Kramerica Industries Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Florida State has one of the most athletic d-lines in the country. Jeff Driskel didn't have an ounce of success on designed QB run plays either. The reason Florida beat them was because of Gillislee's fantastic night, and that itself was thanks to the FSU D-line not being at its stout finest. Lynch trying to power it up the middle has been nothing more than a concession of down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still MIGHTY Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Yeah it was decently close for a little while. Those two turnovers killed any NIU momentum.And at the end, Florida State is just more talented than NIU. Bigger, better, stronger, faster athletes at every position. | ANAÂ | LAA | LARÂ | LAL | ASU | CSULB |Â USMNTÂ | USWNT |Â LAFCÂ | OCSC |Â MAN UTDÂ | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 USC has gone from #1 preseason to losing to a losing team in the Sun Bowl.But hey, teams play hard in the Bowls right?

rams80 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I saw a lot of trying in bowls this year.You mean the ones in which a bunch of bad Big Ten teams actually hung around SEC foes? Yeah, I don't think the SEC teams gave much of a crap in today's games.

Funky Bunky Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm pretty pleased with Lynch's bad game. I thought he sounded pretty cocky last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Jordan Lynch looked like how Tim Tebow looked when he faced a really good defense.Couldn't move the ball up the middle, couldn't connect on any passes 8+ yards down the field...and the end result was a hammering.

Raysfan12 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 NIU didn't play too bad of a game, it was just the turnovers that did them. Today is the Sugar Bowl and somehow, Louisville outgains Florida in the attendance game (in tickets).http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/blogs/swamp-things/os-uf-university-of-florida-struggling-to-unload-tickets-to-the-2013-sugar-bowl-20121214,0,7379852.post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cola Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 The way tickets are allotted to each school needs a major overhaul. I think I went over this before, but it is basically more expensive (in most cases) and my seats are worse if I order my tickets through the school. The basically (for every bowl) issue them the upper middles and then the lower corners. Nothing between the goallines under the lowers...the bowl games themselves keep and sell those tickets.Not only that, but the Gamecock Club (like most others, I am sure) has a cap on ticket amount that can be ordered depending on your donor level...so I can only get 2 tickets. In most cases, I have 4-8 people going with me and need more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 That Orange Bowl really just summed up how lame the bowl system is in general. Two mediocre teams playing listless football on the supposed "big" stage with absolutely nothing of value on the line. I can count on one hand the number of well-played, fun-to-watch BCS bowls I've seen during the BCS' whole existence. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can count on one hand the number of well-played, fun-to-watch BCS bowls I've seen during the BCS' whole existence.That's bit hyperbolic. In 13 or whatever seasons of the BCS you've only seen 5 good games? I'm the first one on the "every bowl game is meaningless" train, but there's been plenty of entertaining BCS games in the time it's been around. Actually I though the NIU-FSU game was entertaining in the first half (before I went to sleep). NIU was clearly outmatched, but the feeling and tension in games like that that exists on every play isn't found in a game where the two teams are on the same physical level. That's the way I felt watching Boise State-Oklahoma, Utah-Alabama, West Virginia-Georgia etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make the schools buy up all the tickets that go unsold which I believe the Big Ten takes out of the bowl money they receive that year so every school ends up getting less of the bowl revenue.

thespleenenator Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Then what's the point of watching any 2+ loss team during the regular season?Loyalty or addiction to the sport.Because I love watching football, that's why. Isn't that reason enough? Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
