Wednesday's Bowl Predictions And Game Thread

PrintDid you hear that, "Woo-Hoo!!!" scream that came from my living room last night when Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbart threw a game winning 72-yard touchdown pass to Iowa defensive back Micah Hyde. It wasn't that I was thrilled the Tigers were going to choke off their lead and lose the Insight Bowl, well I kinda was but not for the reason you might suspect. Unless your team wears burnt orange I'll cheer for all the Big 12 teams during the bowl season except for when I've picked against them in our bowl pick'em contest. That interception put me at 2-0 last night and, more importantly, helped me to a two-game winning streak and put my record at 6-5 after losing the previous four games.
Now, on to today's bowl games. The Big 12 is featured twice this evening and unlike last night I think the conference has a chance to pick up wins.

Need to get back to my winning ways
Ever since I left town and have been away from all civlization I have not won a game. I turn it around tonight now that Im back so go Maryland, Baylor, and Ok State.
Kudos to getting out of the basement on the pick em contest!

I think I've taken his place lol!
Good luck to the cowboys tonight, hope they get that much deserved 11th win!

I've got a lot on Baylor tonight, so if they go down I could be in even more trouble than I already am

I have a lot of points on Baylor
yes….I’m nervous….but they are fired up for being in a Bowl..and they should have home field advantage.

Agreed. Plus I've seen Illinois a couple times and they're awful

He wasn't TOTALLY in the basement
He was on the stairs though. But, since turning it around, he has “slipped” up the rankings past KYSooner (I truly hope that stands for Kentucky).

that's technically true
if you’re counting the people that apparently entered, but didn’t make any picks. i’m sure he was proud to be ahead of those people!

WHOOO HOOO..looks like another pick em win…good for a whopping 6 points if Maryland holds on! (I had no idea how Maryland would respond to their coach getting fired)

Baylor is defying the laws of physics
Until now, it was considered impossible to simultaneously blow and suck.
Wow
Baylor…um…can we not claim you as a conference mate? I mean even texas would have at least shown up!
man…I’m going to lose a lot of points to this one!
Colorado Rockies correspondent at My Team Rivals (www.mtrmedia.com/rockies) and my own site Rockies Reporter (www.rockiesreporter.wordpress.com)
seriously...conference realignment.
We can just trade baylor for someone. Someone like SMU, I think the would perform better in the Big 12. We would be the first conference to actually give a team away..
We can give them to the WAC
the WAC will take anyone right now…..and for trade….um….ok….we can go with a 9 team league.

Actually...
I think the ACC or the Big East actually kick Temple out? Maybe it was someone else, but I remember hearing something like that on the radio the other day…
no you are right
the Big Least kicked out Temple

we should
I blew this one worse than I blew the Hawaii-Tulsa game. (seriously…Hawaii was at HOME)

On another note don't forget that OSU has blown bowl games as well
anyone remember last years Cotton mouth bowl
on an interesting note
this Baylor team beat Texass

I retract my plus 1 on the crap after that 2nd TD
I’m so far down in the picks I don’t care. I’m pulling for AZ
Nevermind
Just saw the highlight on espin. Blackmon running along the edge of the end zone? I’d pull the kid for a couple of plays. Let him remember it wasn’t about him.
my christmas wish was for ESPIN be sent to mamby pamby land

Maybe they're hoping
For a piece of the Boone Pickens pie! Haha.
He spent quite a bit of his childhood in my hometown and got in trouble recently for coming down and cutting out a part of a guy’s driveway without asking. Apparently it was the home his grandmother lived in and wanted a piece to remember her by. The homeowner wasn’t too happy!
glad we can see "the inventor of the Diamond Formation"
calls plays in the Diamond and not be able to do what OU does with it….even though we “stole” it and are running a second hand version of it
I'm just getting at the fact that Holgorsen would be the first to tell you he invented the Diamond
yet if we take a short walk down to the corner of the street and meet with my friend “History” we can easily see that the Diamond was invented about 50 years ago.
I was just shooting smack at the losrs, I'm sooo happy Holgerson told the losu pokies to take a hike
If we see him arrested for stalking or something
I won’t be surprised, what a creepy dude

I can’t stand the man, but he continually gives me reasons to not like him even after the fact.
Gundys throwing a fit.....

I would like to see the replay

No! DON'T DO IT!
It’s a decision you will ultimately regret! Think of the children, scarab! Think of the children!
that's just the booze talkin
it’s burnt orange…when you see it again…you will remember how you hate it.

I NEVER cheer for the pokes....
Never never… My mama raised me better.

Last I checked...
This is still football! People get hit and they get hit hard. Next thing you know, we’ll stop keeping score. Come on!
I know this is a family-friendly site, but...
those types of leagues are BS! I’ll never let my kids take part in that stuff. What does that teach kids about sports? About life?! Doesn’t matter what happens as long as you tried? Please…
My kid got bored
Nothing worse than 12 kids batting
by OU JJ on Dec 29, 2010 10:58 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
They didn't keep outs
And even at 5 he was like “why are we keeping score if we don’t keep outs?”
by OU JJ on Dec 29, 2010 11:03 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Just looked...
And we’ll have Sean McDonough, Matt Millen, and Heather Cox, according to Wikipedia (take from it what you may).
They suck butt
Practically bowing to t-bone, talking about osu deserved to be in the big12 title game

I'm not gonna pretend to know
Why they choose certain guys over others. Just like I never understood the fascination with Jake Locker and I also never understood Jimmy Clausen. I also never understood why people were so concerned with the durability of Sam Bradford. Got hurt once, came back too soon and reinjured the same shoulder. People acted like he was some thing, wafey guy but when he weighed in I think he was a bit taller, but weighed the same as Tim Tebow.
I think they speak and people listen without reason.
Barfing on locker again at halftime
Saying he should have been #1 pick blah blah
by OU JJ on Dec 29, 2010 11:02 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
+1
I called the Locker bluff the first time they played Nebraska and I will gladly call it again. We might as well be giving Harris from the U the same type of hype. Luck is my number one and will continue to be.
They RG3 was a first rounder too
After tonight & OU… He really is a track guy playing QB…

Now we're giving Gundy credit for hiring an OC
That was Boone’s move from start to finish. Gundy had nothing to do with it!
