ESPN Bowl Mania

[griz37]

ESPN.com has this contest every year where you pick the winners of the bowls. I just created a group called anygivensaturday.com. If any of you guys want to join feel free.

[OhioHen]

I'm in. Another chance to show how little I know!!! xlolx xlolx

[TexasTerror]

I'm in as well...

KatFans.com is hosting a group, Bearkat Nation. Open to the public!

[spelunker64]

I'm In

[Grizzaholic]

Not to be negative, but I am NOT in. Anything to do with ESPN and the BOWL's is not what I want to be associated with. After the playoff games this year that have been on ESPN2, I think I have got my fill of the Bowl games.

[mistersykes]

I would have, but that would require an ESPN account. Frankly, I'm super-bored with the BCS right now. It has ceased to be exciting. The one with USC and Michigan should be fun to watch though.

[MaroonMafia]

I'm in!

[B&G]

Even though I hate the bowl system I am in. I'm just too damned competitive.

[furpal87]

I'm in, too, just gotta figure out who some of these bowl teams are!

[GeauxColonels]

I'm in.....I was just one pick short of winning the FCS tournament contest....damn you Minutemen....DAMN YOU ALL TO HECK!

[OhioHen]

Many of them moved to the BS level because they couldn't compete for a championship in CS!!
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

[furpal87]

xlolx They'd rather get smoked by the big boys then win a championship on the highest legitimate level of champions!!xlolx

Most of them never won anything! :D :D :D

[furpal87]

I got a quick 28 tonight! GO HORNED FROGS!! BIG WIN!!!

[OhioHen]

I got a quick 28 tonight! GO HORNED FROGS!! BIG WIN!!!

Good enough for a 5th place tie. It's only one game, but I have to celebrate while I can - I picked this as my sure thing 32 pointer - all alone in first place!!! :D

[AZGrizFan]

Damn. I only gave it a 26. But at least I'm 1-0. :thumbsup:

[chiapet9]

wow. 12 new people joined in on the fun since the first bowl game.



how about oregon's new helmets? eeeeek.

[chiapet9]

you can definitely tell the difference in playing ability in the early bowl games. byu and oregon have punted the ball about 10 times already and its only the first quarter. still no score - lots of dropped balls by the receivers. definitely not michigan/ohio state.

I have BYU with 27 points riding on this one! :eek: :eek: :eek:

[chiapet9]

ryan leaf just made a shout out to the GRIZ on espn2.:hurray:

eh....i have Oregon (which is looking more grim by the minute) but i've only got 2 points riding on this one....i think

[furpal87]

So who does everyone have in the Rice-Troy game tonight? I got Rice.

[TexasTerror]

Grew up a big Rice fan, even rooted for the Owls against SHSU in my youth...

Got to go with the Owls! :thumbsup:

This is the lone bowl game I'll watch this bowl season...

[BigApp]

So who does everyone have in the Rice-Troy game tonight? I got Rice.

why wouldn't a Paladin side with the men of Troy?

[furpal87]

I tend to side with the smaller, academic private colleges.

[BigApp]

like Wake Forest?

[furpal87]

You got it!!!

[furpal87]

So, how about that Hawaii QB last night? WOW!!

[chiapet9]

So, how about that Hawaii QB last night? WOW!!


yeah - over 500 passing yards!!! that's great....i hope he sticks around for another year before declaring himself eligible for the draft.

[furpal87]

Interesting game tonight: The bigger conferences finally get into the swing of things with a game against each other. FSU vs UCLA. WHo ya got?

[AZGrizFan]

Just changed my vote from FSU to UCLA. Don't ask me why, other than FSU sucks. Only 6 points riding on it anyways.

I'm currently in 47,093 place. Yehaw.

[furpal87]

3 games today could change the standings big today!!

[AZGrizFan]

Well. Much to my good fortune, it apparently didn't let me change my vote, so I got credit for my INITIAL guess of Fla State. I've now moved up to 38,250 place.

Watch out, I'm on a roll!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[chiapet9]

is anyone watching Minnesota hand over the game to Texas Tech.


Tech has come back from a 38-14 gap....to bring the game to within a field goal with almost 3 minutes left. I just hope Minnesota can hold on to the ball - or score...or something....

[chiapet9]

so Minnesota has let Tech come back...game is tied - will go into overtime. this is the saddest thing ever. I think Minnesota's defense stayed in the locker room after halftime to eat ham biscuits and deviled eggs or something...geez.

[chiapet9]

how do you blow a 38-7 lead?

[chiapet9]

and Minnesota just lost. what a joke. i'd fire my defensive coordinator.

[furpal87]

Wild day I'll take 4-1 even thought that Clemscum loss hurt.

[Zoo]

[furpal87]

Well, I got up to the Top 10 of the group, those points from the Chokie Hokies whould have been nice!

[chiapet9]
