I don't have a problem with Auto bids but there needs to be a qualifier behind them like the non AQ teams have. Win your conference and finish in the top 16 to get a bid. Winning a dogshit conference isn't enough.

And how do you judge conference strength? Hyperbole? Games played East of the mighty Miss? Legends and Leaders?

 

[bigtroyjon]

Connecticut might lose by 80.

Oklahoma's WR's look bigger than UCONN's D-linemen.

 

[Amory]

I'm gonna drink every time OU gets a first down. By the time the games over there's no way I'll remember the game

Anything west coast is eliminated from contention.

I'm not talking about conference strength, I'm saying a team that win's its conference only gets in if they finish in the top 16 of the BCS.

brutal day for B1G today.

 

[Get'sMad]

does Sean McDonough have any sort of personality?

is there anyway he's NOT a robot?

 

[MWS Natural]

Oklahoma's WR's look bigger than UCONN's D-linemen.

Oklahoma's ball boys are bigger than UCONN's linebackers.

 

[bluemax]

Jay Stricherz is reffing this game?

Lololololololololololol.

I'm putting the under on bad calls at 3.

Bowl game records doesn't mean much.

stopped Uconn on 4th and inches.

 

[Talon]

Ding Ding Ding

 

[BertramCooper]

So the Big Ten sucked in bowl games this year when everyone thought the conference was fairly strong.

And last year, when the conference was supposedly weak, they actually did really well in bowl games.

It just goes to show that a conference's strength is almost impossible to determine until bowl season.

 

[Kevtones]

God, why does the game have to be on the 10th. I want to gloat!

 

[jakncoke]

I still cant believe they called PI on us that one play. fucking zebras

 

[Buckethead]

It's okay buddy, the Seahawks will win tomorrow.

 

[perfectchaos007]

This contest just isn't even fair. Dear Lord....

This is OU's free pass to get out of their 0-5 BCS slump. Way to go BCS...

 

[bigtroyjon]

Think i figured it out, the UCONN band uniforms and football uniforms were mixed up and it's actually the band members who are out there playing on the lines.

 

[Lunchbox]

not a shutout ! wooo

 

[jakncoke]

TAINT :lol

 

[cruets]

hey now

 

[Amory]

YES

 

[marathonfool]

@Jake_Trotter

Officially UConn sold just over 4,600 tickets for the Fiesta Bowl. Allotment was 17,500. about 1 hour ago via web

UConn gonna lose money.

Are you saying that the band is out on the field?

 

[Lunchbox]

:lol almost stripped and then sacked

this oklahoma team is shit. if uconn can score one more they'll start panicking

The system has finally worked

 

[Subitai]

brutal day for B1G today.

That is an understatement. Today was a massacre. I still blame it all on McGloin.

 

[Lonestar]

@Jake_Trotter

UConn gonna lose money.

I thought it was the big boys protecting their piggybank???

 

[cruets]

I thought it was the big boys protecting their piggybank???

its the bowl chairmans protecting their piggybank. they put on one game of year, force the universities to buy the tickets to the games in huge allotments and its all tax free.

 

[Subitai]

I thought it was the big boys protecting their piggybank???

It is more the big boys protecting their competitive advantages. Sometimes that comes in the form of access, other times it's money.

 

[mre]

Isn't UConn technically a "big boy"?

 

[Amory]

I wanted to go and support UConns first BCS appearance, truly I did, but honestly how big a fan you are doesnt matter much when you just can't afford a flight across the country, a hotel, rental car, and the tickets.

Sucks.

[Jeff-DSA]

Uconn hanging in, but this would be much more interesting if Boise St. was in there.

 

[mYm|17|]

Boise st. beat OU already

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Boise st. beat OU already

Sure, but sometimes teams play each other again.

 

[HeySeuss]

Damn I fell asleep at halftime to find out Wisconsin blew it. Now I'm afraid that the Buckeyes chances just became slim and none.

 

[Knux-Future]

WTF at the BigEast commercial..

 

[Subitai]

in basketball

No he's right. Uconn is in a conference that gets more bowl money even if they're going in the red for the one they're in tonight.

 

[coldvein]

green man in the crowd baby.

 

[mYm|17|]

green man in the crowd baby.

must be a hipster

 

[jakncoke]

holy shit :lol

 

[GhaleonEB]

Amusing quarter so far. No one goes anywhere, then BAM.

 

[mre]

They're in the Big East, an AQ conference.

I think OU just put it away.
