I watched the first quarter live in the air studio and then some of it at home before turning it off for Jeopardy. Georgia Tech looked like they wanted to be anywhere but Detroit on December 26th (that probably goes for a lot of other people)
It was the last game for Tech coach Paul Johnson and he was often seen on the sideline just gazing to the heavens, or the ceiling at Ford Field.
Minnesota 34 Georgia Tech 10
What Did I Eat: Some Archer Farms Tex Mex snack mix, I have a big container of it.
Bowl Swag: $175 Best Buy gift card, JBL over the ear wireless ear buds, lifesize Fathead decal for each player in his likeness, Quick Lane bowl backpack, shirts, mini helmet and football. For a crap game, that's a pretty nice haul.
My Pick: Georgia Tech, thought they'd win one for coach.
And just when you thought the games couldn't get worse...
It will be hard for any game to give this one a run for worst game of bowl season. For a while it fell into the "so bad it's good" category. There were six interceptions in the first half. TCU was starting a quarterback for the first time - in his final game. He literally had no concept on how to play the position and TCU won.
Son No. 2 and I watched until the end of the third quarter. The best thing I can say about this game is that the logo is really well done, incorporating the Arizona flag into a Cheez-It. Also, did you know there are 16 varieties of Cheez-Its? We did not.
TCU 10 Cal 7 (OT) - such was the horribleness of this game that they forced fans to watch more of it in overtime.
What Did I Eat: Nothing
Bowl Swag: Fossil watch, JBL Charge 3 Bluetooth speaker, Baggo bag toss tailgate cornhole set, Yeti Roadie 20 cooler, Yeti Rambler, RuMe reveal quart bag, Branded Bills cap, Dollar Shave club starter set. The players should have been forced to give all this stuff back.
My Pick: Cal, brutal day.
My record drops to 12-7 with three more games today.
