Bowl Game Blowout! - Open Thread for 12/19/09

Where we endeavor to get you as pumped as possible for football games that you couldn't pay me to watch in person.

Fresno State Bulldogs (8-4) vs. Wyoming Cowboys (6-6)
12/19/09 at 4:30 PM
Albuquerque, New Mexico

Initial Thoughts: What's a better indicator that we have too many bowls at this point: two teams that have no national profile playing in New Mexico, or a bowl being sponsored by a county credit union?
Most Awesome Player: Ryan Mathews, Fresno State RB (245 attempts for 1,664 yards and 17 touchdowns)
Most Awesome Sponsor: The U.S. New Mexico Federal Credit Union.  We have too many bowls at this point.
Accuscore says: Fresno State 35.3, Wyoming 22.8
ESPN says: Fresno State 38, Wyoming 24
Who you should be rooting for: Fresno State.  So Tedford's in a good mood.

 

University of Central Florida Knights (8-4) vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights (8-4)
12/19/09 at 8:00 PM
St. Petersburg, Florida

Initial ThoughtsI'm really quite embarrassed that my grad school alma mater only managed a 8-4 record against this schedule:

 

2009 Schedule/Results
DATE OPPONENT W-L (CONF) RESULT
9/07 Cincinnati 0-1 (0-1) L 47-15
9/12 Howard 1-1 (0-1) W 45-7
9/19 FIU 2-1 (0-1) W 23-15
9/26 Maryland 3-1 (0-1) W 34-13
10/10 Texas Southern 4-1 (0-1) W 42-0
10/16 Pittsburgh 4-2 (0-2) L 24-17
10/23 Army 5-2 (0-2) W 27-10
10/31 Connecticut 6-2 (1-2) W 28-24
11/12 No. 24 South Florida 7-2 (2-2) W 31-0
11/21 Syracuse 7-3 (2-3) L 31-13
11/27 Louisville 8-3 (3-3) W 34-14
12/05 No. 23 West Virginia 8-4 (3-4) L 24-21

 

Realistically, Syracuse was the team's only inexplicable loss.  But man, that was truly inexplicable.

Most Awesome Player: Anthony Davis, Rutgers LT - though I'd expect to see a healthy dose of Mohamed Sanu out of the wildcat formation since the team can't run out of standard formations.
Most Awesome SponsorBeef O'Brady's!
Accuscore says: Rutgers 23.8, UCF 21.8
ESPN says: Rutgers 27, UCF 17
Who you should be rooting for: Rutgers.  If not for me, then because the Scarlet Knights were the last team that Cal defeated during the Holmoecaust.

I don’t get the bias against Texas Tech. Few teams consistently do more with less. They probably shouldn’t have lost to Oklahoma as big as they did last year, but as a Cal fan are you really surprised that TT had the kind of letdown game they did against Ole Miss?

A team that can’t defend the run to save its life vs. a team that can’t defend the pass to save its life. I mean, I get that you’d put a lot of confidence on Nevada, but this one is going to get ugly.

My reasoning is this and this alone: SMU lost to Washington St. Other than that, I know nothing about them and almost nothing about Nevada (besides that they have a decent offense)

Cowboys' first possession goes for 6

Solid drive, long touchdown pass by Romo after the Saints went 3 and out. It’s going to suck when Dallas plays really well for the whole game only to realize at the last minute it’s still December.

I haven’t watched many Saints games, but it seems like slow starts aren’t unusual. But by the 2nd half, Brees tends to be in fullscale secondary destruction mode.

"Winning is everything," said Hill, who just signed an extension with Fresno State to remain as coach into the foreseeable future. "That’s what it’s all about. Everything’s about winning, whether you’re scrimmaging or you’re playing tiddlywinks or whatever it is. The American way is about winning. That’s why people move to the United States so they have a chance to win and be successful in anything you do. If you don’t like winning, go to another country where everybody does the same thing."
