2018 College Football Thread: Local man buys some teenage champions a 4 for 4 (1 Viewer)

Team Canada in World Juniors  hockey (14)  doubled up the total points of the first half of the CheezIt Bowl (7).

 
Might help explain why it's time for a change.  Yeah, this first half is as bad as I've seen in a long time.   Tobias Oliver should be playing QB
Just turned on this TCU/Cal game.  Makes me yearn for the halcyon days of Paul Johnston football.  

Didn't these teams used to have offensive players? I think Cal just inserted a Male cheerleader at QB.

 
Overheard in control room

"He looks short."

"TCU might never score. "

"First and goal at 1 though"

TCU might never score. "

"Obviously short."

"TCU might never score. "

 
Weird stuff. He has the ball perfectly centered on field. Then runs to right hash. Then the whole kicker double switch. And then the kicker has to hook it from right hash and overcooks it.

 
The guy in the suit who fell into the official causing the penalty that would have nullified that interception had it gone for a TD was the SID according to some Twitter reports.  How does that happen?

 
How is it that a horrendous, crime ridden, poverty stricken town like Shreveport gets a bowl game, but progressive, booming cities like Portland or Seattle are left out?  Don't say the weather, because we just had a wonderful bowl game in Texas cancelled and I think they are playing in sub-freezing temps in NYC today.  Strange business.

It has a little bit of history.  Used to be a way for the now RIP southland conference to get a matchup against a decent conference opponent, usually SWC or SEC and still draw a decent crowd.  Being on I-20 it's a sub 3 hour drive from DFW/Houston and a good chunk of the SEC, has full-on gambling options and lots of hotel space.  

Portland and Seattle don't have near the driving proximity to power 5 and next 5 conferences.   It fits a niche.  I bet it probably outdraws most every bowl game up to 12/31.

Oh, I know.  Just being snarky.  I grew up in DFW and went to college in Jackson.  I made the drive along I-20 probably 20-30 times, so I know all too well about Shreveport, its large stadium, the river boats and my favorite track growing up, Louisiana Downs.  

But that is a cesspool of a city with some strange citizens.  Seattle had a bowl for about 3 years, it was not popular.

 
Portland, Oregon doesn't really have a football stadium befitting its current status as a major American city, does it? I assume where the MLS Timbers play would be way too small for a college bowl or NFL game?

Guess not.  :kicksrock:

I suppose I'll just have to travel to Mobile or Boca Raton with 10s of other people if I want to watch Akron vs MTSU.
