I dunno about striped, but definitely stripped. Talk about a momentum-killer for FSU...

My bad. I thought hoopster was referring to UND fans still wanting their coach fired despite a win today. I mis-read his post.

Hey Oxbow6, how about the UND Montezumas? Welcome back.

18-13 at the half, Oregon over Florida State. I think FSU's early decision to go for it on 4th and goal with the score 8-3 was a mistake.

EDIT: Original Post deleted because of my lack of reading comprehension today.

Can you imagine the buzz this game would generate if it were held in Stockholm, Prague, Berlin, or Moscow? I like your idea.

Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Washington, New York, Boston, Buffalo. That's it.

We can't confuse hockey fans by having Calgary, Montreal, or Vancouver in one of these games?

Saw that a while back and thought the exact same thing...you see Oregon's duck, Brutus the Buckeye, Alabama's elephant...and two Seminole fans, one painted gold and one painted garnet.

Wow again...congratulations to the Michigan State Spartans on their Cotton Bowl win. What a comeback. Mark Dantonio is cementing a legacy there in East Lansing. 4 straight bowl wins for Sparty.

Well, they hung 41 on the Spartans...just didn't see MSU going from 14 to 42. Wow!

LOL! Re-wound the DVR thanks to your post. Seriously laughed out loud. Ow!

Didn't they win a title just a few years ago? I think all of Auburn's prayers were used up last year against Alabama.

Hold the phone on Baylor vs Michigan State...41-35 now, but Baylor is driving...

I'm not a Wild fan at all...in fact, I'm a Red Wings fan. The NHL ripped this idea off from the original Heritage Classic game between Montreal and Edmonton and has now made a circus out of it. Toronto was the 1st Canadian team to play one of these games and they had to absolutely beg to be chosen as a participant. Now it's morphed into Stadium Series games to appease others who want to do this. In 2011, Calgary hosted Montreal in a second Heritage Classic game and the NHL couldn't be bothered to try to hype it. The 2014 Heritage Classic had Vancouver hosting Ottawa...did you hear anything in the media at all about it? Nope.

That's assuming most casual fans want to watch Chicago on New Year's Day almost every year...I don't like the exclusion of Canadian teams and hate seeing this event limited to the Detroits, Chicagos, Pittsburghs, and Washington DCs of the NHL.

I created a new thread over in non-collegiate sports for the Winter Classic chatter. See ya over there. Go USA! Beat Russia!

Totally get what you're saying about marketing the game, but, unfortunately, it pretty much only means those of you in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Washington DC. Everyone else? Get in line. And if you live in Canada, the NHL apparently doesn't care.

I started this so as to avoid clogging up the World Jr thread over in Hockey...

That's the joke I was going for! All hail Barry!

Auburn doinks a field goal off the right upright in OT. 34-31 Wisconsin over Auburn. LSU...Ole Miss...Mississippi State...Auburn... Barry Alvarez announced in on-field chat with ESPN that he has fired Mike Riley and will coach the Badgers himself next season.

34-21...and then Baylor promptly scores again. 41-21 with 4:00 left in the 3rd and the entire 4th left yet. Bears marching for 50!

Wisconsin ties it at 31 thanks to a last-second field goal. Looks like the Outback Bowl is headed to overtime.

Melvin Gordon...same thing. 30 seconds left but struggling with tacklers fighting for an extra foot when he could have stepped out of bounds easily. Wisconsin forced to use a time-out.
