Well Christmas is behind us, which means the depressing part of winter is here. Luckily the good bowl games are ahead of us.

Also, am I the only one that thinks New Years Eve is the most overrated "holiday?"

Anyone here remember the A-11 offense? They banned it back in 2009, but does anyone else still remember it?

Valentine's Day is by far the most overrated holiday.

Yes. It can't effectively work above a high-school level anyways.

Also saw something that last happened before I graduated High School: Duke scoring a TD in a bowl game, and they got a 2pt conversion off a blocked PAT (took it away due to the Kicker's knee being down just before he crossed the goalline)... :blink:

I'm 5-4 after losing my last 4 games. SMH...

Also, I'm watching the Duke game right now, and I have to comment about this Byas kid. For those not watching, he lead with his head on a play, and fell down while trying to get up, clearly concussed. Two plays later, he's back on the field, and leads with his head again. And of course again he's on the ground. That's a dangerous, dangerous situation at that point. Hopefully he's alright, and shame on the coaching staff for letting him back out there.

The Belk Bowl was way better than advertised. Clearly, good football is not in direct correlation to PR.

That was one of the freakiest punts I've ever seen.

ALSO: 6-4 With Cincy's comeback and Baylor's leading by 23 with 10 minutes left. (So I'll be 6-5 >:( )
