What a shitty bowl game.  No teams should be playing in these baseball stadiums.  Field is crappy and players get injured.

It's a strange fetish college football has for hosting Bowl games in baseball stadiums:

Fenway, Pinstrip in Yankee Stadium, the bowl where the Diamondbacks play, and the Holiday Bowl at Petco Park (the field didn't hold up last night), and now it looks like a soccer stadium want a Chili Bowl:

Agree 100%. The field in PHX also sucked the other night for UW/oSu. Bad plan.

Why did Barnum go to Morgan? Did the Greek God get hurt?

Congrats to the Goophs.

B1G 2-0. Next up Maryland. Or are they ACC?

An 8-4 B1G team would normally be playing in a fairly decent bowl, no?

I think were I AD I'd turn down that bowl invitation.

Can't really do that.  Conference contracts and all that.

It is interesting how similar the two games appear to be.

Both favorites are undefeated teams that are generally viewed as more physical than their opponents and will want to run the ball, control the clock, and grind down their opponent.

Both underdogs lost their last game and are generally viewed as having a better QB/WR combo than their opponent.

As I see it, both underdogs are good enough to make winning a realistic possibility but they each would probably need an above average day from their defense and a great game from the aforementioned QB/WR combos. What makes it interesting is that their QB/WR combos are talented enough to make that a reasonable possibility.
I don’t think the matchups are that similar to be honest. OSU has MUCH better personnel than TCU. On defense and offense and the lines of scrimmage.

Gophers caught that BS bowl last year too.  Hopefully that means that the baseball bowls are in the rearview for a couple years.

Only one person to blame for signing your conference up for this crap-- the commissioner.  It really is possible to just say no.

Congratulations Wisconsin and Minnesota! The B1G is now 2-0 and here is what is left (sorted by pointspread from most to least favorable to the B1G):


  • Michigan -7.5 vs TCU in the Fiesta
  • -2.5 vs Kentucky in the Music City
  • Illinois even vs MsSt in the ReliaQuest
  • Maryland +1 vs NCST in the Duke's Mayo
  • Penn State +2.5 vs Utah in the Rose
  • Ohio State +6.5 vs Georgia in the Peach
  • Purdue +14.5 vs LSU in the Citrus


Nine total bowls with a chance for one more (which could involve two B1G teams):
  • One winner.
  • Three more favorites.
  • One pick.
  • Four underdogs.
  • Michigan is favored to get an extra game. They would be an underdog against UGA, not sure against tOSU*.
  • Ohio State is NOT favored to get an extra game. If they do, they'll be favored.
Updated for Minnesota's win.

At first blush it looked like multiple blown ligaments, but in his presser PJ said it would be a two week injury if it were in the regular season. Athan was back on the sideline in a walking boot by the end of the game. 

This shit bowl game has got to go. No business playing on a baseball field.

The Big Ten basically just moves teams around, aside from the Rose getting the best available.  And there's some rule that a team can't go to the same bowl twice in a 6 year span.  Part of my complaint about the bowl selection process. Once you get bowl eligible, it's not even like you are necessarily playing for a better bowl.
