I just noticed that UNC and UCONN are playing a game tomorrow in Boston . . . in football.  Can we just call this the "I wish this were a basketball game Bowl"?
Like if Duke played Kansas in the Aloha Bowl.

This USC QB might be having the worst game I've ever seen a QB have.  Totally inept.  Hooray, modern bowl games!!!  Backups and 3rd-stringers everywhere!!!

The Trojan WRs are exasperated.

Wow.  Very impressed by USC's tenacity.  Would have been very easy to give up, considering the QB play.  Everyone kept at it and they came back to win.  Good for them!

I watched parts of some bowl games yesterday and was impressed with the effort by mediocre teams out there.

That kid started their last three games. So this wasn’t about modern bowl games (!!!!). Just regular old college football.

Holiday Bowl last night. Good seats in the Syracuse section, surrounded by Orange diehards, boosters, season ticket holders, alums from as far back as the 70s, and former players. When the guy seated ahead of me realized that two and three rows back there were a number of former players, mostly from the 90s teams with NFL players like Donovan McNabb, Dwight Freeney, Rob Konrad, James Mungro, and Keith Bulluck, he turns around and starts shooting - "You Guys Are My Childhood! You Guys Were My Coming Of Age!"

Never guessed I'd hear someone shouting that about Syracuse Football?!

All in all, a good evening. The other types of fans you meet at Bowl games are more like us - able to recount a personal repertoire of games and players going decades back, and able to appreciate going to a live game for the sake of going to a live game, with plenty of adventures to tell of other games we've made destinations of.

Always stupid how a team who isn't trying all game (Boston College) suddenly cares too late, and ads to their frustration of caring too late, with un-heady penalties that make it that much more difficult to get back into a game they should've cared about at the beginning. The late hit(s) on Raiola cost BC any chance they had after napping for three quarters.

Also, the Pinstripe Bowl's (and Fenway's) winter look of muddied uniforms, icy breaths, and sunless skies are a welcome, seasonal change of sight:

I'm assuming he's worked for ESPN at some point, which is under the umbrella of ABC......which makes getting Michael Irvin's name wrong and the announcers just going with it especially bizarre.

Gave him a "Michael Irving" graphic.  
I guess the graphics guy is a youngin'.

I guess BC just didn't take advantage of the Husker's usual effort

BC and UNL
both teams seemed to care and fought hard at times
