Bowl Game Blowout! Open Thread for 12/28/09

by yellow fever on Dec 28, 2009 1:00 PM PST in California Golden Bears Football

Advocare V100 Independence Bowl

Texas A&M Aggies (6-6) vs. Georgia Bulldogs (7-5)
12/28/09 at 5:00 PM EST
Shreveport, Louisiana

Initial Thoughts: Good idea starting the game before Monday Night Football. Also before tonight's special edition of Raw hosted by Timbaland. Also notable: the Independence Bowl website looks like it was put together by a seventh grader.
Most Awesome Player: Let's give this one to Jerrod Johnson, who delivered the College Fantasy Football Championship to Rags (along with that heathen Toby Gerhart). 267/439 for 3,217 yards, 28 touchdowns and six interceptions; 131 rushing attempts for 455 yards and eight touchdowns running.
Most Awesome Sponsor: Andy Pleasant Bail Bonds.

Shreveport, LA - Bail Bonds - Andy Pleasant Bail Bonds

Not quite Bad Boys Bail Bonds (because your momma wants you home!), but what is?

The Line: Georgia by 6.5
Accuscore says: Georgia 35.1, Texas A&M 26.8
ESPN says: Georgia 34, Texas A&M 28
Who you should be rooting for: The Chicago Bears! So the Eagles have a shot at the #2 seed in the NFC playoffs.

I liked it better when it was the Poulan/Weed Eater Independence Bowl.

Praise be to Tedford!

Until I saw this post I thought the game was 5pm PST instead of 5pm EST. Go Dawgs!

Anyone know a site where I would be able to watch the game on my iPod?

Well you can’t get flashplayer on iPhone/iPod, so I guess not.

Mike Leach has been suspended?

I may have to rethink my 33 pick of TTech over Michigan St.

audio stream

Interesting that an audio broadcast of the game doesn’t appear available via streaming. 2009 seems to be the year organizations attempt to monetize audio streams. If that’s correct , nice job of stepping over $5 of free publicity to pick up $0.25 of paid listenership.

I had TAMU in the upset all the way up til lunchtime, then decided to conform with a UGA pick. Don’t make a jerk outta me, UGA!

Two Alamar specials in a row give UGA at 14-7 lead.

TAMU is playing a true frosh LB we recruited (he had an official visit to Berkeley late in the process): Jonathan Stewart
