Vandy, but Coach Douche has changed my mind about them.

The SEC is the best conference and nothing short of …..well nothing, can change that. Our conference is going to win a bevy of bowl games, but I will not be rooting for any SEC team. I’ll root for Sparkey’s new team in Columbus before I root for the detested and loathed Gators. I prefer LSU to beat Alabama, but I won’t root for them either.

As far as the rest of the games, I generally root for the underdog. I like a good upset.

Two guys who exist for the sole purpose of making Mark May and Jesse Palmer appear credible.

Right about now, it’s looking like the addition of Temple would do a lot to legitimize the Big East as a conference. Think about that for a minute.

. . . that every team playing in a bowl game today is a team that has played in Sanford Stadium to serve as schedule fodder for the Bulldogs in a paycheck game, or should have.

I thought the only famous potato bowl was the Mashed Potato Bowl at KFC????

Playing While Georgia or Penn Wagers Goof

I believe that Utah State player had the sideline with a blocker…and threw it back over the middle.

Folks may scoff, but, under a playoff system, the Bobcats would never have a shot at a win like this.

Reason # whatever-you-choose that there are not too many bowl games.

I will watch the NC and a few other bowls but the only win i care about is ours

interviews for Florida’s vacated offensive coordinator post. Interesting pedigree, but this just seems odd to me.

…and I could watch this for hours. In fact, I have.

Sounds very North Dallas Forty to me.

. . . but it appears we’re in for a second straight exciting finish on the first day of bowl season!

(Yes, I flipped back over to the New Orleans Bowl after the end of the basketball game. Yes, I know this probably is not a healthy sign.)

since they’ve donated us a win or two over the years.

…for the past few years, I’ve considered myself the typical “Georgia first, SEC second” fan. I believe I’ve even chanted “SEC” before. I didn’t actively cheer for, but wanted the SEC team to win in the NC each year at least since this streak started in 2006. I figured it was good for our specific program for our conference to finally be considered the best of the best.
Well, that happened. Nobody in the world can honestly argue with a straight face that any conference is better than the SEC. We own the college football world, and that’s not going to change for awhile.
What I discovered last year was that, basically, there was no way in hell I was going to root for Auburn. After all of the mess of last year’s Auburn team, Scam, the fisticuffs and ugly behavior in their game against us, I discovered that I hate Auburn with an irreplaceable, burning hate. I actively rooted for Oregon to win last year.

We don’t need the conference recognition. We have it. It’s not going anywhere.

So with all of that being said, my new viewpoint is an incredibly simple one:
“Georgia first, everybody else can go to hell.”

It doesn’t matter what everybody else is doing. If we take care of business and go undefeated in the SEC, we’ll go the the NC. It’s on our shoulders each year, so (for the most part) I say screw the strength of schedule arguments. It’s just something for them to talk about. I want every single SEC school to feel the pain of loss. Let’s face it, Gator tears aren’t the only ones that taste sweet. I want a mix drink of Bourbon and a Gator/Tiglesman/Cock/Vol/Commie/Bengal/Rebbear/Tide/Fauxdog/Cat/Hog tear cocktail.

So yes, I hope that all of the SEC teams, and Boise State, lose their bowl games. As for the NC game, I choose LSU because the Tide doesn’t deserve to be called NCs over LSU.

that being said, Go Dawgs!

I can’t bring myself to root for Florida ever. Fortunately, Arkansas saved me from what could have been a very uncomfortable UF/USC game if USC still needed another loss. As for everyone else, I’m fine with them rubbing the SEC’s superiority in the other conferences’ faces.
