"New Year's Bowls" Morning Open Thread

PrintWell, the New Year's Bowls are not on New Year's today. Instead, they are on January 2. It is still a national holiday, so you get to slowly get fatter and enjoy the games. There are 4 games in the morning here to enjoy. The TicketCity Bowl, the Gator Bowl, the Capital One Bowl, and the Outback Bowl. There are two more games this evening, the Rose Bowl and the Fiesta Bowl. They will get their own open thread.
For now, let's look at these morning games. The first game is the TicketCity bowl, matching Houston and PSU:
In almost any other season, winning nine games and falling just short of playing for the Big Ten title would earn a program like Penn State a spot in one of the conference’s more sought-after bowl destinations.
For the 24th-ranked Nittany Lions, though, this was a season unlike any other.
In the wake of one of the ugliest scandals in college sports history, Penn State’s relegation to the TicketCity Bowl in Dallas on Jan. 2 still provides an intriguing matchup as one of the nation’s top defenses tries to slow record-breaking quarterback Case Keenum and No. 20 Houston.
More info on this morning's games after the jump!
The next game is the Urban Meyer Bowl, aka the Gator Bowl, which matchesOhio State and Florida:
For one year, perhaps the Gator Bowl should be renamed the Urban Meyer Bowl.
The former Florida coach and future Ohio State boss won’t even be on the sidelines Jan. 2 in Jacksonville, but that doesn’t mean he won’t be the talk of the town as these marquee-but-struggling programs square off for the first time since the Gators routed the Buckeyes in the BCS championship game five years ago.
Meyer led Florida to two national titles in just six seasons in Gainesville, capturing the first by virtue of a 41-14 win over previously undefeated Ohio State on Jan. 8, 2007.
Next up, we have the Capital One Bowl, matching Nebraska and South Carolina:
South Carolina is one victory away from the winningest season in its history. To achieve that, the Gamecocks will need to overcome one of college football’s most storied programs - and one neither they nor their coach have defeated.
No. 10 South Carolina takes a stifling defense and an up-and-coming quarterback into Orlando on Jan. 2 to face No. 21 Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl.
Steve Spurrier’s teams have never posted a losing record since he became coach at South Carolina in 2005, and he has taken the program to new heights in his seventh year. The Gamecocks (10-2) have matched the 1984 team for the most wins in the 118-year history of the program, finished SEC play with a school-best 6-2 record and defeated all five of their East Division rivals.
Finally for this thread, we have the Outback Bowl, which matches up Michigan State and Georgia:
For the first time since the 1987 season, Michigan State finished alone with the Big Ten’s best regular-season record.
But after a tough loss in the conference’s inaugural championship game, the 12th-ranked Spartans will have to settle for another trip to Florida rather than a Rose Bowl appearance.
Michigan State seeks its first postseason victory under coach Mark Dantonio when it faces No. 18 Georgia in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 2 in Tampa.

Holy shit, Case Keenum!
2 throws, 1 TD. First pass he stepped up to avoid pressure, had a running lane and appeared to retake it, but then flicked it to a wide open receiver (db’s ran to Keenum instead of continuing coverage). IMPRESSIVE.

Never seen a qb check receivers off so quickly. Keenum is a serious talent. Should be up there with Luck, Barkeley, and RG3

Only once this season did he have more than 46 in an entire game.

South Carolina recovers a fumble in the red zone. On the next play, they complete a 78-yard pass and follow that up with a 6-yard run to get to the Nebraska 1. Three plays later they bounce a field goal off the upright for no points.

No, it’s enough. Not disputing that you’ve seen worse, just saying that these idiots clearly lost control of themselves, and not for just a moment.

LOL the Buckeye fan in the stands who appears to be complaining about the fumble by DeVier Posey
I can only guess he wants an incomplete pass call. Problem is, Posey caught the ball and took like four steps running before having the ball poked out.

Florida just kicked an 18 yard FG on 4th and goal from inside the 1
To take a 24-10 lead just a few seconds into the 4th Q.
I wonder what a gameday thread reaction would be if WE did that.

They’ll be running the spread next year with Urban Meyer and the new OC. Query whether they’ll be adept at it at the point of the season we’re playing them. They certainly have the athletic talent at QB to run it well. Braxton Miller is a good player, IMO.

And OSU’s defense will be good.

Does that require them to throw the ball? If so, I’m happy. I have seen nothing this season from Miller that suggests he is a competent passer.

From what I’ve seen (and I don’t watch every snap of OSU football), Miller’s at his most accurate when he is throwing a slant or a skinny post. Quick stuff up the middle, he seems to be okay. Outside throws are an issue. And he’s inconsistent on the deep ball — I’ve seen good and bad there with him.
He is a tremendous runner, though. Not only is he athletic, but he really brings a load when you try to tackle him. He knows how to finish a run.

and not to be a nega bear (because we all know i am not) but i have very little faith, as in zero, that our coaching staff would have had the game / clock awareness to challenge there.
To be fair, maybe our staff would figure the pac-12 official would get it rong anyway.

They went for 2 on each of their first 3 TDs. Converted the first one and missed the next two.

In other words, in a hypothetical reality, they would’ve just scored a touchdown to win rather than to tie. Though of course it’s tough to project how things would’ve gone with different scores throughout.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
in this case, I tihnk things would have been about the same… since Georgia tried a two point conversion (as they should have in that particular situation)
Well, if MSU had the extra point it would have been 21-19 when Georgia scored the TD. Georgia would’ve kicked the extra point to go up 26-21, since the 2 pt. conversion wouldn’t have done any good. Then when MSU gets the final TD they’d win 28-21.
Hypothetically.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
exactly and i don’t think any MSU fans would be unhappy with the outcome. make it you win! lose it and man at least you lost it going down swinging. It’s a bowl game.
It would’ve have been right up their HC’s (Dantonio) alley to do it. Remember MSU ran the fake FG in overtime to beat Notre Dame a couple of years ago. THAT was ballsy.

I dunno… They had that much trouble being under a yard from the goal line for a TD. I think the kick was the right call

Pete Elliott in 1958 agrees with you
IIRC, Cal did not attempt a kicking PAT in 1958. All of Cal’s conversion attempts were for 2 points in 1958. It was also the same year in which the 2 point conversion was made legal and the lat year in which Cal won a Rose Bowl berth.
Not drawing a connection, mind you. Just sayin’.

INT in first OT possession
Man crush on Aaron Rodgers, since 2003.
CaliforniaGoldenBlogs/Twitter/Facebook/Clothing Store
As if there needed to be another reason for me to hate college FB overtime
UGA commits a personal foul during the INT return. “By rule, the penalty is declined” and UGA gets the ball at the normal spot for OT (25-yard line).
So they get a freebie personal foul?!?!?
Man crush on Aaron Rodgers, since 2003.
CaliforniaGoldenBlogs/Twitter/Facebook/Clothing Store
Agreed
I believe college OT is vastly superior to NFL OT.

"Pringled quietly to myself"
The term "Pringle" is CGB-speak for LOL. This is because one of Cal’s great early football players was named Charles "Lol" Pringle. He was a hero of the 1898 Big Game! Because of his nickname "Lol," people started using "Pringle" to mean "Lol." Here is the original post that got this all started.
I blame Twist.

There’s an unofficial dictionary that explains all the weird things on this site.
Pringles: Originally as a reference to Charles “Lol” Pringle, Cal Golden bear from the 1898 Football team, it has become a verb and substitute for LOL. One can pringle in response to a joke, state simple ‘pringles’ or ‘pqtm’ – shorthand for pringled quietly to myself. Many have found this seems to fit the experience of one’s response when reading humorous comments better than LOL.
