Good matchup.The Cocks play the Wolverines in Tampa in the Outback Bowl. Cool. Good matchup.If you see O'Korn on the back of the opposing QB's jersey, you can count on a win if you can score 10 points. Isn't that where Clowney blew up the Michigan back?

Good matchup.If you see O'Korn on the back of the opposing QB's jersey, you can count on a win if you can score 10 points. Isn't that where Clowney blew up the Michigan back? Ah, nostalgia: That was the middle play in a 3 play dramatic series. The play before, Michigan had lined up to punt on a 4th down, faked the punt, tried to run it for a first down, came down near the marker. The chain was extended, and Michigan appeared short. A ref signaled first down anyway. Spurrier, the team,and much of the stadium went berserk in disbelief. I did the same while watching that incredibly bogus first down call on TV. Even the announcers were saying they could not believe the call of first down. Anyway, it was the call. That was the context for the very next play, with Michigan on first down getting blown up by Clowney as in the video. The next play, Spurrier called for a long pass into the end zone, and it worked. TD SC, to take the lead. A glorious series of plays in SC football history. Edited December 4, 2017 by Dread Pirate Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordgalaxy Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I hear what you're saying, and I despise the Patriots as much as anyone, but the rule says that during a catch, the ball must remain in control at all times including going to the ground. If it was a running play, it would have been a TD once it crossed the goal line no matter what happened afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 These early bowl names are so much fun. Tonight's battle is the "Cheribundi Tart Cherry Boca Raton Bowl". One can only hope that means later in the bowl season there is a Sweet Cherry Bowl of some sort. The game features Akron and Florida Atlantic. The main source of suspense is picking the quarter n which Lane Kiffin will take another job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Pretty bad day for bowls, Ohio destroys UAB in the Bahamas Bowl before a tiny crowd, then Wyoming jumps out to a big lead at halftime of the Potato Bowl over the Central Michigan Chippewas. At least Josh Allen, the QB for Wyoming is looking good for John Elway and other scouts from the No Reasonable Interpretation or Definition of a Catch League.

Not until after Christmas do the real bowl games start The best conference in the country -- the SEC of course -- doesn't even play until the 27th, when Missouri is going to stomp Texas. Yeah, some trash talk ;) Every year, it seems fashionable to talk about how down the SEC supposedly is, yet then the SEC tends to go out and rack up a really good bowl record. We shall see ;) Edited December 24, 2017 by Dread Pirate Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
