Rose Bowl - Open Thread

PrintI am sure Bobby Bowden wanted to be commemorated with orchestral indie pop. Nice touch there CBS.
Tim Jesus today says goodbye to the earthly plain of man and ascends. Riley Iscariot knows what TeJesus must endure. Skinner informed on HovaBow, told the Roman Scouts his location and total suckiness, and how to strip-sack him from twenty handbreaths. Enjoy the NFL Cross Jeesbow, its wood will be better for meeting your blood.
Also, if Tony Pike is broken in two, as is Stick Man's wont, a real quarterback prospect might take the field: Zach Collaros.
But first: The Astroglide Rose Bowl.
My interest in LSU is centered on second-tier left tackle prospect Ciron Black (70), second-tier defensive end prospect Rahim Alem (84), hidden first-tier wide receiver prospect Brandon LaFell (1) and return specialist Trindon Holliday (8). I don't know Penn State as well, but the Lions have some pro talent of interest: RB Evan Royster (22) and defensive tackle Jared Odrick (91) are draft eligible and could fill positions of need for the Seahawks. Royster isn't my flavor of running back, but Odrick is another name to consider in what is shaping up to be a very good defensive tackle class.
The DeLorean Swing Door Gator Bowl is also on. Epic tease Rodney Hudson (62) decided an education is more important than becoming a mid-twenties millionaire. It could have been epic guy. With your noire-ish name and position-transcending athleticism, 2010 could have been the start of an amazing subject-fan relationship. I'll forgive you, but don't price yourself out of range. I hate when that happens. Mountaineer back Noel Devine (7) is pretty close to amazing. He's only 175 and so his drafting team must see him for what he is and can do, but it's good -- kid's special: North-south, great footwork and pro speed.

Anyone notice that the Citrus Bowl became the Citrus Bowl brought to you by Capital One
then the Capital One Citrus Bowl and is now, somehow, simply the Capital One Bowl?
I hate it.
The Peach Bowl is now the Chick-Fil-A bowl and there are a couple others that just have the sponsors name.
Any now it was referred to as the "63 Capital One Bowl"
Interesting feat for a company founded in the eighties.
I'll be tuning into the Rose Bowl...once the Winter Classic is over.

This is painful.
NU comes storming back to tie it at 21 despite the brutal play of Kafka. Then, more Brutal play.
And he's still effective at doing what our offense does, which is a barrage of 5-7 yard passes.
The picks are just a few bad throws and decisions.

Wow...
Northwestern vs. Auburn was easily the best Bowl game this season
It reminded me a lot of the Boise State vs. Oklahoma game a few years back, but with a lot more turnovers and rain.
Sam Bradford, future Seattle Seahawk.
I just woke up and apparently missed something important in NW/UA
But I notice that GameCast says Mike Kafka threw 78 passes, which seems rather insane. He had 532 yards passing but only 6.8 YPA.
They must have had ZERO faith in the backup kicker.
And this game also just taught me why NFL teams don’t find a kicker/punter hybrid and save a roster spot. Your kicker goes down and you don’t have a punter, you’re in deep shit.

He isn't going to run anything under a 4.5, right?
That should get him to round 2.
But doesn't look to be the player that either is.
He’s in a similar mold, but I don’t think he has the upside of Bowe or Marshall.
That's not a fair comparison
Simple Jack isn’t as thick as Marshall
Oh wait
You mean thick as in girth, not thick as in full retard. I gotcha now.
Alem
I haven’t paid much attention to Alem before this game, but I’m pretty impressed with him. His awareness isn’t Pro yet, but he’s got good strength and some decent quickness.
That's quite a metamorphosis you're asking for there.

He stabbed at it and caught it
It wasn’t form, but I appreciate the concentration. He clearly wasn’t ready to be targeted.
Tim Ruskell's one regret is that he didn't get a chance to draft Trindon Holliday.

Wow that was blatant
off-sides on the NT. He hit the center before the ball was snapped
No, I imagine Pike will get nearly every snap.
I just actually enjoy watching Collaros play.
He looks good
And Pike is about 15 pounds, so I could see him getting knocked out in the first quarter.
I'm turning into a big fan of Pike's
He has most of the tools that I look for. Sure, he’s skin-and-bones, but Matt has a gut and has been hurt quite a bit the last few years..
Worst two-minute drill ever.

I am also not sure what to make of him. I see Brian Leonard at times (insert white joke here), but I’m sure that’s not giving him enough credit.

would be a great fight..
I’m pro Pac-man but he should just take the test if he gots nothing to hide.. If somethings found in him that would be so.. Devastating
But does he really need to sue Mayweather
Mayweather would boringly jab and left hook his way to a unanimous decision victory.
Pacquiao would be a good scrap but Mayweather has fantastic defense.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
True last 5 fights or so i always though pacquaio would lose but he keeps suprising me..
Anything can happen it only takes 1 punch but Pretty sure we’ll Never know
Not offically but Pacquaio doesn't want to do Olympic style Testing
and Mayweather wont fight him unless he does
Plus Pacquaio is suing Mayweather for ruining pac-man’s image by saying he’s using Roids to move up in weights easily
The thing is, "Olympic style testing" isn't a boxing mandate. Mayweather should have said something prior to the fight being arranged, so it could have been written into the contract.

If Seattle can add a quarterback or Hasselbeck stumbles into a healthy season
It could rebound pretty big.
Okay. I thought they'd be closer than they were.
Similar seasons pro-bowl or all-pro, but that doesn’t hold weight and that’s about it. What a decline from Kearse.
I still don’t like what Peppers’ asking price should be, esp. when we should be a team rebuilding.
This.
How would not playing with a lead affect him?
Also, why would he want to sign here (besides a dump truck full of money)? Not like we are a DE away from SB contender.
This.
Dump truck full of money
No, Seattle isn’t, but Allen can spend money. If it doesn’t cost a draft pick and adds an elite talent and doesn’t kill the cap forever, well…
I'm hesitant to say Ray Edwards of the Vikings.
I file him under “good but not great”.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
It's not that Hasselbeck is inherently awful and crippling, but only that what he's become because of injury, hits, injury, hits
a line that has had fifteen left tackles, is awful and crippling.
It is going to continue being a problem
even with a 2005esque offensive line, every subsequent hit moves him closer to the end.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
I think a lot of this started when Hasselbeck dove into Patrick Willis elbow.
If he can avoid that and have even a decent line, 2007 is possible.
Which is why you don't bring him back
because being a surprise playoff team that’s pimp slapped by a contender is not worth delaying a rebuild.
I generally think it better to grow a pass rush than try to buy one
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
Typically yes.
Unless you can trade for a player like Jared Allen in his prime, draftees might be the best route.
This.

Actual Football Thought:
I noticed Pryor was throwing a lot of errant passes that resulted in missed tip drill opportunities for Oregon. I think that will regress back and some of those will turn into interceptions.
The only reason this game is close is because the Oregon D has been letting Pryor get away with a lot of fuck-ups.

Agreed.
My only consolation in tonight is that it appears that Ohio State’s team is less dirtbaggy than previous years.

In the postgame press conference, I wonder if he's gonna blame the kicker if they lose?

West coast football (outside of USC) is an embarrassment when it matters nowadays.
This new year is starting off on a terrible note.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
Oregon's offense is abysmal.
How did they get to the Rose Bowl with this nonsense?

Many of the spread teams struggled this bowl season
many of the long-time spread teams have relatively inexperienced QBs right now.

The atmosphere this year at Qwest has been most impressive.
Even with the team being terrible for the last two years it still gets freaking loud.
I think I hate Oregon now.
They are superior to Ohio State and crapped all over themselves.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
Most of the conference humbug is nonsense
matchups and experience are so important in bowl games, but big ups to the Big 10 because the Big 10 has no speed meme was just getting to be too much.

Jesus..
18 starters returning for Oregon. 17 for the Huskies… and most the teams in the conference are young overall.
Pac10 is gonna be tough next year.
Bird Law in this country isn't governed by reason.
I disagree...
They were a very young team and some of the experienced players got considerably better during the year. What’s more, if they can’t play, they’ll get passed by when the Sark classes come in. I’d expect at least 2 frosh to start immediately and a couple more to not redshirt but be in rotation early.

This is the thing often ignored during bowl season
in all the talk about conferences. These things run in cycles. The Pac10 is stupid young. They’ll be fine. The Big 10 this year had a LOT of experience at QB.

Part of me wants the Hawks to draft Tebow
just so I can watch the various shitty chat boards go all apocalypse-y
I'm not saying I actually want him.
Though I am curious to see how his NFL career pans out.
I wonder if Tebow can do anything this game to save his pro prospects?
I believe as much as anyone that he is not yet anything like a pro quarterback, but his is a body built for football.
with the wildcat rage going on
he’s showing up at the right time.
OSU or tOSU?
Just confused here…

One of those mans spent at least 2 hours crafting the look of a man who just woke up.
The other is hungover as shit and just woke up.
who the hell was that?
I must be getting old, or out of touch.
This explains Lady Antebellum:
Oh that explains the fake hipster look.
I love how country musicians always look like whatever cool looked like five years ago.
I was exposed to the existence of Lady Antebellum for a Christmas 2008 Secret Santa work party
I lowered my opinion of the person who requested it appropriately
I don't care how high an IQ a little kid has.
That show is quite clearly scripted, rigged, and useless.

Haysbert only really acknowledged Cincy.
If Palmer knows the winner of this game right now, that’s good enough for me.
This commercial is further evidence that men are morons and need to tube fed by their wives.
Right honey.
That just made me realize how stupid people are.

Well the knee was definitely not the issue
Instead it was the sickening arm break.
Longer wind-up:
Leftwich or Tebow?
Early prospect watch: RB C.J. Spiller, QB Sam Bradford, OT Ciron Black, DT Gerald McCoy, S Eric Berry, DT Ndamukong Suh, CB Ras-I Dowling, RB Jonathan Dwyer
Better Jacksonville Jaguar...

Interesting pick.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. —Ephesians 2:8-10
It's routinely #1 or #2 in both timeslots.

It was the receivers' faults for not having the 'strength' to pull those in
He’d make a great Hasselbeck apologist.
Bold strategy by Cincy to not cover people.
Let’s see how this plays out.

I'm bored with this game so here's my Sunday wish
- Chris Johnson gets 2,001 yards rushing. Mebane then stops him for a loss of 2 on the next play and Johnson picks up an injury during that tackle.
- Matt Hasselbeck throws for 4 touchdown passes and goes out on a high note by throwing the game-winning touchdown pass to Deon Butler with 3 seconds to go. We win 28-24.
- Denver loses.
That sound good?
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
Also, and I feel bad for saying this, but I do not want Hasselbeck to succeed on Sunday.
Anything that gives the Keep Hasselbeck camp some ammunition is bad for the future of the team.
If the last three weeks offsets the potential great game he has on Sunday
Then the organization (and the fans who are in the camp) are idiots.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
To be honest, I hope Chris Johnson gets his 2,000 yards. I'm just fooling around.
At a minimum he can break Marshall Faulk’s scrimmage yards record.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
We've been rooting for Hasselbeck to get injured for his own good for 3 weeks now
Damn we’re classless bastards.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
Another unimpeachable pass by Pike
As I hinted at earlier, I am not going to be so foolish as to spend my last night at home watching this shit. Goodnight all.
Fuck you Cincinnati
I will hate you forever for this
Well, glad I missed this game.
I hope Tebow has fun becoming the Jaguars’ next hilarious 1st-round bust.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
