Random Bowl Thoughts

[TLB]

More importantly, we didn’t take the worst bowl loss.

On another (non-sports) site I frequent, I have traditionally loved rubbing bowl season in the face of the b1g folks. While the CFP semi finals gave me the opportunity to yet again cry 'over-rated' on their teams, I didn't. MICH & tOSU actually made a decent showing of it.

Additionally, I'd invest time in tallying conference bowl wins as one more cherry-picked stat to use in gloating. Alas, not this year.

FL 3 - OreSt 30
WF 27 - Mizz 17
KAN 53 - ARK 55
TT 42 - OleMiss 25
(TX 20 - WASH 27 not counting this, but they coming)
ND 45 - USCe 38
TN 31 - CLEM 14
BAMA 45 - KSt 20
IOWA 21 - KY 0
tOSU 41 - UGA 42
MissSt 19 - ILL 10
LSU 63 - PUR 7

SEC overall 6-5 (Nat'l Champ pending), best big wins are TN, UGA, and LSU = our rivals, and not something I'm going to be proud of.

Why did I quote GBM to make this statement? Because while we weren't the worst bowl loss, we arguably (KY shutout) were the worst bowl loss among SEC teams. :\

Cmon man! When we dominate bowl season it's, "S-E-C, S-E-C, S-E-C!" When we dont it's, "Bowl games are meaningless!"

Yeah, I didn't bring up the 'bowls are meaningless' bit when bragging over b1g fans. It's more relevant now given the opt outs.

And, fwiw, I'm a big Horned Frog fan for this coming Monday.

Ours sure as hell are.
