Happy New Year! The Outback Bowl dedicated open comment thread is set to open at 12:30 p.m. Eastern, but, in the meantime, this will serve as your general discussion thread for the day's college football action not involving the Georgia Bulldogs. The day features the opportunity to observe SEC East rivals in action, and to see how the Big Ten fares on the big stage.
You are welcome to share your thoughts on all of it in this thread, which will cover the TicketCity, Capital One, Gator, Rose, and Fiesta Bowls, or, at any rate, as many of them as may be covered in the space of a single thread. As with the aforementioned forthcoming Outback Bowl thread, we will open up new threads as the need arises.
Have at it, Bulldog Nation!
Go 'Dawgs!

Off topic, but for Vineyard, Redcrake, Mr. Sanchez, etc. In reguards to this past New Year's Eve morning:
Wonton Beef Stew - January 2, 2012
You should have put these. :)
CaptJackSparrow - January 2, 2012
Soon...
Wonton Beef Stew - January 2, 2012
Imma rec that.

Will our defense
play with a chip on their shoulder today? It’ll be interesting to see if they can dial up the same 1st-half intensity we saw against LSU and sustain it for 4 quarters. Orson Charles may be playing his last game for us. He and Murray might be able to do something special today, playing in their hometown.
More importantly, is the GNB in Tampa, or did it get left behind in Athens? I want answers.

I’ll give you answers!
DavetheDawg - January 2, 2012
You know...
I highly doubt Coach Bobo left his precious green notebook in Athens today…

Wonton Beef Stew - January 2, 2012
It's close and I'm nervous.
(cracks open another cold one)

PLEASE NOTE FOR THOSE POSTING PICTURES:
Multiple offenders in a couple of threads so far, so I wanted to blast this in a general comment.
WHEN POSTING LARGE PICTURES, please add the words “height=300” in between the words “img” and “src” in the image tag. (You can play with the number to get the size right, but please don’t go above 300. If you need to post a size larger than that to show whatever you’re trying to show, then your picture is too large and needs to be cropped or something.)
For example, to troll Man United, you could do this (the text I added is bolded, and I changed the greater-than character to text at the end to keep it from posting the image):
<img height=225 src=“http://i522.photobucket.com/albums/w346/vineyarddawg/manumad.jpg” / (greater than sign)

Also put something in the comment's "Title" line.
Some users prefer to view the comments collapsed and to have the choice whether to expand a given comment to view what’s in it. Using the “Title” feature keeps the page from being encumbered by data-heavy images when so (collapsed) viewed. Thank you for your kind attention.

I am curious to see how up for this game Crowell will be....
Ogeechee River Dawg - January 2, 2012
Absolutely
He should be relatively healthy. He’s been saying all the right things. Time to back it up. It would help if we could block some for him, too.
I’m very excited to see what Boo can do, too. (unintentional poetry is unintentional.)

Lee Corso
just nailed the sentiment of the entire known universe regarding 6-6 teams in a bowl game. I just wished he would’ve capped his thoughts off with a good ol’, “Oh, F*** it!” for old time sakes.
DavetheDawg - January 2, 2012
Oh, I thought you meant that that's what he said.
Because that would be the most succinct way to sum it up.
vineyarddawg - January 2, 2012
It's sorta is what he said
when describing Florida’s offense.
DavetheDawg - January 2, 2012
FTFY:
It’s sorta what

Bonus points to Seth Emerson's fiancee, who trolled Michigan State fans hard this morning:
As mentioned on his blog entry this morning, she is from Michigan, drove down to Tampa with a big “M” sticker on her car, and was wearing her blue Michigan t-shirt this morning.
Troll hard, soon-to-be-Mrs.-Emerson.
vineyarddawg - January 2, 2012
Wow
That’s amazing.

Dawgs win a close win:

Just read
where Tennessee just lost their defensive coordinator and linebackers coach to Washington. No, not the Redskins…the Huskies.
Dooley has requested a transfer back to Louisiana Tech, but he denied himself.
DavetheDawg - January 2, 2012
He is a douche.
CaptJackSparrow - January 2, 2012
Dude.
Did i just see a flock of vultures fly north from Athens to Knox-vegas?
vineyarddawg - January 2, 2012
They're already there.
DavetheDawg - January 2, 2012
No D. Tyson
Makes me a sad panda.
TexasDawg86 - January 2, 2012
4 of our Seniors have two more collegiate games remaining
Cornerback Brandon Boykin, punter Drew Butler, offensive tackle Cordy Glenn and center Ben Jones will head to Mobile, Ala., for the Senior Bowl
Dawg2011 - January 2, 2012
Anybody else see the film-room segment Murray did with GGruden?
It was interesting but too short to really be anything all that useful. They also spent half the time watching Ben Jones trying to climb into the stands with the students, it looked pretty sad but was pretty funny too. Was hoping for more.
Southern Dawg - January 2, 2012
YES, we get Mike Tirico doing PBP!
Other than the fact that John Gruden comes along with him, that’s about the best possible draw we could have gotten.
vineyarddawg - January 2, 2012
But hey what's more fun than....
…making fun of Jon Gruden doing his best John Madden impressions?
Southern Dawg - January 2, 2012
We could have gotten
Dawg2011 - January 2, 2012
... and MSU only hit Aaron Murray one time...
… (That’s all they got? One G** D*** hit?)
I’d take it.
vineyarddawg - January 2, 2012
LOL and they lead the league in defensive categories,
Including back pedaling.
CaptJackSparrow - January 2, 2012
Just a friendly reminder
but the Georgia Bulldogs v. Michigan State Spartans Outback Bowl Open Comment Thread is open here
Dawg2011 - January 2, 2012
i thought thats what this was?
?
Southern Dawg - January 2, 2012
This is the pregame/late morning thread.
It helps to have a pregame thread so the real-game thread doesn’t get as cluttered with non-game-related stuff.
vineyarddawg - January 2, 2012
LOL We was rocking on.
CaptJackSparrow - January 2, 2012
20 min. to go!
this is better than counting down new years.
