College Football is over. The NFL season will soon be over and I'll be in tears having to watch meaningless basketball and endless baseball. Can't cry over spilt milk so lets give a quick run down of the bowls.
Eagle Bank Bowl
Wake Forest 29 vs. Navy 19
The Midshipmen are going to back to form when Paul Johnson left to Georgia Tech, which means a lot of losses. If Wake Forest basketball keeps going down hill, this will no longer be a basketball school.
New Mexico Bowl
Colorado State 40 vs. Fresno State 35
It was the Bulldogs' game to win, but they didn't take the Rams serious. I still respect Pat Hill's play you anytime anywhere approach.
Magic Jack St. Petersburg Bowl
Memphis 14 vs. South Florida 41
Matt Grothe went out on a win. I doubt if he'll star in the league. But USF, UCF, and FAU will all start making noise in the near future. There is too much talent in Florida for these teams not to excel.
Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl
Arizona 31 vs. BYU 21
BYU started off so hot. If people show you who they are believe them. Say the same thing about Mike Stoops. Mike is a fighter, on the cusp of being fired this season to not only take the Wildcat to their first bowl in several seasons but to win it over a good BYU team. About time a Stoops won a bowl.
R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl
Southern Miss 30 vs. Troy 27
I didn't even watch this game. I'm not going to lie about it. But when is Southern Miss going to make the leap to powerhouse, they've played the "respectable spoiler role" for way to long.
San Diego Credit Union Poinsetta Bowl
Boise State 16 vs. TCU 17
The Non-BCS championship was a good game. TCU fought, scratched and willed their way to a one point win. Can we get a Non-BCS team ranked in the Top 12 for next season please. Come on dogg, they deserve it.
Sheraton Hawaii Bowl
Notre Dame 49 vs. Hawaii 21
Notre Dame finally wins a bowl game in 9 years. They are lucky they didn't play last year's Hawaii team. Weis is still on the hot seat, and Jimmy C is still overrated.
Motor City Bowl
Florida Atlantic 24 vs. Central Michigan 21
As I stated earlier. FAU, USF, and UCF will soon make national noise, USF and UCF have done so in previous seasons, but I'm talking with consistency.
Meineke Car Care Bowl
West Virginia 31 UNC 30
It was UNC's game to win, and they gave it away to WVU. Pat White went out on a win. Butch Davis is a poor man's Pete Carroll. Look for the Tar Heels to get back to those Mack Brown days.
Champs Sports Bowl
Wisconsin 13 vs. FSU 42
Bobby Bowden still has his mojo, but Wisconsin fell off big time. They still had P.J. Hill and did more than underacheive this season.
Emerald Bowl
Miami 17 vs. California 24
It was the Jacory Harris and Jahvid Best show. The Best man won.
Independence Bowl
Northen Illinois 10 vs. LA Tech 17
The most boring game of the entire bowl season.
NC State 23 vs. Rutgers 29
Russell Wilson was the best true freshman quarterback no one talked about all year long. I hope he didn't get hurt too bad, because baseball season is coming. Oh yah, he is a two sport stud for the Wolfpack. It was nice to see Tiquan Underwood and Mike Teel go out on a win.
Valero Alamo Bowl
Mizzou 30 vs. Northwestern 23
What happened to Chase Daniel? They won, but it is not the same Chase. Also say goodbye to J-Mac as he dips to the league next season.
Humanitarian Bowl
Maryland 42 vs. Nevada 35
Maryland RB Da'Rel Scott was benched 2.5 quarters for missing curfew. You'd think he'd be a tad bit rusty when he got in the game. Nope, 174 yards on 14 carries and 2 touchdowns. Hell of a way to get out of the dog house.
Texas Bowl
Western Michigan 14 vs. Rice 38
Chase Clement to Jarrett Dillard vs. Western Michigan, nuff said.
Pacific Life Holiday Bowl
Oregon 42 vs. Oklahoma State 31
The beginning of the demise of the Big 12 in the 2008-2009 bowl season. The Pokes were up 17-7 after the first half. They flat out got out muscled.
Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl
Houston 34 vs. Air Force 28
Kevin Sumlin ended Houston's bowl win drought since 1980. Black head coach ladies and gentleman. Take notice please.
Sun Bowl
Oregon St. 3 vs. Pittsburgh 0
The most boring game of the bowl season. I felt like I was watching a soccer game. It was probably because Jacquizz or James Rodgers played in the game because both were out with shoulder industries.
Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl
Boston College 14 vs. Vanderbilt 16
Vanderbilt wins it's first bowl game in 53 years.
Insight Bowl
Kansas 42 vs. Minnesota 21
KU wideout Desmond Briscoe is the next big thing. 14 grabs 201 yards and 3tds.
Chick-Fil-A Bowl
LSU 38 vs. GA Tech 3
I'm 26 and my little brother is 12. No matter how hard he tries he'll never beat me in a game of one on one basketball. I'm bigger, stronger, and faster. LSU has better athletes point blank.
Outback Bowl
South Carolina 10 vs. Iowa 31
When the Ol' Ball coach first arrived at USC it was said once he got the recruits, he'd be back. We'll he has had the recruits for a while now and is still losing.
Capital One Bowl
Georgia 24 vs. MSU 12
Another story of the Big 10 being defeated by the SEC in a bowl game. Adios to Knoshown and Mr. Stafford.
Gator Bowl
Nebraska 26 vs. Clemson 21
Aside from the Sooners, Clemson has been one of the most disappointing teams this season. Roy Helu was injured much of the game, but look out for him next season, he's the best RB you've never heard of.
Rose Bowl
Penn St. 24 vs. USC 38
I mean, did anyone really think Penn St. would win. Is USC tailback U or quarterback U, Palmer, Leinhart, Booty, and Sanchez. Sanchez threw for 413 yards and 4 tds.
FedEx Orange Bowl
Cincinnati 7 vs. VA Tech 20
Good old fashioned Beamer ball. VA Tech's vitals: 258 rushing yards, 39 minutes time of possession, and 4 takeaways. Having Macho Harris on your team doesn't hurt either.
Cotton Bowl
Ole Miss 47 vs. Texas Tech 34
Ole Miss always had the athletes, now they have the coach in Houston Nutt and the QB in Jevan Snead. You saw them beat LSU 31-13 this year.
Autozone Liberty Zone
Kentucky 25 vs. East Carolina 19
ECUs 2008 season should be a ride at Six Flags.
Sugar Bowl
Utah 31 vs. Alabama 17
The only undefeated team in the FBS.
International Bowl
Uconn 38 vs. Buffalo 20
I was rooting for Buffalo or maybe their coach Turner Gill, either way, I didn't get what I wanted, but Uconn deserved to win.
Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
Ohio State 21 vs. Texas 24
Ohio State lost this game. Texas didn't win it. My question is why wait until the end of the season to run a two man quarterback system. Todd Boeckman proved he couldn't cut it in last year's bowl game and the beginning of this season. Terrelle Pryor outplayed him so why was Boeckman rewarded. Also, why in the world would you run a zero coverage blitz at the end of the game on your own 26 yard line?
GMAC Bowl
Ball State 13 vs. Tulsa 45
Total domination from the coaches to the players. Ball State QB Nate Davis might want to stay in college.
BCS National Championship Game
OU 14 vs. Florida 24
Why doesn't Bob Stoops eat cereal, because he always loses the bowls. He was out-coached for the third season in a row in a BCS bowl game. Coming into the game OU was 76/80 in the red zone. The Sooners went 2/4 in the red zone, and that proved to be the difference in the game.
