I earlier complained about crappy bowl
games in general, and the Humanitarian Bowl in particular. That's
where the Terps played Nevada yesterday, and it was actually a fun game
to watch. It was also the last time the ACC and this bowl will
have an affiliation. Last week it was initially reported that
Maryland had sold just 8 tickets to the game in Boise. It was
erroneous, they had sold 800+ tickets, but everyone was able to believe
the earlier number. And why not? The game is played on a
blue field, egad, and the temperature was a balmy 30º.
The game announcer told us that the Nevada players amused themselves on
Monday with a snowball fight, while the Terps went bowling. All the
funnier, since Maryland's coach Friedgen suspended seven players for
much of the game for curfew violations. When a reporter asked
running back DaRel Scott what he found to do in Boise that caused him
to break curfew, he remained silent. So the "Fridge" was in a
pretty bad mood to begin with. When he left his room for the game
bus, the hotel elevator was broken, so he had to walk down 19 flights of
stairs. Fridge weighs about 500 pounds. Good game
Nevada. Anything called the Humanitarian Bowl deserves to be
scrapped though. Today there's something called the Gaylord Hotel
Bowl. I'm still laughing.

It's a push. Lose one lousy name and gain another. I wonder what DaRell thinks of the GayLord HoTel bowl.

At least I have the Gators to pull for this year.
ReplyDeleteMy other alma maters have slid into mediocrity.
Bowl games ? There are bowl games this year ? My beloved Volunteers are at home. I watching the the Hitler Channel and DYI this holiday season. With a little Fox news when ever I can get a peek at Lori Dew. I wonder If she Does.

I'm guessing what the Terps found to do at night in Boise was be out in the street with a greatly reduced chance of being a violent crime victim. Of course, I think most of the Boiseans stayed in, since the presence of the Marylanders increased the potential crime rate that night. Just guessing, of course. BTW, it's the Roady's (humanitarian) bowl. I view it as the truck-stop bowl on the blue field.
ReplyDeleteI'm more looking forward to the NHL Winter Classic, 1 PM ET, New Year's Day on NBC.
ReplyDeleteThe Red Wings vs. the Blackhawks.
Outdoors.
At Wrigley Field.
You can't beat that.
I'm waiting for them to come up with the ultimate bowl game. How about the Tydee Bowl. It can be played in Boise on their blue field so there's a REAL product placement connection.
ReplyDeleteI thought the fridge looked like he's been on nutrisystem. He must have lost at least twenty lbs, then again, maybe it was the tight underarmor.

The fridge is a lightweight compared to Mangino, the Kansas football coach. The students all wear shirts that say "Our coach ate your coach". I'm waiting for his heart to explode on the sidelines during a nationally televised game.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, KU won their bowl game too.
