C Fla vs da Bears

[SoonerPride]

Drive right down the field.

Boom

[SoonerPride]

Now we'll see if they have any defense at all that might slow down Baylor.

[colleyvillesooner]

Would be nice if you could even tell that was Baylor. looks like Army. Never knew black and gray were their colors.

[landrun]

Bears are looking bad.

[Turd_Ferguson]

I'd sure like to see a Big XII bowl win...

[SoonerPride]

I can't tell you how much I hate all these teams' stupid uniforms.

Ucla in black?
Where's the powder blues?

I blame Nike and the idiotic ducks.

BOOOOOOO

[Turd_Ferguson]

BOOOOOOO


Wurd. **** the ducks...

[winout]

UCF to the the XII?

[swardboy]

Did the teams put on each other's uniforms?

[tooslow]

Bears O and D getting manhandled. Of course, it is EXTREMELY early, kinda like Duke found out last night. lol

[soonergirlNeugene]

Kinda reminds me of how the Boise game started. Fiesta bowl matchups ftl

[Eielson]

I kinda thought about going on record saying I thought Baylor would struggle against UCF, but I didn't have the balls.

[tooslow]

Wow..... 14-0 UCF! They're Bayloring Baylor.

[OUinFLA]

uh, Baylor, did you think they wouldn't come to play against you?

Been there, done that, outcome is not good.

[Judge Smails]

14-0. Wow. Did not expect.

[okiewaker]

Good grief, Baylor unis are grotesque. Not even "new wave cool" in ANY way. Someone should get fired.

[olevetonahill]

I'd sure like to see a Big XII bowl win...

Prolly gonna have to wait till tomorrow night!

[swardboy]

UCF backs and receivers look big AND fast.

[winout]

Lotta good football players in Florida. Not many at UF now, though.

[JLMSOONER]

Did you just grow them since you just said it?

[JLMSOONER]

Well, maybe Baylor will have a better offense showing the 2nd time around.

[GreenSooner]

Did the teams put on each other's uniforms?

Just what I was thinking! By going with shiny, doorknob brass-colored helmets and black-for-black's-sake unis, Baylor is wearing UCF's colors. The UCF band (and most of their fanbase) are dressed just like the Bears.

[JLMSOONER]

Is sicem at the game or in the bathroom throwing up?

[Jacie]

Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, where good teams go to die.

[Soonerwake]

Watching this is making me a tad worried about the legitimacy of our conference. UCF looks like the more athletic team so far.

[8timechamps]

So many Baylor fans (granted, there isn't a ton) chalked this one up when it was announced. UCF has a lot of Florida talent, and some kids that transferred from better programs to get playing time. This isn't the same type of team we saw in UConn.

Baylor should pull this out, but it's not going to be easy...at least not for a while.

[Judge Smails]

LOL


Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, where good teams go to die.

[picasso]

Baylor wasn't the best team in our conference.

[8timechamps]

Watching this is making me a tad worried about the legitimacy of our conference. UCF looks like the more athletic team so far.

Eh, Tech beat ASU (and they were supposed to be "on fire"). KState beat Michigan pretty soundly. And, while it's not in our conference, Iowa gave LSU everything they wanted, which tells me that you can throw out the regular season in most of these games.

So many times in bowl games, it's about which team really wants to be there.

[Judge Smails]

After watching Duke and now UCF, I have decided I like being an underdog in bowl games.

[8timechamps]

After watching Duke and now UCF, I have decided I like being an underdog in bowl games.

Yep.

If it wasn't for Johnny Manzier, Duke would have won in a blowout.

[Judge Smails]

I didn't know the Big 12 had a "best team" this year. Baylor just had the fewest losses.




Baylor wasn't the best team in our conference.

[landrun]

Baylor wasn't the best team in our conference.

Yeah they were.

[Judge Smails]

Absolutely.




Yep.

If it wasn't for Johnny Manzier, Duke would have won in a blowout.

[birddog]

Baylors uniforms look awful. Good for them.

[Soonerwake]

And just like that Baylor wakes up.

[picasso]

Yeah they were.
I disagree. They were brutalized by pokey, who lost two games they really shouldn't have.

[Soonerwake]

I love the "brass doorknobs"... Perfect...

[Judge Smails]

I hope we don't come out with any "cute" uniforms against Alabama. We don't play well in anything outside of our normal uniforms. And sometimes, not even then.

[soonergirlNeugene]

lmao

[okiewaker]

Bears unis are sponsored by Big Lots.

[swardboy]

Saw RGIII on the sideline during pregame show. Some kid asked him to pose with him for a selfie. Hope his dad gave permission....RG senior I mean.

[Eielson]

I like Bortles and a couple other guys on UCF, but I'd still pick Baylor to pull this out by about 14.

[winout]

Hopefully da bears can tie it up here. Much better to be down 14 in first quarter than last.

[Turd_Ferguson]

Saw RGIII on the sideline during pregame show. Some kid asked him to pose with him for a selfie. Hope his dad gave permission....RG senior I mean.

Seen that as well. It looked like RGIII was telling him to step off...

[BoulderSooner79]

UCF backs and receivers look big AND fast.

Must be the uniform colors, but all the UCF players look big.

[Eielson]

WTF are they playing bowl games on natural grass? NOBODY PLAYS ON NATURAL GRASS ANYMORE. Not at any level.

[JLMSOONER]

lol at the Baylor chest bump taking out #3

[swardboy]

The Baylor long ball is off. If he can adjust that it's off to the races.

[JLMSOONER]

The Baylor long ball is off. If he can adjust that it's off to the races.

Yeah, I think Baylor is close to breaking this one open.

[olevetonahill]

Why am I LOL?
Good game 1

[Eielson]

I think Norwood pretty much confirmed UCF can't play with Baylor for much longer. Those 4 looked helpless trying to tackle him.

[oupride]

Baylor is still behind.

[olevetonahill]

Yeah, I think Baylor is close to breaking this one open.

You must be joking?
They are screwin up moren a ho on her back!

[olevetonahill]

I think Norwood pretty much confirmed UCF can't play with Baylor for much longer. Those 4 looked helpless trying to tackle him.

So far they Leadin !

[olevetonahill]

This game has just become the Keystone Cops !

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

WTF are they playing bowl games on natural grass? NOBODY PLAYS ON NATURAL GRASS ANYMORE. Not at any level.

Owen field says hi

[Eielson]

So far they Leadin !

I think I might have been wrong.

[Eielson]

Owen field says hi

Heh. Guess I missed that one pretty bad. Apparently it's about half and half for BCS schools. It appears just about everybody below BCS level has artificial turf, though.

[olevetonahill]

I think I might have been wrong.

Did Sam Make that TD fer Baylor?

[8timechamps]

I loved watching Chris Spielman play LB (even though I can't stand tOSU), and I think he is genuinely a good guy...but, he puts me to sleep in the booth.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Fiesta bowl really is garbage

[8timechamps]

Yeah, um, about UCF...

[Judge Smails]

Baylor is an embarrassment.

[BoulderSooner79]

I'd like to see Baylor win, but for some reason I'm LOL when their thug DBs are getting beat.

[Eielson]

Did Sam Make that TD fer Baylor?

That's what I was thinking.

I bet Rannell Hall's draft stock is soaring right now.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Sic 'em gotta be crapin' his pants

[Eielson]

Baylor gets ball to start half. They should be fine if they learn how to tackle Hall.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Baylor gets ball to start half. They should be fine if they learn how to tackle Hall.

That mismatch reminds of Sproles on Everage in 2003

[8timechamps]

I'd like to see Baylor win, but for some reason I'm LOL when their thug DBs are getting beat.

Yep, that's right where I am with this game. Want the Bears to win, just to keep the conference embarrassment level low. But, I'm also really enjoying this game. In a strange turn of events, I'm actually interested in this game and will probably watch the rest of it! I should be out on Bourbon Street, but since I'm a good father, we decided to stay at the hotel and watch football/order room service.

[GreenSooner]

I think Baylor may well still win this thing, but for much of that half they didn't play like they wanted to win it.

[BoulderSooner79]

...I should be out on Bourbon Street, but since I'm a good father, we decided to stay at the hotel and watch football/order room service.

Probably a good idea with all those tranny hookers roamin' around out there. :very_drunk:

[okiewaker]

I loved watching Chris Spielman play LB (even though I can't stand tOSU), and I think he is genuinely a good guy...but, he puts me to sleep in the booth.

The other fella has been wiping his hiney the entire game.

[tycat947]

Here's hoping Hypocrite U gets their butts kicked! Got my fingers crossed!!!

[soonergirlNeugene]

:texan: Baylor is losing on purpose so Texas loses interest in Briles :texan:

[Jacie]

Is that the 4th PI against the bears? Poor coaching of the BU linebackers and defensive backs.

[BoulderSooner79]

Every PI call has been because they are grabbing jerseys and pulling. It looks like this is the way they are coached to play and the SEC refs are calling it differently than they are used to.

[JiminyChristmas]

If Baylor stays behind much longer, the cheap shots will start flying.

By the way, no need to worry about conference embarrassment if they lose. The fact that they won our conference to begin with is the ultimate embarassment.

Go Knights!

[winout]

Not looking good for teh bears.

[BoulderSooner79]

Am I the only one that wishes they would stop putting that UCF coach on camera? That nose is gagging me and I can't enjoy my brew and cheetos.

[Judge Smails]

Central Florida > Big 12 Champion > Every Other Big 12 Team

Central Florida??

[Judge Smails]

What's up with the nose? Must have missed it.



Am I the only one that wishes they would stop putting that UCF coach on camera? That nose is gagging me and I can't enjoy my brew and cheetos.

[Soonerwake]

UCF looks much more prepared. They know, and can execute, exactly what hurts Baylor's defense. Makes me think that being able to run and pass might just be valuable..

[BoulderSooner79]

If Baylor stays behind much longer, the cheap shots will start flying….



^This. What's the over and under on Dixon (#6) getting an unsportsmanlike if the game gets out of hand?

[BoulderSooner79]

What's up with the nose? Must have missed it.

It's all scabby or cancer riddled or something.

[okiewaker]

This game is playing out almost exactly like the a/m vs Duke game.

[bluedogok]

Every PI call has been because they are grabbing jerseys and pulling. It looks like this is the way they are coached to play and the SEC refs are calling it differently than they are used to.
Baylor has been able to play that way all season, football officiating is becoming more like basketball officiating (wildly subjective) every season.

That the SEC officials are calling PI closer than the Big 12 officials have this year just shows how weird of a year that it is. In the past SEC officials wouldn't call PI unless you drew blood or had a compound fracture.

[Judge Smails]

Ugh.. Saw it.

Must be that healthy Florida sun...




It's all scabby or cancer riddled or something.

[winout]

Central Florida > Big 12 Champion > Every Other Big 12 Team

Central Florida??

This ain't your father's NCAA. FL is a growing population football factory. UCF to the Big XII.

[soonergirlNeugene]

These refs have been calling a pretty loose game for the most part.

[Judge Smails]

Had we not beat OSU, would OSU have been able to beat Central Florida?

I think the SEC refs do "let 'em play" for the most part. But that's just jamming at the line and hand fighting. They don't let the DBs grab jersey though.

[bluedogok]

This ain't your father's NCAA. FL is a growing population football factory. UCF to the Big XII.
UCF has almost 60,000 students, USF has around 48,000 students and a whole lot of players to recruit from just in Florida.

[bluedogok]

I think the SEC refs do "let 'em play" for the most part. But that's just jamming at the line and hand fighting. They don't let the DBs grab jersey though.
Oh I agree, its just that Baylor has got by with it all season. Just like Florida was used to the way the game was called (by ACC officials) and the OU receivers were used to getting PI calls all the time from the Big 12 officials. Just how they call the games varies greatly.

[EatLeadCommie]

Baylor's defense is playing this worst game of the season. That is the story of this game.

[Judge Smails]

So UCF was a 17 point underdog to Baylor?

In that case, I'm liking our chances against Bama.

[BoulderSooner79]

Oh I agree, its just that Baylor has got by with it all season. Just like Florida was used to the way the game was called (by ACC officials) and the OU receivers were used to getting PI calls all the time from the Big 12 officials. Just how they call the games varies greatly.

I think it was big east officials in that game, but valid point regardless. I consider it part of bowl prep to adapt to the officials assigned to the game.

[okiegirl]

This is doody! I know I am still old school, but ever big 12 team that wins, helps the big 12 and that means OU...every one that loses hurts the big 12 and OU....../sigh bastage bears!!

[BoulderSooner79]

Looks like Baylor needs to hang a half a hundred on them just like we did to WVU last season ;)

[dennis580]

The amount of penalties Baylor is producing is just insane.

[Jacie]

If BU is the most penalized team in the country, why is Briles considered such a hot commodity as a coach?

[EatLeadCommie]

The defense and untimely penalties.

[BoulderSooner79]

The SEC refs don't like the hurry up. They are calling procedure penalties that would not be called in the big12.

[bluedogok]

If BU is the most penalized team in the country, why is Briles considered such a hot commodity as a coach?
When you can recruit talent and hit on guys others miss on most of the time you can overcome mistakes.

Switzer's teams had a lot of that in some games with fumbles and penalties but yet were able to win most of the time. There have been plenty of Stoops teams who thought they could sleepwalk through games as well.

Nice hold on the left tackle on that SoL play.

[Soonerwake]

Really? Another 2007 shot?

[Soonerwake]

The defense and untimely penalties.

"Untimely"? How about a ****load??

[soonerloyal]

Aaaaand there's the %#)^&%* "Tostitos Fiesta Boise State Statue of Liberty play, defeating Oklahoma in 2007" obligatory reference again. Jeebus. :jaded:

[okiewaker]

Bowls on tap,,people still worried about whether Baylor wins helps us. Good f ******* grief. Lol

[oupride]

Really? Another 2007 shot?

Surprised?

[GreenSooner]

Do UCF fans chant "AAC! AAC!" at the end of a game like this?

[Eielson]

Unreal play by Bortles. That finished it.

[oupride]

How about that Blake "Football" Bortles?

[Judge Smails]

Baylor just got half a hundred hung on 'em.

Embarrassing.

[BoulderSooner79]

I ain't embarrassed. :very_drunk:

[olevetonahill]

Baylor just got half a hundred hung on 'em.

Embarrassing.

Tell that to Bamma!

[Eielson]

Wow. Baylor looks so undisciplined.

[GreenSooner]

Wow. Baylor looks so undisciplined.

Maybe Briles is just trying to show that he'd fit right in on the Whorns' sideline.

[Eielson]

Time for Briles to earn his paycheck with a couple of wild onsiders.

[Judge Smails]

He's not much of a clapper though.



Maybe Briles is just trying to show that he'd fit right in on the Whorns' sideline.

[soonerloyal]

This matchup had me torn, anyway. Wanting to root for Baylor & the Big 12 but I have "adopted" kiddos who attend/are alumni of UCF. Both programs have fought hard to bring their programs to a good level. I'm happy and sad at the same time. *sigh*

[dennis580]

17 penalties on Baylor

[soonergirlNeugene]

wow that stadium cleared out early

[Soonerwake]

UCF is a team that barely beat Temple. They just laid a whippin' on the Big XII champs.

Wow....

[Judge Smails]

Long drive to Waco...



wow that stadium cleared out early

[Sooner02]

Leave it to the Big12 champions to give a mid-tier program a launch in the Fiesta Bowl. The tradition continues.

[tycat947]

Hip, hip, HYPOCRITE U loses!!! I love it!!!

[okiewaker]

Appetizer. Real football starts tomorrow! Boomer!

[tycat947]

Wrong! There is nothing that Hypocrite U does which affects The University of Oklahoma! When Alabama lost to Utah it didn't affect one thing with the SEC nor Fla losing to Louisville last year. I long for the day that the Big 12 takes an enema and rids itself of Hypocrite U!

[Judge Smails]

From Baylorfans.com:



Open apology to the Big XII


Sorry!

Your Champion has embarrassed you.

[SanJoaquinSooner]

Sad day for Sic em. Sorry. I was pulling for Baylor too.

[BoulderSooner79]

I have no problem with any of the BU players except for their cocky, head-hunting DBs. And they had a huge hand in this loss by getting beat or committing pass interference or missing tackles down field. This feels like the football gods smiting them and I defer to the football gods wisdom.

[Judge Smails]

Also from Baylorfans.com:



Laughingstock Already



Somewhat reminds me of the prison raping taken by OU at the hands of USC in the Orange Bowl in 2004. Not as big of a blowout (so far), but maybe more embarrassing.

Baylor is clearly not ready for the big stage. Every time they have had the biggest of spotlights on them this season, they have embarrassed the school and the conference.

[okiewaker]

Only fitting that the tostitos reps presenting trophies are fat lards.

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

On one hand I was all "root for the conference".

Then I remembered that the BCS is no more, so conference, schmonference. No longer a factor in championships.

Then I remembered that if Baylor goes down in flames, our recruiting success can only go up.

Then I went, Go UCF!

I was curious if they would do the jersey pulling stunt that the big 12 doesn't call. Of course, it isn't just Baylor who does it as they learned it from us (Colvin grabs jersey on every play).

[Widescreen]

Hip, hip, HYPOCRITE U loses!!! I love it!!!

Why do you keep calling them that?

[BoulderSooner79]

I was curious if they would do the jersey pulling stunt that the big 12 doesn't call. Of course, it isn't just Baylor who does it as they learned it from us (Colvin grabs jersey on every play).

I think Baylor was clearly surprised by the refs in several ways. The jersey grabbing/PI was obvious. But several of those procedure calls looked *really* tightly called. They also got them for not being set long enough before the snap during hurry-up. I have to admit that when I watch many of the hurry-up teams, they do look sloppy and play loose with the procedure rules and most refs let it go.

That whole modern, high-scoring offense thing really must have thrown the SEC officials off.

[olevetonahill]

he's an Idiot!

[BoulderSooner79]

That whole modern, high-scoring offense thing really must have thrown the SEC officials off.

I can't say they did a poor job as they seemed consistent the whole game - just different. And none of the replays revealed any blatant bad calls that I can remember.

[Tear Down This Wall]

Long drive to Waco...

That's okay...another radio news report in Dallas today said that Baylor would probably lose money on the game because they only sold 11k of their 17.5k allotment. Unused ticket from the allotments are deducted from the payout to the schools.

Hey...Drayton McLane...short on dough? Couldn't bail your school out of their Fiesta Ticket Fiasco?

[JLEW1818]

Only fitting that the tostitos reps presenting trophies are fat lards.

Lol that is funny

[Okie35]

Said it all season Baylor is average away from Waco.

[soonerloyal]

They got it done during their season when we didn't (except for state orange). And we still have our BCS Bowl game to go, so... :ambivalence:

[oupride]

Leave it to the Big12 champions to give a mid-tier program a launch in the Fiesta Bowl. The tradition continues.

UCF was 17-point underdog in the Fiesta Bowl.

Yeah, I just like to randomly take shots at SEC offenses.
