Sugar Bowl 2025

Not a good start.

 

At least 10 people were killed and 30 injured after the driver intentionally rammed into the crowd and then began firing a weapon at police officers from his vehicle as he crashed the car, police said.

The attack came at 3:15am via vehicle.  That is not the time to cause the greatest harm to NYE celebrations or the Sugar Bowl.  He may be simply crazy.  

 

That’s what I was thinking. And somewhere in the coverage an official said something like “locals and not tourists…”. Of course that doesn’t make it any less nauseating but my God if it had been around midnight? Shudder…

Game moved up from 7:45 to 3p tomorrow. Assuming it’s to accommodate the Gator Bowl that’s being televised by ESPN at 6:30.

ESPN can’t be happy with that. It is probably more of an accommodation to the attendees than the who-gives-a-fuck Gator Bowl.

I suppose people could check out of the hotel and go to the game but they still can't make flights.  

PSU is getting a 2 day advantage now as well and probably want to get winning team home also.

They can get the most of the east coast viewers at 5PM and heading into the Gator Bowl.

Why doesn't ESPN have the Gator Bowl move up to 3 pm? They control all these bowl game times, with very few exceptions and the Gator Bowl isn't one of those exceptions. Maybe New Orleans doesn't want the game at night for security reasons.

I notice the line is now ND -1.   

Vegas deciding the bye week is a curse?

Not really.... Vegas sets the inital lines they then move the lines based on the betting action so it does seem John Q. Public has decided bye weeks r bad mmmmk.

It would be one thing if you got 2 weeks off vs 1 but instead it turns out nearly 4 weeks off is worse than 2 weeks off...

And that's why I don't think anyone can ever convince me we should have done anything but an 8 seed tournament with no special treatment for conference champions.

Oregon would have gotten rewarded with a tune up against Indiana and the balance of the field would have been on similar footing as each other timing wise.
