— Dave in Texas Commenter logprof suggested this in the open NFL thread below, and I like good suggestions. BCS Announcements tonight, I'll give you a rundown against my predictions, which were predictably predictable and stuff.
Dave's BS leads, actual results follow.
Dave's BS: Tostitos Fiesta Bowl: Iowa vs. Boise State. Don't miss the halftime knitting extravaganza. Either Iowa or BS wins by 3, who cares cause you won't be watching it.
THE WORD: Nope. Boise State vs. TCU. This might be the best game of the year. FrankJ noted this is a repeat of last year's Poinsettia Bowl, TCU won it by a point, 17-16. Also, that's the lamest name for a bowl since the old Bluebonnet here in Texas.
Dave's BS: Allstate Sugar Bowl: Cincinnati will meet up with Florida, and take em by a touchdown. Which will suck, beating the team ranked one all season long, and placing 3rd.
THE WORD: Ok, yep. Note my brilliant call on Florida.
Dave's BS: Fedex Orange: Ga. Tech vs. TCU. I gotta say about TCU, wow, for a school with "Christian" in the name, whose mascot is a lizard that fire ants damn near killed off in Texas, ok I forget where I was going, but helluva season for the Horned Frogs. This is the one team I really didn't want Texas to play, no glory in whippin them (per se), but hella shame to lose to em. Horny Frogs by 12 over the Wreck.
THE WORD: Substitute in Iowa for TCU. Another good game I think.
Dave's BS: Citi BCS: Alabama vs. Texas for the National Championship. True story, couple of years after we moved to Texas (from Alabama) my dad (Auburn grad) took me to the Cotton Bowl to watch Texas beat Alabama 17-13. I was the only kid on our side of the field with pimples and an Alabama pennant. Not this year. Texas by 13.
THE WORD: Yep. Alabama meets Texas again in the title game in Pasadena. Texas better figure out some stuff between now and then. I have never seen Mack Brown look as confused as he did last night. Outcoached from the first kick. Right now I'd say Alabama by 14.
I'm mostly right. I'm like a BCS computer, with hair.
UPDATE: HAH! Comparisons in the comments.
92
Texas: Champ Kind
Alabama: Dorothy Mantooth

Texas vs. Alabama in the title game. 'Bama is gonna rape Texas. Colt McCoy better get the Astroglide ready.
Posted by: Blazer at December 06, 2009 04:17 PM (+FzLa)
As I mentioned in the NFL thread, TCU and BSU both got screwed. None of the BCS conference schools have to worry about either of those two teams beating them and shaking things up. Instead they'll just cannibalize each ither and the mid-majors will be a cumulative 1-1 guaranteed.

Actually I'm a VT fan. Just callin' it like I see it as a sports fan. If McCoy let the Huskers slap him around like a little bitch just what the hell do you think Alabama will do to his ass ?
Posted by: Blazer at December 06, 2009 04:28 PM (+FzLa)
The wife is moderately happy about Boise State's lot. Should be a rollicking game.
I say Alabama over the Big 12 runner up in a runaway.
Posted by: Big Fat Meanie at December 06, 2009 04:28 PM (DPM1U)
Still, they could wind up with three undefeated, untied teams when the dust settles.

Anyone care to wager? It could defray some Vegas costs.

I'll bet you bet on the Cowboys today too. better save that money, especially in this economy.

I wonder if anyone had a prop bet on Brandon Jacobs rumbling 70 yards. Dude looked like a sasquatch commercial.

Those cocksuckers really fucked us with denying TCU & Boise State the chance to embarrass one of the "big-time" programs. The BCS can all go die in a fire. I'm considering boycotting the whole fucking thing.
Posted by: Captain Hate at December 06, 2009 04:42 PM (2Uu3I)
Ah ha ha ha... USC playing in the Emerald Nuts Bowl against... Boston College???
How the mighty have fallen!
And boy oh boy, did I want to see Nebraska win last night. They certainly played the better game, and I would love to see a mid-major conference take the BCS Championship.
I'll be rooting for Georgia Tech (flexbone?? in the BCS?! Sweet) and probably Bama, Florida (eh... boring, but good) and a good game in the last one.
Did anyone hear about any legislation in Congress about the BCS? I heard the very end of a snippet about it on the radio, but I don't know if I heard it right.

I hope the Big 12 wins the national title, but I doubt that Texas will beat Alabama. Nebraska and Suh stole McCoy's Heisman, and it should go to Suh.

Oh no you heard it right. I would almost agree with it, if it weren't for the fact that it would divert attention away from the other travesties taking place like government run healthcare and Tax & Cap.

I think you guys are getting a little too excited about the analogies for UT-Bama here. It's like
Morons = Charles Nelson Reilly
Analogies = Front-row tickets to the Ice Capades

Alabama = Florida in 2008
The Big 12 = The SEC's new bitch (a position formerly held by the Big 10).
That needed to be said. I went to undergrad at LSU and my daughter went to UF, so I hate Alabama. I went to grad school at Texas A&M, so I hate Texas. It's been a bad year so far.
But not as bad as it's going to be for Texas.

Blain/Alambama to the SEC: Bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here. This stuff will make you a goddamned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me.
Poncho/Texas: [holds up grenade launcher] Yeah, strap this on your "sore ass," Blain.

Any Husker fans here read the Omaha World-Herald today? Looks like Bo and Carl Pellini came unglued after the game. Real ugly shit. I don't blame them, and at least they didn't do it in front of a camera, but it ain't good to act like that.
Texas: Abraham Lincoln
Alabama: John Wilkes Booth

Hey, I've got an idea: why don't we just have the most experienced coaches and journalists vote on which team is #1? Like the Oscars, or the Nobel!
Betcha that's what Congress endorses. Plus, watch for that flag Armstrong planted on Mars!

I love it when the government gets involved in the entertainment industry.
Gotta keep those sheep in front of the television sets at all times. After all, if you're not watching sports or television programs on a regular basis, you might start paying attention to what's going on in this country. Can't have that.

Which is bizarre. They usually hate football. All that merit-based outcome. And cheerleaders. And Title IX.

--Yeah, and for the lst few years of its existence the Peach was sponsored mainly by Chick-Fil-A. It and the Cotton are the two best second-tier bowls, although the Cotton has slipped behind. Now that they have that swank new stadium out there, though. . . .
