Bowl Game Blowout! Open Thread for 12/26/09

 

The Little Caesars Pizza Bowl

12/26/09 at 1:00 PM
Detroit, Michigan

Initial Thoughts: That pre-game party looks promising.
Most Awesome Player: Theo Scott, Ohio QB (185/318 for 2,258 yards, 19 touchdowns, 10 interceptions)
Most Awesome SponsorAccident Fund.  No, seriously, they have a sponsor called Accident Fund.

The Line: Ohio -3
Accuscore says: Ohio 26.6, Marshall 21.9
ESPN says: Ohio 27, Marshall 20
Who you should be rooting for: I really don't care about this game at all.  I'm going with Ohio because I picked them in the Bowl Pick'em, so I suppose that's as good a reason as any.

 

 

The Meineke Car Care Bowl

 


Pittsburgh Panthers (9-3) vs. North Carolina Tar Heels (8-4)
12/26/09 at 4:30 PM
Charlotte, North Carolina

Initial Thoughts: I think I'll go see Avatar this weekend.  During this game.
Most Awesome Player: Dion Lewis, Pittsburgh RB (297 rushing attempts for 1,640 yards and 16 touchdowns; 24 receptions for 190 yards and one touchdown)
Most Awesome Sponsor: Hey, maybe I should go bowling instead.  At Strike City Charlotte!  Notable: Their website is completely useless and provides zero information about their business.  Great design there.
The Line: Pittsburgh -2.5
Accuscore says: Pittsburgh 25.8, North Carolina 20.7
ESPN says: North Carolina 23, Pittsburgh 21
Who you should be rooting for: Pittsburgh.  Because Dave Wannstedt's mustache rules!

 

 


The Emerald Bowl

USC Trojans (8-4) vs. Boston College Eagles (8-4)
12/26/09 at 8:00 PM
San Francisco, California

Initial Thoughts: I miss those Emerald Nuts commercials.
Most Awesome Player: Taylor Mays?  Damian Williams?  Joe McKnight?  DC and Paragon, help me out here.  Who hasn't been disappointing for USC this year?
Most Awesome Sponsor: I'm told MoMo's is kinda cool.

 

The Line: USC - 7
Accuscore says: USC 26.4, Boston College 18.2
ESPN says: USC 35, Boston College 24
Who you should be rooting for: USC, if only because I am completely apathetic towards Boston College.  And Paragon and DC are cool!

Yes, Go USC for a couple of reasons:

1. The Pac-10 needs to get off the schneid
2. Those guys over at CC are a pretty cool bunch.

Of course, if you would have told me three years ago that I would be rooting for SC, I wouldn’t have believed you.

D-Will is the man!

The question is which USC team shows up?

If SC wins it will do it barely. These guys couldn’t be more disinterested.

Should be interesting with McKnight, McCoy and Tyron Smith out.

I hope Bradford gets 30 touches tonight to finally show everyone why he needed more time on the field to begin with. I will pop over on occasion…

Here is the bigger question….who ya’ got – Temple or ucla?

Can’t wait to hear your responses!!

by Paragon SC on Dec 26, 2009 3:35 PM PST reply actions  

Temple or UCLA…? I can honestly say that the outcome of that game couldn’t interest me less. Seriously. I haven’t seen a down of Temple football so far this year, and I have no intention of starting now.

I’ve already kinda moved on to basketball season, actually.

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

Here is what he has...
An arachnoid cyst is a fluid-filled cyst that that occurs in the arachnoid membrane around the brain. While completely benign, and not a tumor per se, they can cause symptoms by compression of adjacent nervous system structures.

The arachnoid membrane is a thin, filmy tissue that is one of the three coverings of the brain, the meninges. It normally encloses the subarachnoid space, which is filled with cerebrospinal fluid, a water-like fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. It is thought that during development in some cases the arachnoid does not form properly so that a sack, or cyst, is formed which lets fluid into it but not out. This can lead to the cyst enlarging and the adjacent brain under-developing. Therefore, these cysts are not literally brain tumors, they are really congenital (you are born with it) malformations of the arachnoid.

Arachnoid takes its name because the membrane somewhat resembles a spider web.

The cyst wall is basically just arachnoid membrane and the cyst is filled with fluid which is essentially the same as cerebrospinal fluid.

I’ve always dreamed of the day when USC would play in a low bowl. I never thought I’d see the day. Normally, I would root against USC despite being a Pac-10 team. However, with the Pac-10 going 0-2 thus far, I might just have to root for USC.

When hope was high

I dreamed that USC would play in a lower bowl
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
