[DFW Horn 6679]

I don't know if I like CFB enough to watch this one. It's only for gambling degenerates (surly's demographic, duh).

[VirginiaLonghorn 4925]

Sounds like Galindo

[Al_4_ISU 12693]

Slow day in the office.  Caught up on year end stuff.  Most employees taking the week off.

I'm in.

Dancing with potatoes, pretty funny. 

I want to watch this game but, that fucking field burns my eyes.

Did they give everyone two potatoes as they walked into the stadium? If so, that’s cool.

I don't remember who it is here, but we have a surly poster that regularly puts up a meme about "sticking his dick in the mashed potatoes".   

Mean dogs 13

Work dogs 3.

Man, I have a sudden urge for an off-brand 7 UP from a fountain in a small town drive through circa 1994.

[PittsburghTiger 6391]

How the hell do you allow a blocked punt deep in your own end right before the half? Terrible football. How the hell did NIU beat Notre Dame?

Missed the FG from a very easy distance. Terrible special teams.

[zlavydra 2152]

Fresno St kicker is the best ever, or second best?

I actually went to this game with some UM buddies about 20  years ago.  Big win for the Canes against Nevada Reno on a clear night with a high of about 25.  Got pictures with Greg Olson and Calais Campbell on the blue turf after the game.

Makes you appreciate Sideshow a little more, doesn't it?

To add insult to injury, looks like NIU Football's Twitter account was hacked during the game. It's currently pumping crypto.

Not a great day for NIU

 

[Bevo&Pevo 5538]

Tied up like 2 dogs in the street...

 

[TrashMaster G 18158]

Just turned the game on. Heard the PBP voice.

Muted my tv.

🤬🤬🤬

[bureaucrat 38]

Missed FG to end regulation! lol 

[Fudge Nuggets 19491]

Fuck that mother fucker.

That poor bastard. 

[GhostOfTomJoad 9542]

Fozzy and Lowell...they're getting the band back together!

Fresno State PK is 0-3. Lulz.

[satyanash 15742]

 

[Js1 87342]

Lol NIU interrupted Lowell’s MNF pitch to start the 2nd OT. Camera basically wasn’t even on it 

Trick play for 2! 

[GhostOfTomJoad 9542]

Gotta love these bowl games where nothing happens for 4 quarters and now all of the crazy plays are not only being pulled out but are working.

[Fudge Nuggets 19491]

Fresno might want to stop that play.

Yeah good job espn

 

And nice two play calls

[Dennis Taylor 19404]

Galindo is pretty fucking excited for a game between 2 teams with a combined 11 losses

Lmao Lowell is just BOTCHING calls left and right in this game, but it turned into one of those dumb fun bowl games I'm here for regardless

He's gotta sell the pen. No matter the matchup.

[FunkSoulBrother 977]

NIU!!! 

[Fudge Nuggets 19491]

Love it. 4th and 9 in OT and DC dials up the corner blitz to end that shit right then and there. 

[Js1 87342]

Great sequence of plays there, Red team

[WBT 21057]

sftu, Lowell.  Is the headcoach a blubbering mess?  On what basis do you think they're celebrating the fucking potato bowl against Fresno State like they celebrated beating Notre Dame.

[Surly Bevo 25813]

SPUDS!

[GhostOfTomJoad 9542]

Did the NIU coach just say "that was the best dump of my career...and it was french fries"?

One of the reasons I do the bowl mania is to give me a reason to watch these type of games and having some rooting interest.

[WBT 21057]

No late bowl tonight?  Lame.

[satyanash 15742]

 

[Nicole44 22326]

Congrats NIU. Happy for them! Great Win! 
 

I want to call out ESPN for referring to the Bulldogs repeatedly on the screen as the Bulldongs thru out their broadcast. Thank you ESPeen! Wow! 

[Bevo&Pevo 5538]

Wanted Fresno to win, but it killed off an afternoon.  NIU takes home the fries.  Fresno FG kicker probably will have to hitch hike home.

The last five minutes of regulation plus OT was fun as hell.

This bowl and the Cheezits bowl are my favorites the last few years. This year the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl presented by Gin & Juice by Dre enters the fray. I will have to check it out.
