Board 8 > Board 8 Bowl Mania

(+) Yeah! (+)

I knew Temple was the favorite. but I wouldn't call them a lock. Their wins were against a combined 22-79 record. So I figured I'd go with Wyoming and the upset.

There is no such things as locks when it comes to mediocre non-BCS teams.

By the way, does anyone know if there's a way to see everyone's picks at a glance? I think I remember Yahoo's being able to do it but ESPN's doesn't seem to have a feature like that and it's really annoying.

I thought ESPN did this last year, don't know why it changed this year. Hopefully a full reveal will come, because I currently do not know if there is a way to see full picks.

I don't even want a full reveal of future picks, I just want to see who picked what in the Ohio/Utah State game and so on without having to look at each person's bracket. Ugh, this is completely terrible.

Oh.

Yeah, I don't think you can do that.

Is this what it's like to live in Idaho? I didn't know there were so many different types of potato commercials out there.

Ohio needs to step their game up.

--
-

Big defense needed here to set up good field position. Glad I only popped 3 points on Ohio here.

--
http://objection.mrdictionary.net/go.php?n=5364544

Pretty exciting end to this Ohio/Utah State game, that Ohio TD is going to be called back at the 1 yard line for sure. I'm glad I only have 5 points riding on this, since it wound up being the random toss-up I expected it to be.

I have 24 on this game. Ohio better not f*** this up.

--
-

Man, these SEC refs are dumb, lol.

--
-

Whaaaat, they didn't overturn that? I don't see any way he was in the endzone on that play.

That was the worst officiating ever. Good lord.

There was no fumble. And it wasn't a TD. But whatever. Ohio wins!

--
http://objection.mrdictionary.net/go.php?n=5364544

Man. That ending was making me nervous.

--
-

I'm 2/2 in my pool. I have to pick against the spread though, you guys aren't doing that right?

Temple -6.5
Ohio +3.5

I have San Diego State -5.5 tonight. Lousiana-Layfayette is actually a pretty good team and I wouldn't be surprised for them to win outright, but I'm putting my money on Ronnie Hillman. When in doubt, I always pick the team with the best player.

No spreads here, no. I had Temple to win but I would've taken Wyoming with any significant number of points because I basically had no idea on that one. Got Ohio right, they were underdogs anyway. Tonight I'm taking Louisiana-Lafayette on basically a wild hunch - I think the Sun Belt is starting to make a move towards not being the crappiest conference anymore and this is almost like a home game.

I got 23 points riding here. Ronnie needs to show up.

Lol at Sbell, first three games are 33, 34, 35. He's go the lead with a SDSU win. But he already lost a top pick.

--
http://objection.mrdictionary.net/go.php?n=5364544

Yeah I got 30 points on SDSU. These early game are what I have the most trouble on, but last year I started 6-0, but only ended going 22-13(finished 3rd in our group).

--
-

If I could go back I'd probably take LL to be honest, especially with the points. I took SDSU because I saw Hillman live when they played Army and he looked like a beast, but they don't really have any impressive wins. I picked against LL because they have lost 2 straight and don't really have any momentum. They looked pretty good in a loss to Oklahoma State at the beginning of the year. They lost by 30 but put up 34 points on what ended up being a decent defense. They haven't played anybody since then though, which is what made me hesitant. SDSU cut their teeth against Michigan, TCU, and Boise and are probably a better team for it despite losing all 3. One thing that worries me is that they lost to Wyoming despite Hillman rushing for 225 yards.

Some weird camera angles in this game. SDSU about to go up 7-0 though.

--

Hillman not off to the best start though, which is troubling.

--

Was not aware that SDSU's K is hitting on 38% of his field goals this year. That's a pretty important tidbit.

Looks like my last second worries were well-founded. I don't think I can sit through another second half comeback.

augh

even if SDSU scores 2 tds to come back and win 31-26, they don't cover by half a point

--
http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/6782/timj1.png

SDSU, your kicker is terrible.

--
-

Holy crap, that is probably the worst FG attempt I've ever seen. Like, I've seen random dudes kick FGs for fun at halftime to win prizes who could've booted that FG through better.

Ok so...SDSU has some of the worst special teams I have ever seen.

--
-

And pass defense.

--
-

Holy crap, those two catches that were both interfered with. Awesome.

WOOO!

5yd penalty was key. Can't believe it. Well that was a big hit to me.

--
http://objection.mrdictionary.net/go.php?n=5364544

Holy f***, what a great game.

good for the home team and one that didn't have a bowl win in 40+ years. I mean, I picked SDSU and I think that they were pretty high on my confidence ladder, but who cares

College kicker dropping a 50 yarder to win it

What the hell

--
HAIL THOMAS

Yeah, a college kicker making a 50-yard field goal off the left hash mark to win it, that was awesome.

Of course, I'm happy too because I'm 3 for 3 today! But I only have 9 points because I ranked all these matches low confidence. Probably the way to go since these last two were nailbiters.

I wish the bowl mania thing would list how many games each person has picked correctly too. God, this thing really sucks.

Hahahaha, every time I see the replay of the kicker right after he made it, it makes me laugh.

I just noticed, every team that won today is a team that hasn't won a bowl game in ages, or ever.
