This Is It!
(unless it is not)

 


 

Name That Directional Over/Under

12.20.2009. New Orleans Bowl.
Southern Miss - Middle Tennessee State

Final Score: 32 - 42.

Tom - Since I have more drug dealers than bookies on speed dial, I'll have to go with a guess. Directional Miss will win over Locational Tennessee State. The O/U being 50.

Kevin - Team that beat Maryland over team that beat the Hoos and keep it at 70 total. Bona fide Experto!

Jay - could not participate this week.

Vip - 44.

Ivan - 57.

Paul - 47.

Curmudgeon - University of Bret Farve, er I mean Southern Miss. 47.

John - 54.

Jim - The bowl of the year. 55 scored.

 

 

Pick The Winner

12.26.2009. Meineke Bowl.
North Carolina - Pittsburgh

Final Score: 17 - 19.

Tom - Once again I'll go with the conference and lose another. Heels. NOT an Expert.

Kevin - Next to algroh, I and the VT secondary will miss Mike Paulus next year too. Speaking of, "Miss it, Deon". Pitt still loses. NOT an Expert.

Jay - could not participate this week.

Vip - These two teams have been to Charlotte so often, they could claim home field advantage. Pitt(sburgh) wins 34-21.

Ivan - Pitt.

Paul - Pitt[sburgh].

Curmudgeon - Pitt.

John - Pittsburgh Let's see, Pitt lost to NCS, so UNC should git 'er done in Charlotte. NOT an Expert.

Jim - Plenty of good seats for the Heels. Carolina wins. NOT an Expert.

 

 

12.26.2009. Emerald Bowl.
Boston College - USC

Final Score: 13 - 24

Tom - Have to pick against the conference here. They will be lucky to finish this game before the stadium falls into the bay under the weight of all the BC fans. Men of Latex.

Kevin - What a way to end this bowl tie-in with Men of Troy thrashing Boys of Fredo.

Jay - could not participate this week.

Vip - No, no home field advantage here. No siree. USC-West wins 48-14.

Ivan - tRomans.

Paul - Fightin' Fredos travel west again with their handful of fans and come home empty handed as the Trojans lay the rubber to them.

Curmudgeon - USC.

John - California dreaming at the Nut bowl. USC.

Jim - So much for that ACC sweep. Trojans win.

 

 

12.27.2009. Music City Bowl.
Clemson - Kentucky

Final Score: 21 - 13

Tom - Ouch! ACC vs. SEC. This will probably turn out badly. Tigers .

Kevin - Redneck Bowl, take 2. Clem wins this time.

Jay - could not participate this week.

Vip - Isn't Kentucky in this bowl every flippin' year? Clem wins, 28-20.

Ivan - Clemson.

Paul - Clem & his son.

Curmudgeon - Clemson.

John - Clem should prevail, but who knows?.

Jim - An ACC sweep? Doubtful, but why not. Clem wins.

 

 

12.29.2009. Champs Sports Bowl.
Miami - Wisconsin

Final Score: ... - ...

Tom - The only way the Canes lose this is if they are intimidated by the stadium slam full of Wisconsin fans. Canes.

Kevin - After seeing ESPN's latest "30 for 30" offering, I'm surprised the Canes didn't get the death penalty and a few of their club happy players are still among the living. Lock up Minnie for this one. Canes add another post-1991 footnote to the closing credits.

Jay - could not participate this week.

Vip - Miami wins the "Consolation Bowl," 30-17.

Ivan - Canes.

Paul - Miami.

Curmudgeon - Miami.

John - scUM.

Jim - What happened to those days when the Canes were Back? Oh, that's right, the U. Canes win.

 

 

12.31.2009. Chick-fil-A Bowl.
Virginia Tech - Tennessee

Final Score: ... - ...

Tom - It's all about focus and it's great to see neither team has any off-the-field distractions leading up to the game. Tech.

Kevin - Kiffin tells the bus driver not to stop at convenience stores on the way to ATL given the thinning ranks. Hokies win the 3rd time charmer.

Jay - could not participate this week.

Vip - If Lane Kiffen can keep the Vols off of probation between now and New Year's, this might be a good game. For some unknown reason, I have a good feeling about Tech. I think Frank gets another signature win against a "name" program. Hokies win 24-13.

Ivan - Tech.

Paul - The Hokies prove once again that nothing sucks like a Big Orange and that the third time is a charm in the ATL..

Curmudgeon - Va Tech.

John - Will they get the Bristol track cleared in time? Oh wait... it's Notlanta again, oh well - VT.

Jim - Another game in Atlanta against an SEC team. Winning these is not Frank's strongest suit. Until now. Tech wins.

 

 

01.01.2010. Gator Bowl.
Florida State - West Virginia

Final Score: ... - ...

Tom - How much "Win One For Grandpa" emotion will their be from F$U? I think a bunch as Bobby goes out thumbing his nose or another finger at the last place that fired him. Noles.

Kevin - Bobby and Chuckie get their walking papers, Jax gets their stimulus. WV gets a kick in the rear. Smiles everyone! F$U sends Bobby out a winner.

Jay - could not participate this week.

Vip - Ah, the memories. St. Bobby getting his swan song against the school where he made a name for himself back in the dark ages. Nostaligia won't be enough. WVU wins 40-17.

Ivan - Noles.

Paul - Sorry, Bobby...all the strings pulled are not in the cards. Cousins win.

Curmudgeon - The Cousins aka WVU.

John - Pick 'em. Cousins by a whisker.

Jim - Adios, Bobby. FSU wins.

 

 

01.01.2010. Rose Bowl.
Ohio State - Oregon

Final Score: ... - ...

Tom - Oregon's offense is better than the Nut defense. Ducks.

Kevin - Buckeyes and losing bowl games... perfect together. Ducks.

Jay - could not participate this week.

Vip - Can Nike design a hideous "Rose Bowl" themed uni for the Ducks in time for this one. Oregon wins 38-30.

Ivan - O-region over O-state.

Paul - Quack.

Curmudgeon - Oregon.

John - Buckeyes D should prevail, Ducks disappointed..

Jim - Dare the Nuts win a BCS game? Well, at least it's not against the SEC. tOSU wins.

 

 

01.01.2010. Sugar Bowl.
Florida - Cincinnati

Final Score: ... - ...

Tom - Asshole Brian Kelly thanks his team for putting him in position to get the ND job and says "See Ya!" Stepping on the Bearcats isn't that only way he screws them as they blow chunks against the Crocs. Besides, Tebow doesn't want to go out with everyone remembering his crying jag after losing to Bama ["Waaaahhh! I didn't win MY last game for ME!"]. Crocs.

Kevin - No tears for Tebow this day as Cincy still lamenting their turnstiled program.

Jay - could not participate this week.

Vip - A pissed-off Florida team against a team with an interim coach. Sounds like the WVU-Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl from 2008. I think UF will have more than enough to win, 28-7.

Ivan - Hell, this is RUTS abode. Crocs.

Paul - Fighting Tebows.

Curmudgeon - Florida.

John - I gotta go with FL.

Jim - No crying in this one, Tebow. Crocs win.

 

 

01.04.2010. Fiesta Bowl.
Boise State - TCU

Final Score: ... - ...

Tom - This should be a damned entertaining game. Horny Frogs.

Kevin - Got D? TCU does and wins.

Jay - could not participate this week.

Vip - The Bridesmaids Bowl. Will the winner STFU about being a National Champion? TCU wins 45-41.

Ivan - Hmmm... Horny Amphibians.

Paul - TCU.

Curmudgeon - TCU.

John - This might be the best bowl match this year - TCU.

Jim - How many people really care? TCU wins.

 

 

01.05.2010. Orange Bowl.
Georgia Tech - Iowa

Final Score: ... - ...

Tom - Iowa? Their most impressive achievement is that they made it to a BCS game. Wreckers.

Kevin - Iowa wouldn't finish top 4 in the Coastal. GT wins.

Jay - could not participate this week.

Vip - Will a month be enough for Ferentz to get ready for the Jacket's option attack? If they do well, can he give Beamer some pointers? GT wins 20-10.

Ivan - Tech.

Paul - Georgia Tech has just enough to pull it out and make it two in a row for the ACC in the OB.

Curmudgeon - Ga Tech.

John - GT should roll.

Jim - This might actually be an interesting game. GT wins.
