    In light of recent events involving All-American linebacker Manti Te’o, the Brooklyn Cyclones have announced that June 21st will be Fictitious Friday at MCU Park…

    Anyone who purchases one ticket at regular price will be allowed to bring their make believe significant-other to the ballpark free of charge. Fans will also have the chance to draw a picture of their girlfriend, because obviously something came up and she couldn’t make it, so that their friends can finally see what she looks ...

    GT's Redshirt FR QB getting the snaps, looks immeasurably better than T Wash, at least as a specimen.


    Tevin Washington is the worst passer I've ever seen. Vad Lee struggles with consistency but he's young, should improve. Plus he has a badass name.

    Washington is definitely in the mix, both today and in recent history.

    USC is setting the gold standard for not showing up to play. 5 first downs so far in 50 minutes of football.

    How much of a leash does Lane Kiffin have, anyway?

    The whole Sun Bowl experience was a PR debacle for USC, who were too open about not wanting to be there. Then they lost, badly. Yes, some of it was that Max Wittek had a bad game, but seriously - he looked like no one had ever really coached him on how to be a QB. Isn't there something there that a coaching staff is supposed to accomplish, given someone who seems to have the appropriate physical tools?

    How much of a leash does Lane Kiffin have, anyway?

    As of a month ago USC had the consensus #1 recruiting class in the country despite the scholarship limits. I imagine his leash will be closely related to how well he keeps that class together and how his next one looks.

    Yeah, but they're going to be coached by Lane Kiffin.

    I think I have seen two LSU games this year, and in both of them their play calling at the end has been terrible.

    Miss State looks awful. They seem like they thought just being from the SEC and showing up would mean they'd win. Hey guys, you're not the reason why teams fear the SEC.

    That pass by Boyd on 4th and 16 last night was incredible.

    I think Lane Kiffin has to be fired. What happened with the entire team shitting all over the Sun Bowl and El Paso (which, granted, is a shitty city) was extremely unbecoming. And then only being able to score 7 points against Georgia Tech? This is a team that gave up 49 points vs. MTSU and 50 vs. UNC.

    Recruiting doesn't matter if you can't develop the players. And let's be honest, USC basically recruits itself. It's not like the next coach isn't going to be able to get top 10 classes as well.

    I think the Outback Bowl matchup seems more exciting than the Capital 1 bowl. Nebraska is such an ugly team to watch when they're playing someone with a good pass defense.

    The Capital 1 bowl being on field turf is ridiculous.

    Me too. That's the one I chose to start watching and then flipping from it. Michigan hasn't looked good so far, this might get out of hand.

    Penn State and Ohio State being ineligible is the easy answer. As a Purdue fan, I figured this would be the worst team to ever play in a New Year's Day bowl game. Nothing so far has disabused me of that notion.

    Oklahoma State is a very solid team. I think that Texas winning @OkSt may be their best win of the year, even better than the win vs. Oregon State.

    I miss the days of my youth when there were bowl games - IIRC the Outback - that started at 10am.

    I would be thrilled if the Big 10 could somehow sweep all three of these.

    According to my transitive calculations, Wisconsin is about 60 points better than Alabama.

    I always think of the Outback and Capital One Bowls as interchangeable
    .at least since they took the Citrus Bowl monicker away.

    Terrible sequence for Nebraska...comfortably in fg range, they spend three plays going backwards them get a bad snap/hold.

    With the display that Purdue put on in the first half it is clear why the number one team in the country had such a hard time beating them...

    I think this is just bizarre. Being a big 12 fan if my team isn't playing I'll usually watch a Big 12 game over another league, like say OK St vs Purdue, even if the other league has "better" teams facing off. To me this seems to cannibalize your secondary audience.

    The Georgia vs Nebraska game is a win/win for me, if Georgia wins those jerks in Nebraska lose, if Nebraska wins I gain in my bowl pool - confidence points compared to the other top teams.

    Not much else to do when ESPN has the rights to all these games. They won't pair anything against the BCS games later, so its either move the game to a different day or kick off four games by 1:30 ET.

    Not to argue that Ga Tech has a good defense, but I would like to point out that UNC finished 10th in the nation in scoring offense. They weren't bad.
