New Year's Eve College Football Bowl Game Open Comment Thread

PrintHappy New Year! The title of this posting says it all, but, just in case you need additional details, here's the drill:
It's New Year's Eve. There are bowl games. These are they:
- Meineke Car Care of Texas Bowl: Northwestern Wildcats v. Texas A&M Aggies (noon, ESPN)
- Sun Bowl: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets v. Utah Utes (2:00 p.m., CBS)
- Liberty Bowl: Cincinnati Bearcats v. Vanderbilt Commodores (3:30 p.m., ABC)
- Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl: Illinois Fighting Illini v. UCLA Bruins (3:30 p.m., ESPN)
- Chick-fil-A Bowl: Auburn Tigers v. Virginia Cavaliers (7:30 p.m., ESPN)
(All times Eastern. Not just for this posting, mind you, but for every single time I provide a time for the rest of my life.)
At noon, we begin a run of five straight bowl games, which between them feature SEC newcomer Texas A&M, our in-state rivals, two of our annual conference foes, and possibly Ron Zook, provided he hasn't already been run out of town on a rail.
The whole thing will be capped off by the now-traditional ESPN New Year's Eve spectacle, in which the Worldwide Leader will televise an idiot doing something incredibly idiotic that will make you go, "What an idiot! Hey, honey, come here and watch this idiot try to kill himself on live TV by being an idiot!"
Join in the conversation as we follow the games, share our new year's resolutions, look ahead to Monday's Outback Bowl, reflect on the year now behind us, explain why we're rooting for or against today's combatants, and generally enjoy the final day of 2011 in one another's company. If this thread gets too long, we'll open up a new one and announce in this one that we're moving. In the meantime, have at it, Bulldog Nation!
Go 'Dawgs!

I wish the Aggies fumble on the opening kickoff had stood. Oh well, they will probably combust in the 2nd half…

Probably, though, for me, this is a non-rival SEC team facing a Big Ten team, . . .
. . . which makes it an easy call for me, though I’m sick of all the SEC/Big Ten bowl matchups. Gig ’em, Aggies!

The only thing worse
Than hearing an Aggie talk about A&M football, is going to an Aggie wedding… just trust me on that one.

One of my best friends married an Aggie...
… and I was a groomsman at their wedding. The only reason they walked into their reception to the tune of the Aggie War Hymn is because she forbade him to use it for their walk down the aisle.
But they’re practically family to us, so I still gotta side with ’em. :-)

I tend to differ
From most SEC fans, in that I want every team without a G on their helmets to lose in an embarrassing fashion… only because it should help us with recruiting.
Fair enough.
That’s a credible position.

I need aTm to win this one
because like an idiot, I’ve got 32 confidence points sitting on this game in my bowl pick-em, in which I currently sit in 1st place. I intended to drop them down, but didn’t get a chance this morning. I’ve got the Cocks picked to beat Nebraska and Ohio State picked to beat UF, so that’s what I’m hoping to see, simply for that sake. The ideal outcome in the latter would be some sort of nuclear explosion at the stadium, though, just to eliminate both programs.
The South, to me, is fried chicken and catfish caviar -- that's grits -- and good-looking women.

BTW - Time Brandow has already given SC the east and to UGA and UF to watch out for Mizzou.
Then they started talking about Matt Met and how great he was going to be.
I really would like to get through the draft and spring camp before we make such big assumptions. And Mizzou is going to be stunned by UGA regardless.

Cool story, bro:
In 2011, I lost my dear grandfather, who was a huge influence on my life in many ways, and whom I loved just as dearly as I love my parents and my wife. He went to medical school at Virginia, so I always look fondly upon them when they have occasion to play on TV.
But damn, son… that’s a whole lot of orange to root for. I just don’t know if I can do it. I mean, I can do it for my grandfather… but damn.

Virginia's shade of orange
is more blood-orange. I think there’s a tint of red to it, so it’s a little more palatable.

But there's just so MUCH of it... that's the problem.
Their standard helmet and “home jersey” is dark blue. I guess they chose to wear the orange tops because they were the “away” team and didn’t want to wear white after Labor Day or something. And I don’t think they’ve worn orange helmets any time recently.

Theoretically, Virginia's orange is Auburn's orange.
Charles Herty, a Georgia alum, and George Petrie, a Virginia alum, were classmates as graduate students at Johns Hopkins in the late 1880s, before football had come to the Deep South. After receiving their doctoral degrees from the Baltimore institution at which they acquired the love of the gridiron game, Herty became a professor at Georgia and Petrie became a professor at Auburn. Both men started football programs on the campuses at which they worked, and, when Petrie got the Plainsmen’s program going, he selected his undergraduate alma mater‘s colors, orange and blue, to be the Tigers’ colors.

I'm glad he's still there.
He runs an offense that essentially only he runs, so everything innovative they did to prepare for the bowl game will be completely useless next fall. With both coordinators gone, the bowl practices will have done much to prepare Auburn for Virginia, but virtually nothing to prepare the Plainsmen for 2012. It stinks for the Hoos, but it doesn’t hurt us.

Virginia's defense
must be pretty bad because Auburn’s offense ain’t great.

Exactly.
The fact that Virginia sucks at an even greater proportional level doesn’t change the absolute level of Auburn’s suckage.

So using the transitive properties
Auburn sucks, but is beating a suckier Virginia, who beat Georgia Tech….Therefore Georgia Tech…

... beat Clemson.
Therefore, Georgia actually beat Clemson this season, too.

Velveeta

Was I the only one that noticed the Sun Bowl (gatechs game)
was actually preempted by the Kentucky/Louisville basketball game. Coverage of the Sun Bowl was supposed to start at 2:00 EST and CBS finally switched over just in time to catch the kick-off….tells you what people think of Georgia Tech Football

Hey, I don't blame them.
You know all those Tech fans really wanted to see the end of the basketball game, too. They are ACC fans, after all.

Well, looks like the Tiglesmen are going to prove that the SEC is better than the ACC (again).
That’s my cue to switch over to Ryan Seacrest’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with cameo appearances by Dick Clark.
Good night everybody… happy new year!!

I don't care about the GIT [sic] or Aubie........
all I care about is that UGA wins in the class room and on the field; we are doing both. Go Dogs!!!!!

What to do? Im still in a small town 30 miles north of Durham NC for work.
All by my lonesome. I could watch this “football” game or maybe watch True Grit on netflix. It just seems to me that Auburn is a mid pack ACC team. I know, Im rambling but ive had a few.
I say watch a little more of the game, then watch True Grit. )

Don't forget, as soon as this game is over, . . .
. . . two idiots are going to do something idiotic that will baffle you with its sheer idiocy!
Seriously, my wife and I watch this every year, just to make fun of these morons. One year, a guy tried to flip a truck. They showed footage of the guy’s practice run. It ended precisely the way common sense and a working knowledge of basic physics would tell you it would.
While we’re on the subject, I like trucks . . . and Auburn sucks.

Yep.
Non-SEC fans mock the “SEC speed” mantra, but the fact is that Virginia defenders have been a half-step shy of smearing about 30 or 35 Auburn plays; they just haven’t been fast enough to close the deal. If the Cavaliers had an SEC defensive line, this game would look very different.

If that had been an SEC defensive line, Barrett Trotter would now be dead.

Kyle, come to think of it, Virginia is at best a mediocre team. When you beat Idaho by only 1 point,
When you beat Idaho by only 1 point on October 1, it says a lot about the level of competition

Remember the moral of the story, everyone:
Don’t drink Red Bull and operate heavy machinery, because Red Bull will make you jump your heavy machinery over stuff for no reason.
Also, this bowl season has been good for guys with Roman numerals after their names. Hopefully, that’s good news for Richard Samuel IV.
