Game Thread: CFP Bowl Games | Fri Dec 27 | 4 SEC Games today (ESPN starting at noon CT)

[day-day]

I got caught speeding by the police on my way home this morning. The officer gave me a couple of tickets - to The Birmingham Bowl today.

I requested jail time instead but the officer said it “wasn’t an option..”

Doesn’t The Constitution prohibit cruel and unusual punishment?

If they let that little guy cook, The ‘Dores have an excellent chance to win.

How sad is a bowl that doesn’t have a corporate sponsor?

That TD was a classic Tim Tebow play.

I kind of like it, actually. The corporate sponsor bowls are getting ridiculous. Remember the Poulan Weedeater bowl and how stupid we thought that was way back when. Classic commercials though for Poulan

Go Navy! They did something we couldn't do.

Yep

They deserved it too.

I don't think there would be many times if any you catch an Academy team not preparing correctly or not putting in effort.

Can't advance a fumble. Can't call it a forward pass.

Okay, illegal touching. Good call.

 

[Krymsonman]

Someone explain that illegal touching on the fumble call to me. First, how can it be illegal touching on a fumble? A pass, yes. And I think you can advance a fumble, except on 4th down. I didn't get what that problem was.

The weather isn’t helping Birmingham attendance, looks like a USFL game.

Actually; now looks like it filled in pretty good. Especially considering the weather is not ideal. Birmingham is a good walk up town for an event if the weather is good.

An official thought it was a forward pass, blew his whistle and threw the flag.

How is that not a crack back block? Blocking back toward his own goal line, the very definition. That said , I’m glad it wasn’t called, but there is no consistency to refs. I know , we already know that, but there was a crack back block similiar to this that cost us a TD earlier in the year.

Okay, that makes sense. If it was a fumble, then anyone can recover it. Thank you sir.

Sad, They just said knocking off #1 Alabama. To go from 4-0 and #1 , to 4-3(FBS)after that and out of the playoffs. 😔

Sad, he just said knocking off #1 Alabama. To go from 4-0 and #1 , to 5-3(FBS)after that and out of the playoffs. 😔

And have a 7-5 acc(!) team keep them in check. Sad.

Pavia just took on a D lineman down field and took him out; tuff dude.

 

[bamaga]

Who said this game was boring, it’s been fun to watch after the first drives.

I think the ref was looking at the ball carrier, not the play.

And an example of why QBs should not be protected at all when not in the pocket.

I thought Pavia should have been called for blocking below the waist on that play. You can't throw your body at a guys legs anymore.

Looks like this was premature, the stadium now looks packed.
