Is it typical for the Alamo bowl to host two teams whose rankings differ by such a large margin? No. 10 vs. unranked seems kinda weird for a post-season bowl.

 

[truly101]

That cartwheel looked like it hurt

 

[bucknuticus]

College qb rating is goofy anyways, can go all the way up to like 920 or something ridiculous. Such a stupid range

QB rating no matter what is a stupid stat.

 

[Kevtones]

Holy shit CRAZY that Texas guy stayed up!

It's that Texa$$ money. Easy to get their fans to travel to the Alamo Bowl and give a fond farewell to Mack, as well as see what them fancy-pants Ducks are all about, y'all. They're definitely in an undeservedly "high" bowl though.

I was wondering this.

BTW it's my first time tuning into a bowl game. So I'm not familiar at all with how it works.

 

[Kevtones]

Kind of a fun game. Brown is going face deep. Aliotti is going balls deep.


Can't wait to replace Aliotti. Ugh beans.

lol 1998 #4 ranked KST played unranked Purdue

 

[perfectchaos007]

Case with a solid drive? Wat?

 

[bucknuticus]

kinda glad i forgot to import my picks, would be in 33rd place right now. All though I only moved one team from points so still have a ton of possible points left.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Case McCoy is tiny; small framed at least. Sheesh

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

Hook em!

Case making a...case for the pro scouts?

Gosh, I feel dirty just jokingly saying that.

 

[timetokill]

Looks like Texas watched the Stanford game and realized Oregon's D-line is way undersized. The Texas line should be able to push them around all game. Bonus side effect: Keeps Oregon's offense off the field.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Go Tejas

 

[jakncoke]

lol at 2 people putting 35 on Texas

 

[Kevtones]

UT commits back to back personal foul calls on two consecutive plays no flags k.

Cant keep Drew Brees down

So I've heard OBC jr is interested in our OC job. I know the Spurriers have a great relationship with Duke and he's an alum but I'ma assume Cut has someone else in mind. We'll find out after our asskicking tomorrow night.

 

[truly101]

Knocked him out of his shoes. lol

 

[Balphon]

TE got clocked and stood right up.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Oh man, close call there

 

[rando14]

shiiiiiiet mariotta got lucky on that one

 

[Lonestar]

loljas

 

[Kevtones]

awesome play by that duck lineman to push the dude - save a turnover


and knee injury to Hamani fml

 

[Balphon]

Looking like a pretty nasty knee injury the way he was writhing around.

 

[Kevtones]

Oregon blows in the red-zone. Again.



OREGON MAY HAVE A COMPETENT KICKER?!

 

[Balphon]

Fuckin Mellon is sponsoring this bowl game? What the fuck for?

As soon as I realized that Northrup Grumman had a bowl game I stopped trying to make sense of bowl sponsorship, since there was clearly none to be found.

 

[Kevtones]

Fucking helmet rule.


Mariota is such a different player when healthy. God fuck this season sometimes.




Also, that was a penalty on Oregon there but Texas has been doing the same thing all game basically.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Our tight ends suck

Last year was #15 vs UNR, year before was #16 vs UNR, 2000 was #8 vs #19.

So its not completely unprecedented.

Edit: Beaten.

it's what happens when your QB runs for production. They get dinged up, and then they don't perform, and your offense suffers.

Also, running hurry up all game long leads to more injuries.[/Saban]

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Talking about what he's wearing underneath, freedom of movement is spoken, zoom in on crotch.

 

[truly101]

I feel like Texas is pretty much one big play from fuck it mode.

 

[Kevtones]

Great, Mariota's injured.

Yeah. But while it might've ended differently, I'm not so sure. Oregon needs to bulk up, they really have a hard time dealing with much bigger players blowing them up on the line, which is what was happening all game for them.

Still, it always sucks to have a crucial part of the offense get jammed up. We would've beat UCLA if fucking Booty hadn't played with a broken hand or whatever, instead we lost and were kept out of the MNC game that year. So I feel your pain.

Also, I'm moving to the Portland area in January, so I'm gonna be surrounded by Ducks fans If you have suggestions on cool places to go/eat in that area shoot 'em by me. Same for the rest of you Ducks in the area.

Hell yeah! What part?!

 

[Balphon]

Texas's punter is really good.

 

[Yaboosh]

So who is the idiot keeping Mariota in the game, Mariota or the coaching staff?

 

[Kevtones]

The fact Mariota wasn't invited to New York proves what a joke the award is.

 

[Yaboosh]

Mariota's still playing? What kind of injury did he get?

Seems like hamstring.

 

[Kevtones]

Man I don't realty like our coaching staff. Lets get Art Briles.

 

[Balphon]

For not calling on a hobbled QB to run the ball?

 

[Yaboosh]

For keeping a hobbled qb in an irrelevant game that you will win anyway.

Maybe. I didn't see the play where he got injured; what exactly happened?

 

[Yaboosh]

Maybe. I didn't see the play where he got injured; what exactly happened?

Don't know, just tuned in. But he is clearly hurting/limping. Looks like a stretched muscle or something.

I mean look at that shit. Dude just falls. Get his dumb ass out.

Yeah, after seeing that run I agree with you.

 

[Kevtones]

How is that not a face mask?!


That was literally insane.

 

[Yaboosh]

How is that not a face mask?!

He grabbed the helmet not the face mask. Is that still a face mask?

 

[timetokill]

"Palmed his helmet like a basketball"
:lol

Stunned there wasn't a flag there though.

 

[Kevtones]

He grabbed the helmet not the face mask. Is that still a face mask?

Considering the facemask at the top of the helmet is what was grabbed YEAH.

That was legitmately nuts.

 

[Kevtones]

Also, what doghouse is DAT in?
