Congrats to the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns who won a thrilling game over Nevada. I am curious to see the TV ratings on that game.

Well, we know for sure you and me were watching...what's that do for ratings?
 


I'm interested in the Utah - Colorado St. game at 2:30. Could be a good game.

I just turned on the tv and CSU is getting drilled 38-10. Does Utah look that good, or does CSU look that bad?

I stopped watching awhile ago but I would say both. I haven't seen much of CSU this year but I thought their offense would be better.
 

Anybody see the crowd shot in the second half of the bowl game in Boise? Granted the rainy weather looked miserable, but there couldn't have been 1,000 fans in attendance.
 

Memphis and BYU all tied at 14 with 7:30 in the first quarter. They might combine for 100 points.
Horrible pass defense by both.
 

Fantastic game ends in overtime and a benches-clearing brawl.

Who says there are too many bowl games?
 




How about the Mormons pushing and shoving each other toward the end of the brawl. I better be on guard when they come selling their beliefs.
 


Memphis scored with 45 seconds left in game. BYU called two TO's to Ice a kicker on an extra pt. A kicker who was perfect on the year, when he could have used those TO 's to get in FG position for a potential winner. Players should have hit him over the head.
 



Wow. Whoever number 12 was for BYU. That was priceless.
 



The video also misses the Memphis player swinging his helmet at someone. Classy all around.

It looks like 97 right after the game taunted a BYU player, the BYU player shoved him, 97 then shoved him back and then all hell broke lose from there.

Didn't something like this happen in Mankato last April with bad consequences?

Looks like 56 for BYU also turns back to another player who may have been "taunting"

End of game hand shakes may just need to go away. Have a ceremonial coaches hand shake during the coin toss and then get the loser off the field after the game. Imagine had this happened at the home field of the winner and fans were rushing the field.

It's a game, right?

I don't think it is worth changing anything because of one incident. There seems to be very little of this happening after a game. More happens before or during.

Pretty sparse attendance at the Popeye's Bahamas Bowl.
