Okay - Bowl Games!

Which has been the best so far? Which has been the most disappointing?

Purdues almost heroic comeback against Georgia was a great bowl game! (I had to listen the the end on the radio - was out in the wilderness).

How 'bout them Trojans?

1. Here's my picks...

Best: I guess the Rose Bowl. The other games were blowouts.

Worst: Gator Bowl. WV just embarrassed themselves. For a team that finished so strongly in the Big East, and did mediocre in the BCS, the Mounties stunk it up today. A combonation of turnovers, lackluster offense and an overworked defense made for a miserable viewing experience for this WVU fan. We now have one of the worst bowl records in the NCAA.

2. Agree with the Capital One bowl

Almost a reversal of fortunes from the UGA/Purdue match-up in the 2000 Outback bowl. What an exciting finish.

3. I wasn't paying attention to the bowl games

But I'm glad Purdue won. My neighbor is a Purdue alum. He's normally reserved. Yesterday he got mad at this wife for not getting him some FACE PAINT to match the Purdue colors! I'm a HUUUUUUGE sports fan, but I've NEVER considered painting my face under any circumstances. However, when the Fish beat the Cubs I was considering shooting off some fireworks.

5. Oops

My neighbor will probably commit suicide. On edit: I guess when someone says "almost heroic" I should get the hint.

7. Close. It went into OT.

I turned it off after they were down by three and Georgia recovered the onside kick with 1:29 left and only one Perdue timeout. Next I knew it was in OT, but Ga. won.
