I need a break from these announcers.  Watching CFB 150 on ESPNU.  I'd rather listen to Barry Switzer talk about recruiting for awhile.

Hell of an effort by the Colorado RB to score that TD and get them back in the game.  Texas was all over that sweep.  Kid just wanted it.
Yeah, he had no business scoring there.

To be fair, the sponsor was perfect.  They're absurd and out of control now, but that was a perfect marriage.
While Tostitos was perfect, it wasn't the first one or even the second sponsor for the Fiesta 
The Sunkist Fiesta was a great name.  Remember the IBM OS/2 Fiesta?   YouTube that game and check out the field conditions for that game.   Just dreadful.

I grew up with the FedEx Orange Bowl and the USF+G Sugar Bowl.  WTF is USF+G?  There should be a bowl sponsorship committee to make sure we only get combinations akin to the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

No weedeaters, no .coms, none of that crap.  Have a weekly show, introducing a new sponsorship pairing, lol.

I had actually forgotten it was originally the Sunkist Fiesta Bowl and, yeah, that was a good fit too.  Sunkist would actually be a great fit for the Orange Bowl too.

How dare you!
Sunkist is in CA.  Do NOT mix your oranges.  The Orange Bowl will be sponsored by Florida's Natural or Tropicana ONLY.  The other can sponsor the Citrus Bowl, but that's named for the citrus growers anyway.

And do NOT be fooled by "Simply Orange"......they Simply mix oranges from all over the western hemisphere for that swill.

If I’m Sam Ehlinger I’m probably declaring for the draft because he might not have a job if he comes back to Texas.

His backup is showing out.

There are 2 reasons Ehlinger should come back to UTA:
1 - to set all-time Texas records, or
2 - a position change

Just a glorified fullback, really.

Hey, we get a B1G game today!  Just one of them though :(

Dukes Mayo Bowl
Noon, ESPN
Wisconsin v. Wake Forest

The mayonnaise bowl is coming at you, and I think these two teams should cover themselves in Dukes before playing. So, this game.  3-3 Wisconsin clearly did not have the season they wanted given how they started and their fancystat rating, which is 15th.  Wake Forest is not a fancystat darling at 59th, and also had a crappy season (3-4).  Wake has put up some points and given up some points - they have lost games where they scored 42 and 53 points.  Still, there is one exceptional unit in this game and it is Wisconsin's defense.  The question will be can they score some points to keep out of the fluky loss category that bit them this season.

Cotton Bowl
8 pm, ESPN
Oklahoma v. Florida

A great matchup per F+, with Oklahoma at 5 and Florida at 6.  Both teams can score, and Oklahoma has even messed around playing some defense this year, though Florida hasn't so much.  The biggest question mark is how will Florida look without their top three receivers, who have all skipped the game for the NFL.  If they can at least look the part, we should have a pretty fun game where both teams throw the ball and attack the quarterback.

Reading the Athletic and one idea they talked about was if the new stuff passes where players can get paid for using their likeness and whatnot, will bowl games start to pay star players as part of the bowl process, presumably to entice them to play in the bowl?

Not feeling too good about this game. I think the defense will be tested, and the offense again challenged. Too many kids are still out.

I normally don't root for teams in the West, but what the heck.  Go Badgers today!

Wake Forest has to be the lamest of all of the "P5 programs." Not specifically this year, but just overall in general.

Wake with few exceptions has been a lower level program, as has Duke, Vandy,, Eastern Michigan, Baylor, Kansas and KSU, etc.  And of course plenty that were high level back in the day are chumps now (including Vandy and Yale and Army).  Wake is a fairly small private school oddly enough not located in Wake Forest, NC, they moved a while back to Winston-Salem, which of course is famous for cigarettes.  W-S is a pretty nice town overall.  We used to drive there to go to a bar near WF campus.

Chapel Hill was really bar deficient.
