Before we get into the bowl season and all that’s happening with that. There was big news this week in college basketball number one North Carolina got lost to unranked Boston College. Many people believed that this North Carolina team could make it through the season without losing a game. I listened to coach Williams talk and he said that he was not happy they lost but if it was going to happen that it happen now and not later in the season or in the tournament. I have seen them play only a couple of times but when I did watch them, they seemed to pretty good compared to there opponents.
Now to the bowl games. All of them have been played except the championship one that is tonight. In the GMAC bowl it was number 22 Ball State against unraked Tulsa. Tulsa absolutely crushed Ball State 45 to 13. Wake Forest and Navy faced off in the EagleBank bowl. Wake Forests Skinner passed for 166 yards in there 29 to 19 win over Navy. In the Magicjack St. Petersburg bowl Grothe, of South Florida knock Memphis our early. Grothe passed for 236 yards and rushed for 83 more. South Florida won big 41 to14. Colorado State and Fresno State faced off in the New Mexico bowl. This one was close all the way through but Colorado State scored 20 in the fourth to win 40 to 35. BYU and Arizona played in the Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl. The crazy thing was that there was six inches of snow in Las Vegas when they played the game. Arizona upset number 16 BYU 31 to 21. Southern Miss and Troy went head to head in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. This was an exciting game it was back and forth the whole game. It ended up going into overtime. Southern Miss ended up winning by holding Troy to a field goal attempt but they missed and then Southern Miss kicked one of there own. The final was 30 to 27. TCU ended Boise State’s bid for perfection in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. It was a very close game, the final was 16 to 17. More to come…
