IT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW: IOWA TO FACE SOUTH CAROLINA IN OUTBACK BOWL

I'd Click Her Clack

We finally have confirmation of what we've known for two weeks: Iowa has accepted an invitation to face the South Carolina Gamecocks in the Outback Bowl. Bienvenido a Tampa.

The announcement came at approximately 5:00 CST, almost a full hour later than planned. The incomparable Jon Miller has reported the delay was due to indecision by the Citrus (suck it, Capital One) Bowl, which apparently was seriously considering choosing the Hawks over Michigan State. What Jon doesn't know, however, is that Outback Bowl reps spent much of that hour on the phone with the BHGP staff. In the wake of last year's PR disaster and subsequent MANCOTT, Outback reps wanted to guarantee this year's festivities would be far more successful. We're not allowed to discuss the negotiations, but we can say this: A lifetime supply of Bloomin' Onions is enough to buy our silence.

As it is, OSU has apparently bought earned a BCS spot, likely at the Sugar Bowl. MSU will play Georgia in the Citrus Bowl. LTP has confirmed Northwestern will face Missouri in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Alamo Bowl (if you want to gloat, might I suggest sending an e-card?)

We'll have far more on South Carolina in the weeks to come, but as a quick primer: They dropped their last two games by a combined score of 87-20, they just fired their offensive line and quarterback coaches, they aren't going to replace either coach until after the bowl game, and their sometimes-starting quarterback nearly got OPS fired. If anyone ever deserved a January 1 bowl bid, it's this team.

UPDATE: Wisconsin-Florida State in the Champs Sports Bowl. Minnesota-Kansas in the Insight. No word yet on the Motor City Bowl, which was supposed to be between the MAC champ and the #7 Big Ten team but lost both tie-ins when Buffalo opted for the International Bowl and the BXI ran out of teams. I'm hoping beyond hope for Notre Dame-Ball State.

We've got a couple of weeks

Let’s change that “nearly” to “definitely”.
Given the material to work with, anything that doesn’t result in the FCC getting involved will be a disappointment.

Funny quote from LTP:

It sounds like something you would read on BHGP, except I think he’s serious:

Congratulations Alamo Bowl for securing possibly the most intriguing non-BCS bowl game match-up loaded with storylines with two top 25 teams.

Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon....

He admits they

are likely going to be double digit underdogs, but right now, I don’t care about the name calling from last week. I want them to win. I want every team in the B10 to win. The conference needs it.

Oh. And I want ND to get crushed. They’re terrible and are rewarded with a trip to Hawaii? Fuck that.

The catfight was fun for awhile but got to be exhausting. And yes, ND eats shit.

Hawks in Tampa

Great to see the Hawks going to Tampa. The Cats deserved the spot, but the Hawks have a history of showing up and are a lot better for TV, and that’s what matters in the bowl biz.

In case anyone didn't care to look

And really – why should anyone care about a bowl game in Detroit? But the Motor City Bowl stuck with the MAC in C.Mich and picked up Sun Belt powerhouse that is Florida Atlantic.

That’s right, the BigXI lost out on it’s final bowl tie-in to FAU. May the (further) mockery Zook and DickRod commence…

"I hesitate to even ask this, but… your pee isn’t yellow? Unless it’s practically clear (that’s how you know when your body is properly hydrated, in case you’re interested), I’d suggest going to a doctor. And hey- there’s nothign wrong with a good "golden" stream, right? There’s a good reason human beings’ insides are red! "

long time reader, first time commenter

just wanted to say hi there and go hawks . . . and go cocks.

before you beat me up let me explain. i was born in cedar rapids and am a huge hawks fan. i have a ridiculous number of cousins and uncles/aunts still living there. and my grandparents. but i live in the dirty and went to usc (not the university of spoiled children in southern cali). i’ll be at the game cheering for both sides. my two favorite teams! all year i pull for the hawks and i read this blog – love it, funny as shit. will be hard to read your sarcasm applied to one of my favorite teams but i’ll power through.

it will be great to see greene and stanzi against some of the gamecocks. mckinley, brinkley, cook – both e and j, should be quite a defensive battle. fortunately smelley should not see playing time (please god please) as he would just love to throw the ball to the hawks.

i haven’t searched yet – when was the last time the hawks played the cocks? ever?

thanks and i guess let the lambasting begin . . .

go hawks! go cocks!
