I am quite proud of my Uconn Huskies today. Almost went flawless and kicked shit out of "The Old Ball Coach" and his Gamecocks.

I still can't believe a kid I played football with (he actually backed me up) now starts for UConn at guard. He was a year younger than me but still, I wasn't exactly an all state performer lol. Guess it pays to be 6'5 280 pounds when you are in high school, college teams are willing to take a gamble on it. He's really advanced a lot thanks to their weight training program, he's a beast now.

They are playing the Texas Tech/Michigan State game at the Alamo Dome, I didn't realize it was still around. I know the Spurs don't play there anymore - so what else do they use it for? The rodeo? Seems like there would be a lot of overhead associated with keeping a stadium open without a regular professional/college using it.

I see it's sponsored by Valero. Wrote a nice little case study about that company in one of my graduate management classes a few weeks ago. Dunno if sponsoring a bowl game is that great of a business move for them!

Bottom line is, you could have all the skill and ability in the world, but if you're not tall or big then 99% of the time the big clubs won't even look at you. Same with a guy a year below me in school, he always had an awesome boot on him but average in overall play. The Dragons have had him under their wing the past few years and made him into an all round great player with a hell of a physique, and he's on the verge of turning professional. |

From Texas Tech's administration, paraphrasing: "The person to blame for Mike's firing is Mike."

Yeah, it's not like ESPN was calling for his head, despite a BLATANT conflict of interest. Or that Texas Tech's administration was looking for a reason to fire him anyway.

A shame about Leach, but it is starting to sound like Leach was starting to become kind of a mess there himself. Hopefully he can find a new place, and I hope Texas Tech becomes a miserable program for the foreseeable future.
As far as Kelly, as they said during the game, it's a shame, but it's not his fault. If you are going to switch coaching jobs, especially in that situation, Notre Dame isn't willing to wait. You have to go. The announcers were saying something has to be done, and I think implementing a rule that you can't begin talking to other schools' coaches until after the bowls would be fair. |

Well I think the worst thing is hiring a new coach before Cincy even played in the bowl game. I would think it makes a bit weird for the players, since they 100% know for sure that the head coach for the bowl is only the head coach for that one game. I just think that would be a bit of an odd situation as a football player.

Well Cincy's interim coach went to Buffalo, so they knew he was only coach for a game anyway.

Does anybody know why the GMAC Bowl was the second to last? It really is embarrassing to the bowl system that something like that happens. I understand this year was different with New Years Day being a Friday and then having a whole weekend to spread the games out. But something really has to be done to put the good games back on New Years Day.

To be fair, since New Years Days its been pretty much the "good games," other than that one.
Its pretty lame that McCoy is out in this game. They aren't gonna make up 18 points. Also heard that the back judge in this game does local EMass high school football games on his "off" weekends. There's a (slim) chance he reffed one of my games that I either played in or have coached in. That's pretty cool I guess? |

That was an amazing onside kick by Texas. Almost never see the kicker try to deflect the kick from a defender (tough to do if defender is aware).

Alabama hasn't done anything in the 2nd half after it looked like they would run away with it. Pretty amazing game.

Yeah Texas defense is what's keeping them in the game since Bama's been a bit too bland with all the predictable running. You can tell for a while Bama just wanted to run out the clock or use their dominate running backs to end the game faster.

I dont think Texas has enough time for a TD but they could get in FG range.
It would be epic if this went OT. and just like that, Alabama's D shows back up and seals the deal. |

Well, another great season comes to an end, and it couldn't be a more fitting one for 'Bama, and their legendary coach, Nick Saban, who on this night became the only man to coach 2 separate teams (who was the other? LSU?) to National Championships in Division I college football.
My hat is off to you, Mr. Saban. Kudos on a great year! |

I didn't realize the SEC was 6-0 in BCS title games and is the only conference with a winning record in BCS title games. I think they also have had more different teams make it than any other conference (Tennessee, LSU, Florida, Alabama). That's pretty stunning.

South Florida fires Jim Levitt for allegedly grabbing a player by the throat and smacking him in the face.

I've also read that 2 of the last 4 SEC Title Games were more closer than the National Title Games.
