Nonetheless, the last of three games Saturday. My dad seemed really happy to be bowl questing even though this game stunk. Just to have football of any kind on TV instead of the shows my mother watches was a welcome relief, albeit short as we were leaving Monday.
Troy dominated Ohio U 48-24. Troy jumped out to an early lead and cruised. I fell asleep during the first quarter (Chinese food and bourbon reaction) but did reach my Bowl Quest requirement by watching the 2nd and 3rd quarters completely. I think dad stayed up to finish this one off. Like I said, he was into it - more so than the approximate 2,000 fans in attendance inside the Super Dome.
Also, this is where I usually make some smart ass remark about the MAC having too many teams in bowl games but what choice do we have when there needs to be 70 teams to fill the bowl schedule. Also, Northern Illinois played well in Boise so I'll give the MAC a break for now.
Next game: Beef O'Brady's Bowl Tuesday night with Louisville taking on Southern Miss. It will be interesting to see how many Brett Favre mentions the ESPN commentators make following Favre's possible last game on Monday Night Football and his having played at Southern Miss. I'm going with 9, probably conservative.
Did you see the story about the Southern Miss/Louisville players getting in a fight at some beach party Sunday. Really? Cone on.
ReplyDeleteI heard about it on ESPN radio today, it was at a dance contest. Has to be the weakest pre-game fight in the history of pre-game fights.
