It's January 1 2, which means that the Big Ten is taking over the bowl game landscape. Penn State is currently getting destroyed by Houston on ESPNU. If you care to watch actual competitive football, you have three options:
* Ohio State vs. Florida on ESPN2
* Nebraska vs. South Carolina on ESPN
* Michigan State vs. Georgia on ABC
Here's your thread to talk about any and all of them. The usual open threading rules apply: no links to illegal online streams, no porn, no religion, no politics, no slurs, etc.

rob boldin just led an impressive touchdown drive
ive now seen it all
I don't believe you
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
After throwing an incredible deep ball.
I turned it on at ESPN3 just in time to seem him sacked on 2nd & 9, and nearly pissed myself when that pass was completed.

Also, Sparty just had a swing pass that turned into a safety.
lulz
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
That was a hell of a defensive play by Georgia
You start to appreciate in that same situation Iowa would probably give it to Coker straight ahead…

Yeah, there is such a thing as being too clever for your own good.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
That swing pass with today's fast defenses is not the gainer it was 10-15 years ago
Great if you want to play dink and dunk but that’s something you throw outside the 30.

Did you watch any of the Rose Bowl parade?
I always find the stuff that’s happening away from the parade more interesting. Roy Rodgers float with a bunch of horseback riders pulls, and some poor SOB’s horse in the back of herd freaks out and throws the rider to the pavement. NBC’s camera sure pulled away from that fast.

that game was so painful
i was told by the local experts that beer sales would be cut off in the fourth quarter, so with about a minute left in the third, i chugged my remaining beer and sprinted up the stands to the concessions to buy two more. literally the second i got there, the manager comes out and yells “no more beer sales”. sums up the northwestern bowl experience perfectly.
Oh, so you were there. Even cooler.

yeah
i went with a bunch of texas fans, who all wore purple to support NU against those douchebag aggies. we got these cheap general admission seats in the upper deck. midway through the first quarter, we were in the concourse looking to move up a level, and a bowl representative comes up to us and says they need more purple on the northwestern side to make it look better for TV. so we got to move up to the 10th row, 40 yard line. pretty strong.
That's awesome.
I love seats down close like that. You can hear all the pops, cussing, grunts, yelling, etc.

Did I hear at the beginning of the MSU game that one of their starters wasn't starting due to a violation of team rules?
and then he was on the field within the first drive.
That’s the sort of hard discipline that’ll teach that guy a lesson.
That’s the sort of “discipline” Dantonio likes. Also, remember when he played the guy who got out of jail a couple weeks later?

I think that the talent gap has widened between the SEC/Bigten
Since we last played the SEC. I think it will continue to widen
The B1G just wasn't very good this year.
Neither was the SEC, really, outside of their top 3 or 4 teams. Before South Carolina lost their star player, they were considered a national title contender. UGA is a surprise team that was talking about firing their coach after 3 weeks. Meanwhile, Sparty is just as overrated as most imagined, and Nebraska is losing only because they fell asleep with 9 seconds left in the half.
The talent gap is not that wide.

An offense that can throw 90 times a game.
They’re strong up front, but they’re not getting enough time to get to the QB. It’s the same problem Iowa had with Mizzou last year. An issue that is exacerbated by starting a QB that can’t complete a pass.
by The Mexican't on Jan 2, 2012 1:51 PM CST up reply actions

and Northwestern and their dogshit secondary ended up in the TicketCity vs Houston?

Yeah, and it's probably a least a little more extreme for a few reasons:
1) Texas mothers probably have more children on average (more conservative people tend to do so, as do Hispanics), and
2) Texans are (I would bet) younger on average (and thus more likely to be of child-rearing age.

Another
One Monday morning as I was “working”
By BHGP I chanced to stray
I saw a post, B1G fate bewailing
As on the screen I read, dismayed
I am a native from Kinnick’s homeland
But banished now from my native door
They stole me from my Hawkeye parents
And from the team that I do adore
We’ve been losers at dusty Tempe
At hot Miami and the Bayou Plains
At Pasadena and at cursed Ticket City
At all these settlements we’ve been behind the chains
But of all faces of condemnation
as, from higher station, we always fail
Against the SEC I have found no equal
Excessive tyranny each year prevails
For nine long years we were beastly treated
No crystal trophies in our halls we store
Our pride from mocking was lacerated
And oft times tainted with the graft of yore
And many a man from downright obliteration
forsake all hope and courageous deed
And Captain Delaney he had us mangled
All at the goal lines of the SEC
Like the flamboyant Ducks and neutered Longhorns
We were oppressed under the southeastern yoke
Till the NCAA lying there in ambush
Did deal this tyrant his mortal stroke
My fellow prisoners be exhilarated
That all such monsters such a death may find
And when from bondage we are liberated
Our former sufferings will fade from mind

It also makes it significantly more unlikely.

In my honest opinion.

Why? Their job is still to stop the other team.
Their role doesn’t change. If they do their job well they can put the kicker in a long distance FG situation, which is the same thing you’d be hoping for by moving the ball back 25 yards.
Moving it back solves nothing and, probably makes OT worse.

You know what would make me enjoy New Years Day +1 bowls?
Iowa playing in one. Though I am looking forward to the Badgers vs. the Nike Cyborgs.
Sparty needs to finish this so I can turn my attention to the Rose Bowl.

The Rose Bowl looks in parts like it’s held up by chewing gum and prayers.

I agree
The history is amazing. Some parts of the press box, as well as the seats, look just shitty, though. Not as bad as the LA Coliseum, though. UCLA is cash-strapped as hell right now, though, and it’s not like the Rose Bowl is horrible (looking at you, old Orange Bowl in the ’90s).

If I could have Iowa model any team's offensive style.
It would be Wisky. I know we’re supposedly similar, but the running back continuity they have is unreal.

Hmm, I think it'd be funny to be watching the sky cam feed as it fell. I wonder if they have footage of that.
