Tbe cure bowl is pure sicko football and I love it

[–] ToasterOverlord 9 points 11 months ago

Final fumble count: 13

What a game

[–] ToasterOverlord 6 points 11 months ago

Lmao, muffed PAT and a brawl, what is this game

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

"More moves than a military family"

RG3 is a treasure

Just tuning in now, good Lord this weather is atrocious.

Thanks for creating this post, btw. I tried to make a gameday thread before I went out this morning but it didn't go through in the browser. Wonder if the new Lemmy update is causing that glitch

Edit: woops, wrong account. It's so easy to get mixed up on mobile. Aaand it won't let me switch so I guess I'll be posting from here

These are not the A list announcers on the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl 😕

[–] ToasterOverlord 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Boca Raton Bowl:

The officiating in this game is, uh, not good. Both teams kinda getting hosed

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah unfortunately the orange team can't seem to overcome it. Fortunately the former vols coach is certainly nailing this bowl

[–] orangeNgreen@fanaticus.social 5 points 10 months ago

After all of the signing day excitement, it’s back to reality with the Miami Hurricanes. Abysmal start against Rutgers.

[–] Manibusan@fanaticus.social 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

What a Gator Bowl..good game Kentucky! Proud of my Tigers. Good luck to everyone else on their bowl games!

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Thanks for beating those blue bastards!

[–] orangeNgreen@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Glad at least one ACC team took care of business!

[–] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

FSU you're killing me!

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

The Arizona Bowl is so hard to watch. The barstool guys are awful commentators. This might be worse than the NBC crew that called the Notre Dame/USC game

Edit: after a few more excruciating minutes, I have decided this is by far the worst football "commentary" I have ever heard in my life

Cotton Bowl: rooting for the block M team to beat an OSU!

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 10 months ago

Oh man, I really wanted the thicker kicker to be able to get that 65 yarder before half. How do you allow a delay of game?!

Maryland just taking Auburn to the woodshed early in the Music City Bowl. They know it's December, right? Crabbing season is over, they have no business being this scary this time of year

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Texas Bowl: Really not how the aggies wanted to start, wishing for a speedy recovery in the offseason

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Ah, I was just about to get excited about the early pick in the Peach Bowl but that's a bummer it grazed the turf

Overtime in the New Orleans Bowl!

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 10 months ago

Holy cow, Memphis is beating the brakes off ISU in the Liberty Bowl. It's the home field advantage!!

[–] ToasterOverlord 3 points 11 months ago

I missed the kickoff of the Independence Bowl and am bummed I missed Cal scoring. Hopefully there's lots of points and the Red Raiders lose (I probably won't be staying up for the end of this one)

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 10 months ago

Even though they're down, Brock Glenn is looking decent in the Orange Bowl (or maybe Georigia's DBs just aren't as good as the rest of their defense)

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (4 children)

The Famous Toastery Bowl is a prime example of how sponsoring a bowl is ineffective marketing. I don't even know what a Toastery even is, much less a famous one. And I know, 99% of marketing is just implanting a brand in your head so when you're staring at a shelf full of different brands you'll go with the one you recognize. But again, I don't even know where to look on a shelf for famous toastery, though I assume bread isle? (I already have a preferred bread brand btw)

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 11 months ago

I'm kind of disappointed I missed this one, but honestly how many people can watch a weekday bowl game at 2pm?

So I'll just pretend I was boycotting it as an unworthy substitute for the Bahamas Bowl

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Somebody hit the button at bww

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It's turned into a ballgame!

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

2 blocked kicks in one game, what a time to be alive

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Frisco Bowl:

Oof no Frank Harris? Man, I swear if UTSA loses this after I sat through a 2OT Michigan basketball loss to miss the first quarter of this, I will be quite irate I didn't just go to bed

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 11 months ago

Finally some signs of life in the 2nd quarter. But really, UTSA had only 20 yards of offense in the 1st quarter? That is some B1G West shit

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The Alamobowl is off to an amazing start!

Fifita living up to all the hype I heard about him all season

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't know how I feel about the Pop Tarts mascot. It's silly and fun, but they're going to eat it at the end? Reminds me of King Cheez-It last year or when Duke's announced the mayo bath a few years back. I guess we'll see if it's endearing or creepy when it happens

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 10 months ago

Ah, bummer for K-State to get the punt return TD called off for a block in the back.

I feel like that happens way too often. If you're on return coverage, don't get too eager with blocking since the penalty can almost reverse momentum

[–] ToasterOverlord 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

LA Bowl: the only Boise player that has attempted a pass going into this game is the punter?! That's a crazy factoid

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Was watching the fcs semis, did they actually show that stat?

[–] ToasterOverlord 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Lol, yes.

I haven't been following FCS (other than hearing the NDSU coach bailed on his team for USC during their playoff run). How are things going there?

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Well we just had a thrilling double ot finish so I'd say as good as you could hope. I just wonder how fcs in general feels no that the bowls are also a championship tournament.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Military Bowl: I saw that pantone 151c mixed in with all the virgina orange. GBO brother

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Duke's Mayo Bowl:

May the superior Coach Brown win! I will be very disappointed if we don't see Mack get the mayo bath at the end

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 10 months ago

Oh, UNC has a guard playing center? That explains the weird high snap earlier. Might see some more of that tonight... at least the freshman QB looks decent

[–] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 2 points 11 months ago

Gasparilla Bowl is tied at half time!

I'll be honest, I thought UCF was going to run away with this one. But also, I thought UCF's kicker was a lot more clutch than I guess he has been lately? Can't believe he missed the 30 yarder just before half.

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Watching the 68 ventures bowl, what the fuck was that last series of the first half? That was just atrocious and painful to watch

[–] 1hitsong@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago (4 children)

This GA FSU game is making me sick.

So weird to see LSU wearing purple in the Reliaquest Bowl.

Also, no bloomin' onion or coconut shrimp on the line in this game -- a travesty. Bring back Outback Steakhouse as the sponsor!

I don't think I've ever seen a less attended NY6 game than this Fiesta Bowl. And from the broadcast it seems there's more Liberty fans than UO fans there
