Alamo Bowl Open Thread

As for ratings, don't bowls also consider how well the fan base travels?  If so that's a huge plus for Penn St.

Not that I have anything against you, nor do I hate Joepa, but the Aggies are in the Big 12 and I have a nephew there (although he's no longer a cadet).

Should be interesting... Texas A&M is so sporadic, you don't know whether you're in for an ass-kicking, or a team that won't even bother to show up. Maybe you'll get both, the Aggies will show up for the second and fourth quarters or maybe for 10 minutes of the whole game.

If their running game gets going - if McGhee (qb) can run his offense, the Aggies will score some points.

KICK. BALL. THRU. POSTS.
URGH

ick.

UGHH!

A&M is sporadic. There's a reason they've lost five games. They have damned good athletes, but they have the ability to start doing stupid things, too.

Although maybe those have stopped with Dennis Franchione being fired.

Oh, heres Morelli again. Sigh

ESPN isn't showing any replays on these damned penalties. They're showing crowd shots, or shots of some guy who did or didn't touch a live football, or talking out their ass.

This production sucks eggs.

We have the momentum and the eye of the tiger!

What conference are these refs from?

flag again, for pass interference even though the ball sailed over the receivers head by a long way.

PSU at their 30

quarterback keeper picks up the first. PSU at around the 9.

these officials SUCK.

last timeout, 27 secs to half.

3rd and goal, around the six.

I haven't checked in since the last game.  Where to begin?  I'll keep it short.

Morelli--graduate already.  Missed receivers, tunnel vision ignoring wide-open receivers, etc.  How many times have I yelled at the field or television over the last two seasons?

PSU in general--shake off the cobwebs and play tough.  A&M has everything to play for--a new coach, a new beginning, etc. next season.  PSU has a bit less to play for, unless Joe/the powers that be play Clark and/or Devlin a bit more.  Sure, next season looks bright--but so did this season.  I'll believe it when they've won 'em all.

And--a Cornhusker poster here?  I thought we chased you folks away in 2002.  ;-)

be interesting to see how much the Ags throw the ball in the second half.

As has been said above, what was with Morelli's almost pick-six throwing it into the facemask of the L lineman?

And then double coverage INT?

Morelli--please.  Just go away.  Maybe if I leave a note on your car.  I don't know if your linemen will rally around you....

I know I've said it before, but how I miss Michael Robinson.  Sure, some his throws were Morelli-esque, but he had the legs and leadership that Morelli simply does not.  Defenses salivate for Morelli.  Defenses lost sleep because of Robinson.

I can't stand the aura currently emanating from New England, what with the Sox, Patriots and possibly the Celtics this year.  Add the fact that Brady is a Wolverine, and I don't know if I'd shed a tear if a glacier slid down from Canada and covered that portion of the country.  :)

I wonder if the tire was from an off-road dump truck.

I wonder how many neighbors' windows Mr. Morelli had to pay to replace.

They have Lane.

There's a missed first down.

They have a history of giving up on games.

At least it was a semi-nail-biter.

God bless the internet.

Anyone see Bowden complain about the penalty on his guy for flipping into the endzone?  And his claim that no one gets penalized for it except for his guy?  And I thought Joe was disconnected with reality.

And Florida State still has a team of thugs.  When I was at the Orange Bowl, I couldn't get over what jerks they were.  Against Kentucky, they're as bad.  Bowden may have the wins, but his team is no more classy than the University of Miami.
