For the most part, neither QB was that impressive: BSU's QB overthrew his receivers on a number of occasions, especially on the deep routes. :shakehead:

Are these Division 1?
TCU Horned Frogs? :shakehead:

Yes. Only the D1 Football Bowl Subdivision gets to play in the BCS bowls like The Fiesta Bowl. The lower divisions determine their champion the real way, with an acutal playoff.

So how come they're playing the Orange Bowl tonight??? :crazy:

More money. When all the bowl games were on Jan 1, you could only watch so many as they would overlap. The big BCS bowls now play at different times, sometimes on different days so more poeple can watch. The only game tonight is the Orange Bowl. That means they can charge more for commercials.

Iowa beats Georgia Tech, 24-14, in the Orange Bowl.

New York Daily News describes the Colts well fro their last 2 weekends. Watching them pull Manning halfway thru the game for his backup :usuck: is like going to see Sinatra Sr. in concert and putting in Sinatra Jr. halfway thru. :usuck:

Maybe it's New York lingo, I'm just surprised they're talking about a football team that isn't the NY Giants.

No point in talking about the Giants: they're done. :beaten:

The NY media always finds a reason to talk about the Giants. You're right the Giants are done, even so, the only reason they're talking about the Jets is to compare them to the 2007 Giants. :beaten:

Who will they have to compare once the Jets are eliminated this weekend? :beaten:

Just to add to the Giants' problems:

Shanahan to coach Redskins

WASHINGTON (AP)—The last time Dan Snyder went looking for a coach, he used a whole month, exhausted his entire list of candidates and settled for a novice who yielded little power, didnft always get his due respect and went 12-20.

This time, the Washington Redskins owner needed one day to land his No. 1 target: Mike Shanahan, who brings two Super Bowl rings and a reputation for wanting the final say.

gWe needed a guy like Mike Shanahan,h cornerback DeAngelo Hall(notes) said. gWe needed a proven leader, a proven winner. Hefs definitely going to get these guys motivated and get the most out of all of them.h

The deal with Shanahan is for five years, the Denver Post reported. The hire came less than 48 hours after the Redskins fired Jim Zorn and less than three weeks after front-office chief Vinny Cerrato resigned and quickly was replaced by general manager Bruce Allen.

You're right, Giants still get more coverage regardless of how they do, :banghead: Mets could go 162-0, Yanks will still get the back page cover. :usuck:

Yesterday I saw a car on the freeway with Alabama flags stuck to the roof. I didn't even know they were playing it in Pasadena. :ashamed:
