Bowl Game Blowout! Open Thread for the GMAC Bowl

GMAC Bowl

GMAC Bowl
1/6/10 at 7:00 PM EST
Mobile, Alabama

 

Initial Thoughts: I'd rather be at the Charles Barkley speech than watch the actual game.
Most Awesome Player: Dan LeFevour (285/401 for 3,043 yards, 27 touchdowns, 6 interceptions; 174 rushes for 701 yards and 14 touchdowns)
Most Awesome SponsorRed Lobster. Because I'm a big fan of endless shrimp.

The Line: Central Michigan by 4
Over/Under: 63
Chad Millman's blog says: I made a play on the over. Central Michigan averaged 70 plays a game and Troy averaged 73. Anytime you get out of the 60s you got teams playing a lot of offense. Troy ranked 117th in pass defense and gave up a 62 percent completion rate, that was against Sun Belt competition, which means they have a good chance of getting worked over by a team with four-year starters at quarterback and wide receiver.
Accuscore says: Central Michigan 35.4, Troy 31.1
ESPN says: Troy 42, Central Michigan 38
Who you should be rooting for: Whichever team Charles Barkley roots for.

Why aren't they showing the band?

Compared to Fox, this like watching Madden and Summerall….

I think Tessitore and Gilmore do a pretty good job, although Tessitore tends to slobber over the star of the game and call him the Greatest Player in America every week

It's dat Woo Woooooo.

I like it when Gilmore was talking about Joe Namath. “People look at his stats and say ‘was he really all that great?’ Absolutely.” otoh, Furd.

Did Tessitore just call LeFevour...

…the “best quarterback this conference has seen”?

Better than Roethlisberger? Or Leftwich?
