Game Thread: Outback Bowl: South Carolina vs. Michigan

[BamaJama17]

USCe wins 33-28 to finish 11-2. SEC goes 2-1 today.

The state of South Carolina was very well represented in its bowl games yesterday and today. Glad to see Michigan take it on the chin. :biggrin:

Don't particularly like the 'ole ball coach', but after the screw job they tried to give SC, I'm particularly glad they came back and won.

Maybe the game will be good but the Rose and Orange are about the worst games in the BCS era imo.

The Cap 1 and Outback turned out to be solid matchups.

UCONN was 7-5 and unranked but went to the Orange Bowl against Oklahoma. At least NIU is ranked and only has 1 loss. Still, they don't deserve to be there IMO.

Congrats to USC on the win! Always glad to see an SEC OOC win.

I thought it was the Fiesta and it was bad.

You're right, it was the Fiesta. Still, how a 7-5 team can make it to a BCS game is laughable.

I almost feel I need to ask for forgiveness for missing Clowney'*****. WOW!!!!!!

 

[Al A Bama]

My goodness...

Mine too! Goodness gracious! That has to be one of the very top plays of the year or decade or century and especially after the refs goof up. Clowney is a stud big time. The only thing that would make it better is if he was doing it for the Tide.

If that back wasn't awake, that hit woke him up. There's got to be something wrong with those helmets flying off like that.

So what do you guys think about that head zebra for this game covering his mouth and that call against Carolina....very uncool.

 

[Al A Bama]

What conference were the Officials from for this game?

My wife noticed that before I did so I ran it back and still don't get it. Never seen that before.

Big East, I believe.

I liked what the ESPN announcer said (Mike Tirico) while the ref was doing that. Something to the effect of if there were any signals no one wanted to steal on the field, it would be the officials so why cover the mouth.

Saw the very end of the game and glad to see the SEC team win.

Anyone have a pic of the bad spot/first down call? I saw it live and felt it was 6 inches short and little by little the ball seemed to get closer and then when it was obviously 2" short they call it a first down. Someone needs to check that refs bank account.

 

[tru2thaduce]

What an awesome football game.Anyone that says the bowls don't mean anything need only check Connor Shaws face at the end of the game.Meant everything to that kid to win this bowl game.Honestly couldn't believe the refs in this game.Must have had $on Michigan.

 

[Bazza]

Big East, I believe.

That's correct.

Here's one - not a great pic but you get the 'point'.
