Field is starting to fall apart from the constant rain. Whose bright idea was it to host a bowl game in Fenway fucking park?

Well the Pinstripe Bowl from Yankee Stadium is on after this so you can double dip with dumb baseball stadium bowl games.

Some serious cramping going on in this thread, you ladies ok?

Dont like bowl games in baseball stadiums? Bad weather? Don't watch them. I am sure there are reruns of Maury or the View on some channel.

Well judging by the crowd, no one there seems to like them either. 

And there was a deep TD run by Castellanos and it will be a 17-14 ballgame. I don't know if I'll be putting on this headset again.

Yeah, well it is Boston in the winter. But I am nice and warm in Texas. If I was up there I would have gone. I never give up a chance to go to an iconic stadium.

I'd rather watch the Globe Life Adolis Bowl sponsored by Corey Seager's huge nuts. Would be an indoor bowl at least.

I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith – as there's a nice run around the right end by Castellanos, it will be a touchdown. And so that will give BC the lead. – I don't know if I'm gonna be putting on this headset again.

Preach!  

Were there any complaints about Petco or Chase? I'd doubt it. 

[Jive Turkey 12630]

big cajones if SMU does go for this.

[Steamboat1874 4075]

That Jennings kid is playing his ass off for SMU.

A few years back when Pitt played Northwestern in the Pinstripe our radio booth was the Yankees booth. That meant we were behind Home Plate, and for football that was behind the goal post. It was pretty much impossible to see what was happening at the other end of the (out)field. It was kind of cool being in Yankee Stadium but, I’d prefer it in June.

If you don't follow this guy on Twitter, you should. He's a very enjoyable follow as he seeks out the worst seat in each stadium he visits.

Good lord...just tackle the receivers on every play.

[PittsburghTiger 6192]

That was defensive pass interference.

[NorthLoop 14218]

lol Kevin Mar really doesn't like Texas teams. Even the announcers are like wtf 

[Knoxtnhorn 6064]

So, Big 12 refs?

[ztejas 43524]

Lashlee is calling an awful 2nd half.

[AbeFroman 2200]

Turrrible

I've been half-ass watching this game while doing other shit.  Looked up and saw Mar

[mdmost 43011]

1st and 12 with the Wasabi Fenway Bowl on the line...he's going for corner....HE'S GOT IT!

[PittsburghTiger 6192]

An expensive no-call on that 4th down. Terrible.

[WBT 20643]

They sposed to be ACC?

[ztejas 43524]

SMU's D gives zero fucks at this point. 

[jw4381 3091]

Man, I thought the sponsor was actual wasabi. HA!

yeah, pretty uninspired performance against a mostly one dimensional team. 

[Left Coast 863]

This is a future ACC match up? No wonder FSU is suing anybody and e’rybody to GTFO.

slick footballs, a QB in his second start ever, and receivers who can't catch.  yeah, these aren't optimal throwing conditions.

There goes my bowl mania.

My son is the only one to pick BC, and he picked them days ago.  He's 17.  I can beat his ass if u want.

[mdmost 43011]

Okay. I do like incorporating the baseball scoreboard to keep the game score. 

[PittsburghTiger 6192]

SMU sure seems like it has quit caring about the game.

 

I do really like the SMU helmet. Sharp.

[AbeFroman 2200]

Just run it bro

SMU should consider more NIL 

[ztejas 43524]

Jennings turned into a trainwreck pretty quickly down the stretch there. 

[Dahobbs 17627]

While I appreciate the inclusive initiative, SMU might want to consider recruiting receivers with actual hands.

This.....Jennings has put multiple throws right on the money and they have been dropped.

[AbeFroman 2200]

They were giving him 10 yards anytime he wanted to take off before 4th down.  Braindead on the coaches not to tell him that.

[mdmost 43011]

So not ACC ready?

Still think they should force feed wasabi into the BC coach's mouth after the game.

SMU had no offensive game plan other than definitely don't catch the ball. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4780]

It might’ve helped SMU had Pontiac not gone outta bidness …

[SameSame 1705]

This will make for an interesting return game in Dallas next year.

[BurntOrange&White 39934]

SMU crying about not being in a NY6 bowl over Liberty only to lose to 6-6 BC.....incredible. These schmucks also are taking 0 conference pay for 8-9 years to be terrible.

This was the key.  There were too many drops, but he didn’t take what was given.  There were a number of downfield throws that weren’t close and were wasted plays.

He’s a good runner and passed on too many opportunities.  I think even the 4th and 3 could have been converted.

 

[mdmost 43011]

I just got the victory in the Wasabi Bowl. How you like dem apples?

fucking Mar had to get on tv one more time

[SameSame 1705]

They play that game anywhere besides a bowl of shit soup, SMU probably wins handily.

[Frank Drebin 5653]

Fuck smu.  Overrated trash school.
