Holy Cow! Who called that??

Well this has been an interesting Bowl season hasn't it?  Starting off with the new MagicJack Bowl, (how many more of these things are we gonna have?) South Florida used home diamond advantage to hammer Memphis, not like this was an upset, but point out the redundancy of the bowls, how long until we see the how many people can you name.com Bowl?  anyway, in the realm of upsets we look to the top spot, the Sugar Bowl.  Alabama, fresh off their loss to Florida in the SEC Championship was supposed to beat the ever living tar out of Utah and send them back to Bringhamville crying.  Well apparently they missed the memo saying that because they showed up to play, beating the Crimson Tide 31-17.  Utah quarterback Brian Johnson shook off early jitters to solidly lead the Utes down the field and shock the partisan Tide faithful in NoLA.  But all is not lost in Tuscaloosa, afteral, they may get to play Vandy next year! Speaking of Vandy, the mighty Commodores actually made a bow game this year, first time since 1982, all be it the Music City Bowl, 6 miles from their campus in Nashville.  The drew the tough ACC opponent Boston College and their tough defense.  Vandy started off holding BC on defense and marched down the field for 2 field goals, but BC led 7-6 at the Half after a quick strike score.  The tide turned in the 3rd quater when a Vandy punt was touched by a BC player and recovered in the endzone byt Vandy for a TD.  BC scored to take a 14-13 lead, but Vandy drove to the 35 where Brian Hanfeldt hita 47 yard field goal to give Vandy the 16-13 lead for good.  BC had a chance late, but their hopes were dashed by a Myron Lewis interception and Vandy won their first bolw game since the 1955 Gator Bowl.  Soak it in Vandy, you never know when it will happen again.  Well, that about wraps it up for me today sports fans, nex titme out we'll review the National Championship and talk a little about hockey.

  1. Bradford's second interception wasn't his fault, his receiver just didn't fight for the ball, period and Black intercepted it. The first one though, he shouldn't have tried to fit that throw into such a small window especially with no timeouts and being in the red zone. They would've been ahead at halftime if he would've just thrown the ball away...
