OT: D1

Disaster

Syracuse was the only winner.

NC State chipped in to the ACC disaster by not only losing to an in-state G5 team in ECU but getting into a minor brawl in the last 40 seconds of game time. They open next season against each other.

Total embarrassment for the league.

This performance certainly isn't going to do the ACC any favors moving forward.

..and ACC is 1-9 in the “post season”

Cam Ward got his record.

He then said that's enough and sat out (not injured) the second half of Miami's (42-41) bowl loss.

He's a projected Top 10 pick.

That “second oldest” claim is bogus given that the original game was played between two high school teams. The Orange and Sugar Bowl were both played for the first time in 1935. The first real Sun Bowl was played in ‘36.

Different direction here but who can forget Pitt playing in the Sun Bowl and losing, 3-0.

That game had insane wind. Neither team could throw, kick, punt, etc.

It was so bad it was actually entertaining.

[TheBigCat2192]

The Sun Bowl is the second oldest Bowl Game after the Rose Bowl. I would argue that, relatively speaking, it is the most significant in terms of value to the respective community. It's a week long event with a big parade and everything. It's a source of civic pride in El Paso.

Correct. A lot of the no-name bowls are JV games.

I'm totally okay with players having the ability to transfer like normal students. But maybe they can't enter the portal for 48 hours after their team's season ends. That would also prevent them quitting to enter ASAP.

Correct. A lot of the no-name bowls are JV games.

It's gotten ridiculous. I think Iowa's stud running back has bowed out of their game. He was probably more than half their offense. It would be like Boise State playing against Penn State without Ashton Jeanty.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

I saw in the Oklahoma game that most of the roster is underclassmen. The new portal, and guys skipping the postseason, are going to end the traditional redshirt philosophy. When Joe Cool from a non-contender skips the bowl game, you're suddenly playing lots of young kids.

Thanks. Another great example.
