I feel like the end of this season may have been a program turning point
I sure hope this leads to something more.  they get a lot of people back next year (in case you havent heard) the Gophers were one of the youngest teams in all of college football
8 Freshman were starting on offense in the bowl game.  and only 1 senior
only 3 defensive starters not coming back

Mr. Oar seems to have the Goophers on the right track. That was a really good win to get the B1G started in bowl season. 



Hopefully UW can maintain tomorrow.

Sloppy Bowl in Phoenix between Cal & TCU. Not sure I’ve seen so many interceptions in one half. Six so far?

I'm hatin' on the refs again.

32 seconds till the half Cal gets a first down. Cal starts setting up expecting the clock to be stopped as it's supposed to be. But the Ref rears it's ugly head, says to roll the clock anyway. 8 Seconds tick off, Cal freaks out trying to get a play off, leading to an off-sides call, a time-out burned to save another 10 seconds. Everyone on Cal's complaining, leading to the next play of INT.

What was setting up to be a half ending field goal attempt to take a two possession lead, implodes because of should be basic ref'ing 101 type mistake. Err.

Edit: Granted, at any point Cal could have righted the ship, but they shouldn't have to fight the opponent, clock, and refs at the same time.

John Buccigross’s SportsCenter highlights of TCU-Cal was much more entertaining than the game.

It was a solid reel.      That game was the greatest supporting evidence for bringing back the 'tie'.

Driving the in-laws van to Florida tonight and tomorrow.  According to the interwebs I can listen to the Wisconsin/Miami game on Sirius 84 so I'll be doing that.  I hope so too, would be great to get off to a 2-0 start!

So we are 1-0 with the following to go (lines from worldwide leader):
  • Wisconsin as a 2.5 point dog against Miami in the Pinstripe Bowl, NYC Today at 5:15pm
  • Purdue as a 3.5 point dog against Auburn in the Music City Bowl, Nashville, TN Friday at 1:30pm
  • Michigan as a 5.5 point favorite against Florida in the Peach Bowl, Atlanta Saturday at noon
  • Michigan State as a 2.5 point dog against Oregon in the Redbox Bowl, Santa Clara, CA Monday at 3pm
  • Northwestern as a 7 point dog against Utah in the Holiday Bowl, San Diego, CA Monday at 7pm
  • Iowa as a 7 point dog against MissSt in the Outback Bowl, Tampa, FL Tuesday (NYD) at noon
  • Penn State as a 6.5 point favorite in the Citrus Bowl, Orlando, FL Tuesday at 1pm
  • Ohio State as a 6.5 point favorite in the Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA Tuesday at 5pm

If all the favorites win we'll finish 4-5.  Hopefully the favorites can hold and at least one of our underdogs and pull off an upset.

Glad I didn't go to the Cheez-It Bowl, in hindsight.  Yeeesh.  
I'm no longer going to the Fiesta, my friend from Vegas isn't coming down.

If you have bluetooth to the radio, there's also TuneIn Radio. I got the [free] app for my phone and have been able to listen to every Purdue football or basketball game when on the road and can't watch. 
It's also nice as the feed is the Purdue sports radio network, so home or away you get the homer announcers. 
XM usually has the home team's announcers, although for the bowl game it might be a neutral crew. Our recent car purchase included XM, so on the way back from Oregon after Thanksgiving I was listening to Purdue @ IU via XM. It was annoying to have to listen to the IU homers... Although fun to hear their lamentations when Purdue was winning ;-)

Well, Purdue and Iowa are dogs to unmotivated SEC teams, so maybe one of them can win ;-)

A repeat of last year with everyone winning except for the Wolverines would be ideal.
