New Year's Day Bowls Open Thread

PrintI know it's early, but whatever.
I'm sure the one game everyone here is focusing on will be the Capital One Bowl, featuring Matthew Stafford. This is the first time I'll be getting a good look at Stafford, and I'm hoping he'll be a good second option in the draft should Seattle miss out on Sam Bradford (Knowshon Moreno should be fun to watch as well.)
As for the other games, I'm rooting for Clemson because fuck Nebraska. The Rose Bowl should be an entertaining matchup (I'm rooting against USC, of course). Cincy/Virginia Tech should also be a fun game (hopefully more fun than the Georgia Tech crapfest earlier tonight).

You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.
I intrepret this as "the games are going to be fun tomorrow, hope I don't puke all over my bathroom floor."
That’s my best guess, anyway. Anyone else care to decipher this?

For those up early enough to watch the Iowa/South Carolina game.....
I think it’s safe to say Stephen Garcia doesn’t have a future in the NFL. Move along, nothing to see here.
(Also, yay no hangover!)

I'm amazed the game is still tied 3-3. Georgia has been extremely slooppy with the ball today.

Hurm....not a great day for Stafford so far.
Looks like his mechanics are solid—good pocket presence, steps into his throws, rarely panics. Seems to trust his arm strength too much; lots of overthrown passes. I’ll have to see some better accuracy in the second half before I’m sold on him.

Beautiful TD pass there.

Um... I can't watch the Rose bowl
because ABC has been blacked out for me for a while… anyone else have this problem?
You must be on Dish Network.
Currently Fisher Communications (KOMO in Seattle) is in a dispute with them over carriage fees. Their contract expired on the 17th and they have yet to renew.
Fail, Lee Corso.
It’s “Washington”, not “Warshington.”

And USC commences with the Big 10 dismantling.

I like how McKnight, Gable, and Johnson
are all better than the Husky’s no. 1 rb, and it’s not even close.
Taylor Mays has blitzed on nearly every single play.

I kind of wouldn't mind drafting Maluaga.
I know we don’t really need a LB, but I can’t help but feel like he’ll have a Ray Lewis, Troy Polamalu impact on a defense.
Maulega would be a fine option if we let LeRoy Hill walk.
Mays is just not impress me much. When he’s not blitzing, he mostly just stands around 20 yards back.

Well..... I would say maybe he'll fall so far that we can get him in the 2nd, but I don't even know if I'd want him over
Patrick Chung. Plus once the combine numbers are out, his stock will rise again.
He won't last past the top 20
Scouts will cream their pants when they see him at the combine. With some solid coaching, he may yet become a contributor (whether at S or LB) but I’d rather let some other team take the chance.

Brent Musburger on the PSU TD:
“John Elway could not have run this any better.”
Someone hit the liquor cabinet early today.

Mays looks stiff moving laterally

List of players we're watching?
Taylor Mays and Derrick Williams are the two I’m trying to keep an eye on.
I think USC has a defensive tackle thats supposed to go pretty high in the first round
not sure about the rest
How about Mark Sanchez?
in the 2nd or 3rd…?
Or did he have some legal troubles before a la Colt Brennan?
Sanchez is looking pretty good against a great Penn State Defense.
Though I’m just watching the play by play on gamecast, so I really can’t assess anything even semi-accurately.
Don't know about the legal troubles, but Sanchez has been looking good today.
Could go somewhere between the 2nd and 4th, depending on how his combine goes.

Yep found it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Sanchez
2006, rape allegations, had to take rape awareness class, but the charges were dropped due to lack of sufficient evidence. Sounds kind of fishy…
One of his teammates lost a bet to him.
But didn’t pay him in a timely manner. So Sanchez attacked him in the shower and raped him. He then finished the deed by giving him a Dirty Sanchez…Oh wait, that was Nate Robinson. (minus the rape/Dirty Sanchez part)

Yeah, Malik Rose lost a bet to him.
And didn’t pay.

Nate Robinson is too awesome for words.

2nd or 3rd round?
Hes not draft eligible yet either.

Yeah, round was implied.
And I’m pretty sure he is, since I think I’ve seen him on several mock drafts…
Huh your right
I thought he was younger. But I think he stays one more year. He would be a surefire 1st round pick next year.

I've actually seen 1 mock draft that had him going first overall....
I immediately disregarded everything else that website had to say though, since even if he does something amazing like…. say…. throw for 276 yards and 3 tds in the first half against a good psu defense, he still only has a years worth of stats to back him up?
Scout.com has us taking Stafford at 4
which made me sad that I’d been reading their stuff for the past few months.
Nearly every mock draft I've read has us taking Crabtree.
Every day I hear about Seattle sports' failures. Every night I fall asleep to the sound of my own tears.
Same.
And holy jesus, Matt Ryan’s contract (in the 3 spot) is 6 years 72 million? That’s 12 million per year…. which means 50% of the time, you’re getting market price, and 50% of the time you’re overpaying a bust…?
Royster is wearing a knee brace on the sideline.
Not looking good.

Jesus man. The only question I have
is how much vomit laundry did you have to do?

None!
I guess I walked downstairs and told my Wife I’m going to find somewhere to die. Went upstairs, threw up and passed out in the bathroom

So say for some reason that the Titans don't resign Haynesworth...
Haynesworth > Leroy Hill and the #4 pick (not that we’d get rid of it, but trade down to the no. 10 pick or higher would save us 30 million dollars?)
or I guess if we trade down to the #13 or so pick
that’d be Haynesworth + Maluega >>>> Hill + Bradford/Oher?
Haynesworth and Mebane would be amazing

Graham Harrell isn't looking too great.
I hate Safetys… do coaches not plan for all out blitzes when they start on the 2 yard line?
Ha! I swear that the announcers just said Oher never gets beat
and then the RE sprints past Oher and gets a sack, not sure what Oher was thinking, didn’t even stick his arms out or anything
