New Year’s Day bowl games

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Gimme:
LSU -9.5
Liberty +18
U37 in Iowa v. Tenn
Bama +2
Wash ML

Full disclosure: I actually ended up taking Wisconsin +9.5.

So with Tennessee not scoring just now I am 2-1.

We are to the meat and potatoes of bowl season finally!! What games are you looking forward to?

We got LSU/Wisconsin
Tennessee/Iowa
Liberty/Oregon
Bama/Michigan
Washington/Texas

I’d love to see Michigan and Washington win, but my brane tells me Bama and Texas are winning and we get a Bama/Texas rematch

Also, looking forward to Tennessee and Iowa despite my Vols missing a ton of players due to opt outs, transfers, and injuries. It’s Nico time, baby!

Those games with a huge amount of players who opt out or went into the transfer portal are lame.

Florida State was missing most of their players and it showed when they got stampeded all game long.

Only needed 22 yards, got 23.

You can if you draft jameson williams.

But he was an OSU WR failure. He needed to go to Alabama to be drafted.

 

[JoJoBoxer]

Dude can play, I just kinda want a taller WR to pair with DJ. Just being picky tho

Nabers and Coleman?

 

[JoJoBoxer]

It may not show branes playing in these games, but I do think it shows character. Cooper Beebe is the best guard in the draft, some say overall the best offensive lineman. He played in the friggin Pop Tarts Bowl. After the game, he said there was no way he was going to desert his teammates and had to finish what he started.

By the way, he lived through the game and if anything his stock only went up.

I believe he actually said, "No way I am going to skip dessert with my teammates". He also said that he, "had to finish what I started", referring to him and his teammates eating the giant Pop Tart that went to the winning team.

Nabers and Coleman?

MHJ or no one if you are keeping fields.

Iowa as a 10 win team is the biggest joke ever in CFB

I actually was shitting my pants on that one. I expected iowa to not score, took the under but tenn almost hit the over on their own.

Tennessee was the team with a ton of opt outs and transfers. They were down their starting QB, top 2 RB’s, 2 OLinemen, 3 of their starting secondary players, and a dominant DLineman

Yet, they came out and absolutely wrecked Iowa

Good teams have depth and actual good coaching on how to adjust with a month to prepare

LOL, I never meant to say that he was. I meant to say that the Bears draft both Nabers and Coleman (tall) to fill out the offense's WR room.

Sorry, for the misleading post.

But FSU had double what you had. They had one starting defensive lineman remaining, both top RBs gone, starting QB injured, backup QB in transfer portal and a host of other players missing too.

Congrats to Tennessee though.

Their real team would be 2 td favs over Iowa on a neutral field

 

[greg23]

Great conference

Sure, and I’m not suggesting FSU should have been able to beat Georgia.

But for fucks sake, could have kept it within at least 30 with decent coaching and preparation lol

 

[knoxville7]

Great conference

Maybe next year it will be with their additions
