Am I absolutely crazy, or did some of those guys yell "nobody touched him"? I mean, it's true nobody touched him, but do they not know that there's no down-by-contact in college football? WTF?

Also, Beef 'o' Brady Bowl? Are you F'ing kidding me? What's next, the pizza-hut-dot-com-forward-slash-main-forward-slash-menu-query-order-me thod-equals-online Bowl?

"Video Not Found" Already? Sheesh.

Beep boop boop beep.

Are they in a video game arcade or something?

Man, the second half of my comment up there is a train wreck.

That's the reason why I prefer to watch the games at home. If I wanted to sit around a bunch of drunken idiots shouting over each other, I'd go to more family reunions.

That was a pretty bad spot, though.

Much like the bcs bowl selection committee.
Seriously? People were interested in this game, or any before 2012?

All day long i shall be walking around shouting at anyone who crosses my path "You gotta review that!"

If I had a dollar for every time I heard "that qb sucks! He threw it out of bounds again!".

Bowl games are relevant?

(Srsly, some of the least relevant bowl games are after Jan 1. Exhibit A: Arkansas State v Northern Illinois in the GoDaddy.com Bowl, Jan 8.)

I like football.

I like booze.

I find nothing to like in that link.

Do they regret this more or less than they regret sitting on evidence of child rape?

THIS. 2012 is looking like it should be a good season...

/Go Herd

There are only 11 conferences, and this game features the champions of two of them. In the traditional bowl sense, that makes it more relevant than THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.

Beef 'O'Brady's Bowl? Really? How's that look on a ring?

\played in the "Snap-into-a-Slim-Jim" Bowl in 1997
\\oh man!

I'll never understand the stupidly/hypocrisy of it all: They stick a microphone near a crowd and/or athletes at a sporting event so the audience can hear the "real" action as it happens then they get all apologetic and regretful when it picks up a bunch of F and S bombs. WTF did they expect?

It's the Beef'O'Brady Bowl St. Petersburg so you don't confuse it with the other, lesser Beef'O'Brady Bowl Sheboygan.

Sounded like some serious spray-tan poisoning in that crowd.

Sounds pretty standard for the student section in a college game.

I watched parts of that game last night... and good god, that had to have been the shiattiest bowl game I've ever seen in my life. I would have turned it off, but it actually reached the trainwreck stage where I couldn't turn away. It seemed every play had some sign of ineptitude: a drop, a dumb penalty, a missed block, an errant throw, or the 4th and 5 play in the final minutes when FIU forgot to cover any receivers downfield. The best part was the fight at the end (good punch by the Marshall guy, and that dude totally had it coming). I mean, I realize that both of these programs have made impressive turnarounds in recent years, and I should congratulate them for getting into a bowl. I'll just assume that both teams must have been better than this all through the regular season, because this level of play looked FCS-caliber at best.

ESPN,

Please mic the crowd at Rupp Arena should you ever have that walking piece of trash Bob Knight call a UK game. I'm certain the fans would love to share its opinions with the viewing public.
 
2011-12-21 11:00:09 AM
In other news, there are FIU football fans.
 
2011-12-21 11:15:52 AM
i wasnt sure it was FIU till I heard the esse's and chongas at about 30 seconds

Are you calling me a term paper?

Back in the day you used to be able to unplug your center channel speaker and get ESPN college basketball with just court noise and crowd noise -- no Dick Vitale!!!!! Just the squeaks of shoes, the whistles, the fans...it was AWESOME.

This is better because it's more profane. But no-announcer-college-hoops was dope too.

They're airing crap post NYD as well to piggyback off the bigger bowls now. Basically if the team finished lower than third in conference play, the game is going to suck.

Also this year I'm pirating a stream for the Alabama vs LSU rematch. I'm morbidly curious to see Alabama win just for the lulz, but I don't want to give anyone ratings for a rematch.

I agree with the drunks. That WAS a horrible spot.
 
2011-12-21 11:18:57 PM
F**k espn

I swear to God, if you could condense all these guys down into one guy, it'd be the guy I always end up sitting next to at the bar...and he's screaming this shiat at the TV.

Exactly where is the non-drunk spectator section, subby?
