College Bowl Mania: Who Picked Whom (http://games.espn.go.com/bowlmania/whopickedwhom)

Air Force is up 14-0 early in the 2nd quarter. I had thought Cal had more pride than this, after being as high as #2 in the nation. They lose a squeeker to Oregon St., then went on a free-fall that Gamecock fans can relate to. I thought the bowl practices would be their chance to right their ship, but it looks like they will finish 6-7 after starting 5-0......

[GatorBait15]

I picked the Force them boys have way more to play for! they value the right to step on that field and for the seniors to step on that field one last time.

[lacene]

Now 21-0, still early in the 2nd. This games a write-off for the Cal boys.......they have no will.....

[ugafan48]

Air Force is unstoppable. 3 possessions, 3 touchdowns. I knew AF would win since they have that option offense crap.

[lacene]

now 21-7

So is Longshore already out of the game?? I'm not near a TV....

[GatorBait15]

If they score I am turning it off I must be bad luck! 21 0 when I turned it on.

[ugafan48]

I hate when that happens. Always happens to me when I turn on the Titans.

[GatorBait15]

14 21 Kevin Riley is the qb now he is 6-7 with two tds now : (

[ugafan48]

Kevin Riley should come out. AF was doing good. Or maybe Cal just needed to wake up. Either way, at least they're making it interesting.

[GatorBait15]

Cal has turned on, they are dominating the game now and containing the offense that Air force runs.

[ugafan48]

Maybe AF should give it to that #1 player. He seems to be holding his own fairly well.

[GatorBait15]

It will be a close game at the half and the better coach will win it...the halftime adjustment will be a big factor...

[ugafan48]

Good thing for AF that they get the ball back after the half.

[GatorBait15]

I am worried about this game now... but I just realized this is only my #2 conf. game so who cares now : /

[ugafan48]

I'm glad that there's another game on during the FSU vs. UK game. FSU will lose patheticaly.

[lacene]

21-14 at the half. It's a game again, and the Riley kid coming into the game seems to have lit up the Cal offense. This was what I envisioned before the game....Cal is supposed to be a good team, despite their slump during the season.....


Only 17 passing yards for AF! I can remember when they had some explosive passing offenses there....it's certainly changed a bit since then.

[GatorBait15]

Thank god that was reversed!

[lacene]

Cal creeping closer: 24-21 AF, with a little over 6 minutes left in the 3rd..

[BamaFanNKy]

His knee just got f'd up. Good goal line stand for Cal.

[Tennessee Ted]

That was pretty gross. I hope he is okay. This is turning in to a really good game.

[BamaFanNKy]

Cal takes the lead.

[lacene]

Cal up 28-27 end of the 3rd....

Cal has outscored AF 28-6 since the 21-0 start....

[Tennessee Ted]

Cal just has too much speed. They are up 35-27.

[BamaFanNKy]

TD Cal...... Could get ugly with the QB out for AF. Having players suspended at the beginning of the game didn't help Cal.

[BamaFanNKy]

Another TD for Cal.... getting ugly.

[GatorBait15]

Well I had AF at 2 so whats it matter.

[lacene]

Cal has outscored AF 42-9 since being down 21-0 early....

[BamaFanNKy]

They better score quick after this fumble if they want a shot.

[BamaFanNKy]

TD AF. Enough time on clock. Hall is a stud short white boy.

[lacene]

California wins 42-36!!

Had a few vbets on this, with the spread at -5.5 for Cal. I squeeked by as close as I possibly could....

[Tennessee Ted]

I saw Cal's first game and their last game this year and was very impressed with each. I cannot believe in between they lost six games. What happened to this team.

[BamaFanNKy]

Nate Longshore rolled his ankle bad and it caused havoc to the offense. Plus playing in the Pac 10 is tough. I know most don't believe me.

[Tennessee Ted]

Yea, but that back up looked great.

[GatorBait15]

The backup choked vrs OSU he got sacked in field goal range when he could have through it away kick a field goal and live to see another day! after that it went down hill.

[BamaFanNKy]

The Pac 10 shot themselves in the foot all year. Dixons injury, USC sleeping on Stanford, ASU every chance they got. pitful.

[Tennessee Ted]

The backup choked vrs OSU he got sacked in field goal range when he could have through it away kick a field goal and live to see another day! after that it went down hill.

Yea they showed that clip. What a bonehead play. I guess you learn from stupid stuff like that.

[BamaFanNKy]

He's a freshman. Lot more pressure than those games playing in the CIF (California H.S.) playoffs.
