Bowl Game Blowout! First Quarter Open Thread for the Poinsettia Bowl
The San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl

California Golden Bears (8-4) vs. Utah Utes (9-3)
12/23/09 at 8:00 PM
San Diego, California
Initial Thoughts: Should I watch this or go to Nets/Timberwolves? I mean, I know it's a bowl game...but the Nets might not win for the rest of the season.
Most Awesome Player: Jahvid Best isn't playing, so...Syd'Quan Thompson? Mike Mohamed? Mike Tepper?!?
Most Awesome Sponsor: Picnic People San Diego!

The Line: California by 3.5.
Accuscore says: California 27.7, Utah 26.6
ESPN says: Utah 23, California 17
Who you should be rooting for: If you need to ask, you're in the wrong place.

I just got a phone call from the parking lot of the bowl game
Several people wanted to inform me that I a)was a “bitch” for not being at the game and b)“should shotgun a beer right now”
so...
Did you shotgun a beer or not, bitch!?

I hate not being there...
… instead I’ll be watching this from my parents’ home.
I’m really really nervous and dreading the game.
In other words, Go Bears!
Are you on your lucky couch?

Its dead in here. Not enough Cal spirit IMO. We are wearing blue on blue though.
Vereening off into the future....

Rumor has it Shane is harboring and ankle injury and DeBo might be seeing more carries than expected
Whose domicile? OUR DOMICILE!
Go Bears! Send the Utes packing!

Is the poinsettia bowl so lazy as to not change the team names in the endzone?

But the San Diego Credit Union didn’t get stimulus money.

How many yards does Shane need to get 1,000 and keep the 1,000 yard runner streak going?

Pretty blah first possession for Cal.

Nice run-blocking on the big gainer. Got a weird blitz.
I expect them to release Riley a little more next possession

And here I thought they were just going to release Riley
Like in the NFL. CUT!

I switched my pick to Utah at the last moment
But I hope the Dirty Golden Bears prove me wrong!

you picked against Cal? For shame!!!

Not a Cal fan otherwise I wouldn't have
I never pick against my own teams, even when it is hopeless!

I wasn’t going to have a Happy Holidays until I watched the sponsor wish me one. Thanks San Diego County Credit Union!

O-Line is looking really good so far. I know they put in a ton of work for this game, it’s nice to see it pay off. I really hope Tep is able to go out on a high note.
I've been Honked...
Giantfan5, what’s your take on Coach Marshall?

let Isi touch the rock
just do it

I’d like to see Isi in space as a slot receiver.

Anyone know of any good ST coaches that are on the market?

I blame Alamar for this score. Also ESPN really has the B-List announcers covering the SDCU Poinsettia Bowl.
nice return for sofele
