OPENTHREADBLOGLIVESKIDOO: Have Mercy!
It's New Year's Day. People aren't meant to be up before noon. Why are you? You some sorta masochist mangoblin?
Anyhoo, here's your open thread. We'll be... maybe we'll... look, don't call us, we'll call you. God, the sun's fucking bright this morning. Who turned up the sun, people? WE TOLD YOU "SUN TURNED DOWN." SHIT.
Keep y'all's voices down in the thread. Please. We got some headaches working today. We know you wanna yell because just Northwestern took the lead, but... please. Champagne doesn't work itself out. Least not before the next sunset.
(OPS' Outback Bowl and Cap-One Bowl previews there. Better you click than me write more.)

Let us begin
first thought of bowl season…worth writing anyway…I am a bit unsettled by how successful these triple option teams have been so far. I’m trying not to think about it yet.

I assure you that Navy's display is against a really awful defense.
No one ran on Missouri this year. Which would lead you to believe they have a great run defense…which is technically true. However, everyone threw the ball on them because their secondary is worse than awful/terrible/horrible.
Seriously. Really bad.
I would not look at that game as an indicator of how a team unfamiliar with defending the triple option will perform.

looks like its going to be a long hard fought game if jNW is going to pull this off.
guess I’m kind of stating the obvious. just looks like auburn has the edge by just a bit on both sides of the ball right now.
I still think
Fitz is a better coach then Chizik. But they can’t have more turnovers

Kafka is just doing his best Rick Stanzi impression.
after all he was the last QB to win the outback bowl…he just didn’t throw in pick in it. Much less two.
Wow
Northwestern is representing the Big Ten in usual fashion. I’m going to start chugging Drano watching this, I’ll score before Nothwestern
They took the bar, the whole fucking bar!
by recoveringfratguy on Jan 1, 2010 10:30 AM CST via mobile reply actions
really their offense has been effective. But a couple miscues have them down two TDs....
First INT isn’t Kafka’s fault. Second was really a strong defensive play although he did force it a little. If NW defense can actually see the field and do something then I think they may still have a shot.
Got one back
they’re moving the ball at will

by chitownhawkeye on Jan 1, 2010 10:35 AM CST up reply actions
NW looks like the better team so far...
…..with only the two picks really being the difference. If Kafka keeps throwing the ball in the RIGHT places, NW could take this one.
Might get interesting after all.
If it's not too much trouble, search your soul--and then ask yourself if maybe I might have a point.

Really? They should be prohibited from watching bowl games. By Federal Law.

Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.

You cannot intentionally hit the ball forward after a fumble.
If it was done while attempting to recover the ball, then it’s an accident and legal.

can this game get anymore dramatic? We played some heart wrenching games this year but jNW….congrats you win this battle.
