Bowl Season is Upon us. --Open Thread for New Mexico and St. Petersburg Bowls--

by kriess on Dec 19, 2009 3:44 PM CST

Ah, finally. Bowl season is upon us fresh after a beautiful win over North Carolina in Arlington on the court. Two of our past opponents (victims) are playing tonight. Wyoming will take on Ryan Matthews and Fresno State on ESPN currently in progress, and UCF will take on Rutgers tonight in the St. Petersburg Bowl. Apparently the winner gets free cover to the various late night "dancing" studios throughout the Tampa Bay Metroplex. Totally not worth it. Open thread below.

Out of Texas' 4 OOC opponents

2 are playing in bowls today…. ULM finished 6-6 (bowl eligible, right?) and UTEP, despite finishing 4-8, toppled a good Houston team that has a jedi for a QB.

Not exactly the terrible lineup they were made out to be.

Alvester Alexander

just cruised along the way to paydirt. 65 yards for a TD. Wyoming up 7-0. Surprised? Me too.

Get off your knees Greg, you're blowin' the game.

He threw up the double “hook em horns” after scoring. Attaboy!

Fresno State playing Wyoming in the 1st half like we did.

Fresno intercepts

and scores a couple of plays later to go up 28-17. My 34 confidence pick feeling better now.

28-25 Fresno with 10 min left in the 4th

Wyoming is keeping the game interesting. My 32 confidence pick is less confident now…

"Every time you turn on ESPN you see Bama" - Earl Thomas' answer when asked what excites him most about the National Championship.

To all Houston sports fans, Houston is the 4th biggest city in America, there will be traffic on the way to your respective sports game. Come Early, Be Loud, Stay Late.
