Not in the winter
The only south in winter is Florida!

And Texas.

Southern Texas that is ...
San Antonio Bowl or Brownsville Bowl !

Does anyone watch the New Years Day games anymore if your team is not playing ?

With the Major bowl games getting spread out over the week not many major bowls are on NYD any more.
The Rose Bowl is on at 5 pm with Mighigan State and Stanford, that should be a sloberknocker ...
But thats the only NYD game I'm really interested in.

How about you guys ?

nope.

 

[Jimbo]

nope.

I remember when I was growing up, New Years Day was THE DAY for College Football, Must See TV day.

Sadly, the Bowl games have forced that too end.

 

[Mr Tony]

I posted this in the pub thread titled "the good old days" on xmas eve

The good old days

back when January 1st was the BIG day of college bowl games....all on local TV

ABC had Hall of Fame (now Capital One), the Rose and Sugar Bowl
CBS had Cotton Bowl
NBC had Gator, Fiesta and Orange Bowl

then the football season was done

And Texas. Southern Texas that is ... San Antonio Bowl or Brownsville Bowl !

Brownsville probably.
San Antonio not so much.
Talked to someone that moved there this fall. Pretty cold there too.
Alamo bowl was indoors. 72 degrees.

 

[osu1991]

They will be taking New Years Day back next year with the new "Playoff". The Orange, Chickfila, and Fiesta Bowls on New Years Eve and the Rose (Semifinal), Sugar (Semifinal) and Cotton Bowls on New Years Day and the title game 2 weeks later.

I just wish more of the games got off espn. I hate this having them one after another on a single channel. I cant change to a different game when 1 gets out of hand and I lose interest. I will flip around on the games tomorrow. Nebraska/Georgia, Wisconsin/South Carolina and LSU/Iowa could be interesting.

edit: actually looks like title game is 2 weeks later instead of 1

 

[tigerfan33]

I will certainly watch games tomorrow. Though not nearly as interesting as 15-20 years ago.

Off topic.

I still don't know how fans will be able to afford back to back trips next year with the playoff games. Semis and finals on neutral site. I really wish the semis would be on campus.

Brownsville probably.

Today Brownsville was only 48, but over the weekend it will be 73

DUKE 38

Manzell 17

At the HALF

 

[Jimbo]

Looks like the Houston Texans will pry Bill O Brian way from Penn State ....

Mr. O Brian, you did a fabulous job with the Penn State situation...

 

[tigerfan33]

The Penn St. situation hasn't hit yet.
Usually 2-3 years after probation when it hits.
He got out at the perfect time!

I really don't think it's gonna get any worse than it is now, unless they lose alot of players because of O Brian leaving now.

 

[Jimbo]

Well, the espn /Manzell LOVEFEST is in full force ....
I HATE it when announcers openly root and go gaga over the simpliest plays.

 

[Jimbo]

DUKE 38

Manzell 17

At the HALF

Dukes trading FG's for TD's and will probably lose this one because of that in the 2nd half.

Don't underestimate how awful the Aggie D is. They haven't let me down all year. And that sandlot crap Manziel does now, I don't see happening in the pros.

Well Duke just punched in a TD, back up by 10 with 6 something to go.

Now A& M has scored again, back to a 3 point game, another big Duke drive coming up ... they can't stop A&M in the 2nd half.

After watching Manzell tonight, his mechanics are TERRIBLE, throws off his back foot plenty of times ....
He'll struggle greatly in the Pros seeing he'll probably go with a low tier team ... (Browns, Jags).
