"New Years" Bowls Afternoon Open Thread

Two more bowls end today's bowlathon. First up, we have the Rose Bowl,

matching up Pac-12 Champion Oregon with Big10 Champion Wisconsin:

Oregon and Wisconsin have been no strangers to BCS appearances in recent years, but both are seeking that elusive victory in the national spotlight.

Featuring contrasting yet ruthlessly proficient offenses, the Ducks and Badgers meet in the Rose Bowl on Monday at Pasadena, Calif.

The sixth-ranked Ducks (11-2), who lost the 2011 BCS title game to Auburn in Pasadena, won the Pac-12 championship game to earn their third straight BCS appearance. Oregon, which opened the season with a loss to then-No. 4 LSU, had its hopes for a second straight title game appearance dashed with a 38-35 defeat toSouthern California on Nov. 19.

And then, at the end of the night, we have the Fiesta Bowl. This bowl includes another Pac-12 team, Stanford. They take on Oklahoma State:

A national title game-worthy team is looking to spoil the likely college finale for one of the most coveted pro prospects in history.

It seems like a terrific start to 2012 for the Fiesta Bowl after a dismal 2011.

Andrew Luck plays what is expected to be his final game before becoming the likely No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft, with Stanford trying to prevent Oklahoma State from proving it should have been the one playing for a BCS championship.

So, leave your thoughts about the games here! GO BEARS!

Wisconsin is an awesome school and Madison is terrific. I’m definitely pulling for the Badgers.

That being said, Oregon probably pulls away in this one.

I’m not talking about talking smack, I’m talking about throwing it back to oregon when they do that they never win the big games. it’s about neutralizing them. It’s very effective. Oregon being successful does NOT help us at all. Not in the least. It just makes them more obnoxious.

That being said, I would be very happy if the knock on Cal, say 5 years from now, is that we always make it to a BCS game but lose.

At risk of being yelled at for merely making the observation

Looking at the Oregon helmets, it occurs to me that Cal could easily do that same kind of motif. Instead of duck wings on the sides and the O on the back, we could do bear claws on the sides with a script Cal or block C on the back.

you guys remember the games when Cal destroyed the Tree a few years in a row?
I remember being at Furd one year. It was the 2nd year we got the tree. THEY had barricaded the Cal fans in the north end zone. But nobody left.

Eventually, some enterprising(ly drunk) students figured out they didn’t need to pour onto the field in front of security, but could wind across the stands to the 50 yard line, where Furd people HAD been, and enter the field from there.

They did so and we ALL in the stands watched a blue&gold group of about 30 (and growing) move thru the red/white until they reached the dancing tree in the far south end zone.

Suddenly, the tree really started shaking, under duress. Then it disappeared, liked a plant that gets sucked down a gopher hole. There was much activity among the crowd in the area, and then pieces of GREEN started flying up into the air. Cal fans had totally ripped apart the Stanford Mascot and thrown it into the air.

It is one of my favorite moments rooting for Cal.

My 80+ year old grandmother was laughing as much as the next person.

by concordtom on Jan 2, 2012 4:30 PM PST up reply actions  

the next year...

was in Berkeley. Cal fans were going for the 3rd year in a row of “GET THE TREE”.
During halftime, some burly Furdites were mixed in with the band with saxophones.

When the daring students rushed the field, immediately, the saxes were thrown to the ground and the dozen fake musicians went after the 4 or 5 Cal fans. Some of them seemed to simply get their asses kicked, before security could go over there and break it up. It was so one sided. They suckered us there.

I haven’t seen the Tree get attacked since.

Yes and no

If they had a good FG kicker, they wouldn’t have felt the need to throw a pass into coverage on the 3rd and very long in the 3rd Q that ended in the Wisconsin interception. They could have had a checkdown, pick up a few yards, have discretion be the better part of valor, and kick a FG.

Since you went over to ATQ to tell us all you how you feel about LMJ,

and us for rooting for him, I thought I’d hop on over. I guess the thing I want to say about it is that, with all respect, you’re obviously not very familiar with the LMJ arrest situation. It might be a good idea to actually learn the facts before you judge not just him, but other fans on the internet for “rooting for thugs” or whatever.

You got me.

I root for girlfriend-beaters, and don’t care how many girlfriends they beat if they help my favorite sports team win football games.

All the facts and whatnot that I think I have learned about LMJ’s conduct that undergird my moral comfort concerting my rooting interests are just delusions to mask tolerance for girlfriend beating.

Your perception of the facts is obviously 100% correct and complete.

And ATQ was silly to ban you for pointing out my (and all Duck fans’) moral failing.

I have a couple theories. One is that somehow, between the combination of people in green, people in Yellow, and the weird alt-block allotment, there were actually more Oregon fans that it looked like there were.

Mid 90s -- was only a 4-year affiliation, I think

Ucla went once, Oregon went once, and I think USC went once. It was a weird thing — if memory serves, the bowl could choose either the Pac-10 # 2 or the MWC (or WAC?) champ. One year, they chose BYU instead of a Pac-10 team.

Sometimes the honking horns of your traffic make me want to get out of my BMW.. and run off into the hills, or wherever.. Sometimes when I get a message on my fax machine, I wonder: “Did little demons get inside and type it?” I don’t know! My primitive mind can’t grasp these concepts. But there is one thing I do know – when a man like my client slips and falls on a sidewalk in front of a public library, then he is entitled to no less than two million in compensatory damages, and two million in punitive damages.

The reputation of the conference is irrelevant unless you have a team in competition for the national title.

by norcalnick on Jan 2, 2012 9:21 PM PST up reply actions  

That’s not an issue any more since the BCS has expanded. Now, if the Rose Bowl has an open slot and Cal is within the BCS top 16, they’ll get picked by the Rose Bowl.

Cal will NEVER get more respect than a team like Texas. Cal played the team universally regarded as the best in the country to a standstill, on the road, and STILL lost out to Texas. It doesn’t matter what any team in the Pac-12 does – It’s the reason Okie St. lost out to Bama, it’s the reason small schools get screwed by big schools.

The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS

by norcalnick on Jan 2, 2012 9:33 PM PST up reply actions  

Well, respectfully, I disagree. Strongly.

If the Pac10, Pac12, were winning more consistently in football and basketball. If THEY were the conference to get to 6 straight BCS title games, CAL would have won the BCS vote in 2004.
I don’t understand how you can suggest otherwise.

You realize that Cal was lightly regarded in the 2004 vote because they came out of nowhere. People were like, “Cal who?” Meanwhile, Texas was in the running the year before. Texas just FELT like the more powerful team because of Rep. Either their own rep, or the rep of the conference – they go hand in hand.

You say it doesn’t matter anymore because if Cal is in the top 16…. well, how do you think a team makes it into the top 16, if not for REPUTATION based on the performance in prior years of your own school and that of your conference.

At the end of every season, they go thru the conferences and show the W-L record of each, and that has an impression on EVERYONE.

Cal got very mildly hurt tonight with Stanford’s loss.
We were helped with Oregon’s win, and the fact that the conference had TWO teams in the BCS bowls.

okay, fair enough. I wasn’t really pissed. Bummed, yes. But not pissed, nothing like if it was Cal losing like that!!!

I guess I was reacting to the numerous and repeated comments above when the FG’s were missed: “SUCK IT FURD”

There was a contingent that was having a field day at the fact that our Conference brethren (well, they ARE) losing. I thought that was excessively negative. And illogical. As a Pac12 team, we should want them to win over Okie State. I mean, come on – OKIE STATE? Are you kidding me? I could never root for them.

As a Cal fan, I’m accustomed enough to losses, so I wouldn’t let that ruin my day.

But, I will say, losing like Stanford just did would be painful!!! They had this game, and quit playing. Coach Shaw isn’t going to be able to get a woody for a whole month.

Uhm. Actually, I kinda wanted Griffin to win it – what happiness has Baylor ever had in football. My cousin played for Texas and he used to LAUGH at them. So, I felt like that would be nice for them. Plus, Stanford had the full year campaign for Luck going. And I hate that. Just play and see who does better. Don’t politic it.

or you could say his coach was an idiot for taking the ball out of his hands, repeatedly. A little thing we like to call Hubris. Last time we heard that word was late November in 2009.

by fiatlux on Jan 2, 2012 10:04 PM PST up reply actions  

not handing off to Toby Gerhart (who had just bowled over Mikey Mo and ran for 30+ yards) and instead having Luck pass twice only to be picked by Mikey Mo.. That’s hubris. Most CAL fans have that game memorized.

by fiatlux on Jan 2, 2012 10:13 PM PST up reply actions  

ah yes.
thank you. That was a good one.

… instead, I’m still remembering the time we ripped apart the Tree Mascot in Palo Alto after losing, circa 1999.

… Instead, I still see myself asking my aunt in 1984, “what happened?”
- “weeeee scoorrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeddddddd”

If 2009 is your biggest moment, I suspect you are fairly young. That’s okay. You’ll get old soon enough. If you are lucky.

by concordtom on Jan 2, 2012 10:17 PM PST up reply actions  

Concordtom, fiatlux is not especially young. But more to the point, the whole “hubris” thing arose out of the Jim Harbaugh era, because Harbaugh talked about hubris while he was Stanfurd’s coach. The term is thus associated with the Harbaugh era.

by CalBear81 on Jan 2, 2012 10:25 PM PST up reply actions  

I am not remotely young! ;-)

Further, Harbaugh used the word Hubris directly proceeding The Big Game in 2009. As in they had to be on guard against it. So what does he do? Instead of going to his bread and butter potential Heisman candidate, he decides to roll the dice twice with his Freshman QB who had been completely shut down that night. That’s hubris. I knew you would know that ’81. Most Cal fans know that.

yeah, I remember something like that.

But I can’t remember exactly. I like Harbaugh. He was good for Stanford, and he’s been good for the 49ers. Actually – GREAT for both. I don’t have any bad bone for him. I love his fire, and that’s how I’d act if I were successful like him.
