    I’ve watched a lot more Holiday Baking Championship this year than I have college football. So when I was at lunch earlier, and they had the peach bowl on, it took me a second to remember that he does cfb too.

        I have also been asking for close games, and now realize I have jinxed myself. I agree about no one being left out though

        Exactly. There’s never been twelve teams I thought deserved a chance to play for a title, but there’s been 5-7 before. 12 makes sure those teams always make it and keeps more teams (and fans) interested later in the regular season. The initial BCS 1v2 game marked the fatal cut to the old bowl system; it just took time to bleed out.

    Peach Bowl

    Of course we extend ASU’s opening drive with multiple penalties…

      Incredible punt return by Bolden!

      I feel kinda bad it might already be a blowout, but hey, I didn’t seed the playoffs

      Texas’ O-line outweighs Arizona State’s D-line by average of 60 lbs each. Ouch LMAO. Longhorns should just run every freakin down.

      I give Sark credit for building the lines. Usually these offensive wizards focus on the skill positions and their strengths aren’t in building top O-line and D-line (Riley!). He started off right and was prepared for SEC ball while the rest of big12 stayed small.

      So “no one” can stop Skattebo, huh? Maybe he should have looked up our tape and seen the two goal line stands we got in the last three games so that he wouldn’t get stuffed himself on a goal line stand

        I feel like the last few minutes of the 4th quarter and the overtimes took years off my life. I was so sure we would choke it all away

      That was the most obvious fake punt I’ve seen in a while. I can’t believe we fell for it…

      I will admit that while the outcomes have been relatively predictable thus far in bowl season, the exact scoring methodology has been fun I guess

      A State’s QB is a pretty good scrambler. He might have potential. Transfer to a big school! lol

    How the F did ASU take Texas to OT??? I stopped watching 1st quarter thinking it’s going to be a blow out.

    What songs are the bands playing at the Rose Bowl? It vaguely reminds me of video game boss music, which I am thrilled about! But I can’t name any of the games

    Edit: so one of the songs is red’s theme from pokemon silver. Epic boss music choice
