Random Football Thoughts and Wonderings

Uhh...the BORE - ange Bowl

Umm...Iowa bested Georgia Tech. The game wasn't as close as the score indicated. Is the Big Ten back? That's 4-3 in bowl games this year with two BCS wins.

Iowa won the game but what is up with the fake field goal call by Kirk Ferentz? Where are all these coaches getting these balls of steel from?

Bill Belichick opened the flood gates for weird ass calls when he pulled that shit in Indianapolis earlier this season.

Jim Zorn's wild ass call on Monday Night Football, Jim Caldwell, and most recently Kirk Ferentz's crazy call have been many of odd decisions by coaches this season. Pretty soon we won't have any more punters and kickers the way these daredevils play.

GMAC = BCS?

Why was the GMAC Bowl played the day before the National Championship game? It's like going to see a movie you've been waiting a long time to see and the movie trailer is a live abortion video.

You've paid your $9.25 for the movie ticket, you decided to splurge the $20 at the concession for you and your lady friend since this is a big-time flick, so walking out just because of a God-awful trailer isn't going to make you leave. Your mood will be definitely killed though.

This is how I felt last night watching Troy vs. Central Michigan. I mean it didn't get good until about midway through the third quarter.

That's like a movie not getting good until you've already made it up in your mind that it sucks. I mean for all those that watched, couldn't you tell? The announcers couldn't stop talking about the game that they wished they'd be calling tomorrow.

I just don't get it. Why play these games so late? You know good and well that the GMAC bowl was not going to contain any top 25 teams. So why is this game played so late?

I mean is this the reason why we preserve our bowl system for these precious GMAC bowl games to played right before the biggest bowl game of the year? A game that literally no one cared about and that included the people announcing and the network showing it.

That's all I got,
