Yeah, that one sorta backfired.

All three teams are currently tied at zero wins for this decade, the 2020s.
Oh right, Fiesta was in December.

As another big ten season winds down I just want to say it's been a pleasure to enjoy everyone's company.
Same here.

Bearcats win.
Does Fickell get phone calls this off season?  They did pretty well.  Teams that fired their coach might be sniffing.

Friday

3:30 PM, ESPN
Famous Idaho Potato Bowl
Ohio v. Nevada

Bowl season just goes on into perpetuity.  They say bowl season was originally a reward for good teams.  A reward for these teams is to go to Idaho in January to play a game.  Go Bobcats.

I'm OK with more bowls generally, but this one is not of interest to me.  If I watch 5 minutes, I find myself dozing.  I was up at 5 AM, so it's even more probable.

It is foggy and rainy here, the wife has a doctor's appt and then wants to go to Costco.

It was certainly an exciting bowl season for the B1G. We ended up 4-5 but three of our five bowl losers (tOSU, UW, IU) held leads in the 4th quarter and six of the nine games were decided by one score.

On the positive side, we were a few plays from being 7-2 right now with the NC to play.

On the negative side we were a few plays from being 1-8 right now.

Even among the games that ended in lopsided scores the games mostly felt closer. Iowa beat USC by 25 despite being outgained. Illinois lost by 15 despite outgaining Cal, and Michigan had a lead at the half before being outscored 21-0 by Bama after the break.

The difference between 7-2 and 1-8 often is a few plays or ref calls in bowl season.

Welp, I’m 4th out of about 100 guys in my ESPN confidence pool.  If I win I don’t get anything for it but I find myself checking the standings after every game.  So I guess I’m pulling for Nevada.

Osborne and Pelini liked to point this out - post-game

Apparently he rebuffed multiple schools last year, including WVU, Maryland and Louisville.

I was actually watching the MSU basketball game, and thought Sam's post meant the game was over.

I randomly looked at the bowl lineup from 1989.  It was so much better.  18 bowls.  12 of them featuring ranked vs ranked teams which means they maxed out those kind of games.  This year, even with the upcoming LSU/Clemson game we will only have 9 of those games.

I think I prefer 12 of 18 bowls featuring ranked vs. ranked teams as opposed to 9 of 39 featuring ranked vs. ranked.

How many of the 18 bowls had to selected teams from conf A and conf B in a certain order?  seemed to me there was more flexibility in the 80's for bowl to select teams.
