GP1 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Might be nice to have a bowl thread this year to discuss any game anyone wishes to discuss. USC looked great and ready to play against a team that came to play as well in Fresno State. USC only has around 50 scholarship players and still has a lot of talent on the field. It shouldn't take that program long to get back in the national championship hunt. My favorite win of the day yesterday was watching Colorado State upset WA State for two reasons. First, WSU's qb ran his mouth after their first score and bumped a coach from CSU. People can think whatever they want about what the coach said to him, but the QB was being a complete douche. The coach showed remarkable restraint after the player bumped him. In hockey, the QB would have had to fight someone the next time he stepped on the field. Since there is nothing like that in football, CSU took some late hits on him and settled the issue and the game went on...point made. I always enjoy watching a-holes lose. Second reason...Listening to the game would have caused one to conclude WSU was winning by 100 and there would be no way CSU could possibly win because of the lack of talent. However, if you turned down the sound and just watched the game, CSU had some talent and they were well coached. The coaches were able to maximize their talent and by taking advantage of their opportunities won the game. Bonus reason for favorite win...Mike Leach is a turd and CSU's coach is a good guy. I like watching turds lose. Good things should happen to good people. Games yesterday, as a whole, were entertaining to watch IMO. The games were well played for bowl games, some trick plays, fans having fun, players were playing hard, etc. I hope we get more of the same over the next couple of weeks.

Captain Kangaroo Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 While not a "bowl," the Towson Tigers are in the 1-AA finals vs. NDSU. Former Zips RB coach Reno Ferri is the Tigers RB coach. Their running game features 4 backs who average 5+ yards/carry, including Terrance West, who set the 1-AA all time single season rushing yardage record this season.

UAZipster0305 Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Some good bowl games involving MAC teams today: Pitt vs. BUGS and Utah State vs. NIU. The lazy day after Christmas is a great date for the MAC's two best teams to be featured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balsy Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Some good bowl games involving MAC teams today: Pitt vs. BUGS and Utah State vs. NIU. The lazy day after Christmas is a great date for the MAC's two best teams to be featured. It'll be great to see Lynch's last game as a player in the MAC. He's been tearing us all up for long enough. I'll be watching Pitt, specifically the non-seniors, because we'll be seeing them next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 That kid is legit. Conner is going to be a load as well. Glad we're opening with Howard before dealing with Boyd, Conner, Cano, Hackenberg, etc. One thing's for sure. Die-hard Zip fans will certainly get to see some talented individuals next year on the opposing teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 MAC bowl performance is back to traditional standards. I don't take bowls too seriously because they are exhibition games, but the MAC teams aren't playing that bad. Pitt is a good program and Utah State has had a really good season and played some big programs close...they just aren't on TV much in the east so people don't know about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wished they changed the fact that we have returned to being bowl-losers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
