CFB Bowl Game Thread (non-playoff games)

[Midnighter]

Can we put to bed the illusion that Alabama should have gotten a playoff spot now?

How long before Herbie has a breakdown?

 

[Keyser Soze 16802]

Bielema has no class

 

[LionJim]

Would be interesting if SC and Ole Miss both lose their bowl games since they, along with Bama, were supposedly better than most of the 12 teams to make the CFP, according to Paul F and others.

I’ll cry for them regardless.

It won't surprise me if there isn't a brawl after the end of the USCar vs Illinois game. Players have become as chippy as their coaches.

Wow, a hell of a miss. Bad placement.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Wow, a hell of a miss. Bad placement.

Yeah, even a moderately accurate throw in the endzone on 4th down would have been a TD for USCe. Instead, the Illini take over on downs.

 

[LionJim]

Big hole on third down.

 

[LionJim]

The announcers going hard against Coach Bret. “Should have been a taunting penalty.”

 

[LionJim]

Keep an eye out for the post game handshake.

 

[PSU Mike]

“When we needed one on a coach.” WTF?

 

[Grant Green]

I've been watching 2-3 games at once. What was Bielema doing with the subbing ploy? And what was the taunt all about?
Not sure which coach is more unlikable in this game.

 

[Catch1lion]

Sorry Excuses Coming . 21-17

 

[BobPSU92]

I-L-L! … I-N-I!

I‘m such an a$$hole.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Down goes another SEC team that should've been in the CFP! LOL!

Looked away myself. The handshake was a nothing burger.

We missed it because it happened in the third quarter.

When USCe was on offense and subbed, Ill would sub very very late and the play clock would be short when the refs allowed the snap. USCe had to use a TO to avoid the delay of game....
Then while an Ill player was injured along the USCe sideline, Beilema walked over to check on him with his hands out like the refs do to signal a substitution and did the same as he walked back to his own sideline. Beemer blew up at that.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Bielema has no class

Well he has 60% of class…..***!

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

Bielema has no class

Happy for Illinois and the BIG1o for the bowl win, but still wish that Bielema would drown in a tub full of inebriated killer whales and electric toasters thrown in for good measure

 

[WVilleLion23]

LSU should be destroying Baylor. Except they are not that good.

 

[rudedude]

 

[rudedude]

 

[LionJim]

Yeah, nailed it.

 

[LB99]

Bielma is jackazz. With that said, I’m glad Illinois won.

 

[BeerLion]

Well I guess I have not been paying attention. I just came to the realization that the only games on tomorrow are the three playoff games. This bums me out. I really enjoy flipping through multiple games on New Years day. sign

 

[psuro]

Engineer.

Nerd.

Why risk the killer whales being electrocuted?

 

[LionsAndBears]

I dislike Bielema as much as anyone but his Jedi mind trick on Beamer yesterday was classic! Beamer took the bait and Illinois took the Win.

Fixed

Sorry but Arizona State got robbed of a potential game winning FG in regulation by this non call. Targeting all day long IMO

 

[BobPSU92]

Just underway on ESPN:

TaxSlayer Gator Bowl: Duke vs. 14 Ole Miss

 

[Grant Green]

That was maybe the worst trick play execution I've ever seen from Ole Miss.

Oh, and Manny's beard is now rivaling his hair.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Geez. My youtubeTV feed is about 1 minute behind whatever you all are watching.

Big Ten officiating crew. Targeting only gets called against PSU.

You have the best handle on this website!

 

[MtNittany]

Ole Miss beats teams w/ out their good players in bowl games and thumps their chest about it.

The Duke backup QB is pretty bad.

 

[razpsu]

Ole
Miss still has their starters in now 45-7. Duke doesn’t have their starting qb this game as well as others.

 

[WVilleLion23]

Anyone else not surprised that Kiffin acted like a whiner in his post game by acting like they destroyed a good Duke Team and hopes the Conmittee took note.

Dude, Duke was starting a QB that had thrown 4 passes all season after starting QB hit transfer portal.
