Still confused why they didn't spike and try to get closer. Wasn't a gimme. Especially for that guy.

The best of the 3QB got gypped with not getting MVP.

Had to google what the 6th branch of the armed forces was. (There's a Space Force apparently)

Airing of grievance: two days before Christmas, and Miami OH (primary color: red) wears white/grey/white unis and North Texas (primary color: green) wears white/white/white. What scrooge dressed these teams?

UCF's win gives my 8-year-old a 13-2 record in a Bowl Pick'em with 150 other people. She has no idea.
Big game for recruiting the state of FL, especially for the northern 2/3 of it.

Gus thinks he can win it all there. Nice optimism.

It didn't occur to me about the red/green thing, but I will echo the irritation with Miami's uniforms in particular. They have such a classic look and they just keep fucking with it. I hated the jerseys and I hated the helmets. The one game of theirs I've been able to watch, I don't want an unrecognizable uniform.

It's like going to Fenway to see the Sox and they're wearing day-glo yellow and powder blue or something.

Let me try. I speak Awesome Fossum.
Ball State and Atlanta Hawks strayed the farthest from their classic uniforms/team colors in their latest games.
Agree on Ball State. Have no clue after 50+ years of watching the NBA just what constitutes the Hawks' basic uniform. And, for the most part, they've never been appealing.

The ones they wore in the late 80’s should be what they wear every game. (Hawks)

Military Bowl and Fenway Bowl both canceled today.

Sun Bowl next in line to be canceled. Miami announced a few minutes ago it has a covid outbreak.

Curious if we get half remaining bowls played.

Washington State just tweeted out a plea for an opponent and how they are working with the Pac-12 and The Sun Bowl in looking for a replacement. There is going to be some last minute matchups made that will make this one wild bowl season.

Maybe UTEP wants to play a second time?
Get 2-10 NMSU perhaps? Only 45 minutes away (if student-athletes on campus).

Kids have been off campus for 2 weeks. It’s logistics,y impossible unless they get a team to play 2 bowls which seems frankly weird.

The ACC should have 2 to 3 bowl bids taken away next year. Offer the spots to FCS teams who get eliminated in the FCS playoffs.
ACC should have a relegation system with the Colonial and the B1G should have a relegation system with the Missouri Valley. Just 1 team is enough. But it would be worth it.

Rutgers just did 3 days ago. I’m guessing there will be more teams backing out over the next few days so there will possibly/likely be another team looking to play a bowl game since they have been preparing for one.

I know one FCS team is saying they’ll play Washington State if no one else will. That’s be interesting.
Wash St hopes it is Central Michigan now that Boise may be pulling out of Friday’s Arizona Bowl due to Covid
