Game # 1 Northwestern vs Tenn who do you like and why? Big Bowl Fest Day Today!

[Fred The Hammer]

That was pretty weak D from the Vols but maybe the missed XP will help?

[Fred The Hammer]

I do the same thing every year.....tear it up with the smaller bowls and then give it back w/the big ones? I was all over OU last night and I'm on Tenn and Ole Miss. Right now I'd take a split between Tenn and Ole Miss and quit while I'm slightly ahead

1 good drive out of 4? 1) which took a 4th down desperate attempt and 2) one turnover already. So, if they continue to hold a team to having a successful drive 25% of the time I think anyone would take that.

Hopefully the Vols will run down the filed and score again before half and take some time off the clock while doing so.

Time management is key now.

How in the hell did they just miss that holding on NW? That was so obvious when they held the TE right in front of the official. Major screw job

I'm amazed they missed the holding on 1st down.

[NardVa]

Tennessee has the better QB.....

It's looking likes these fukking refs are trying to fix this game somehow for NW!!!

Big Ten we always get embarrassed on the big stage by the SEC. Big Ten doesn't do a good job recruiting athletes at the skill positions.

Well I have Tenn -2 and Ole Miss -1.5 on a tease but I also put some on Tenn -11.5 live so any NW TD is a problem

hopefully that cashes the vols 1st half right there. had to take a little nap so dont know how the defense playing, i would think they can keep NW out of the endzone in these last 2 min

I don't know? The SEC isn't dominating like they were. Ohio State beat Bama last year. Mich St beat Georgia when Cousins was their QB. Kids from Texas/Florida/deep south will almost always have a speed advantage because kids can be outside running around all year growing up.

Yoohoo Tenn scores again!

17 - 6

Now hold NW to no score!

[Fred The Hammer]

TD...nice answer. That penalty was huge!!

[SBRMAN23]

this guy is a terrible player offsides and he runs it hahaha

[GIVEMETHEMONEY]

TD...nice answer. That penalty was huge!!

Are the refs finally pulling their heads out their asses and calling the plays fairly instead of trying to give the game to NW?

[GIVEMETHEMONEY]

Won my first half bet for Tenn -6.5

So far looking great on all my games!

[NardVa]

I hope Northwestern has another option at QB after the half..Thorson want cut it...

Yep that's the way it's looking.

I took both for the half and the game!

It just looks like the Vols have a much better team all the way around.

[NardVa]

I thinkThorson has more sack yards than passing yards...lol...this dude really sucks...if I was Northwestern I would put Zack Oliver in for the hell of it ..it can't get any worse on offense...

WOW that is pretty damn bad NardVa, really pretty damn bad!

[GIVEMETHEMONEY]

Tennessee about ready to score again!

Go Volunteers!

I bet ya Manning is happy on this game today!

[GIVEMETHEMONEY]

Tenn just went for it on 4th down and got and they could have easily kicked the field goal!

[GIVEMETHEMONEY]

Tenn Scores!! 23 - 6

[NardVa]

Starting with Houston and FSU yesterdy every bowl has been a blowout. Trend continues with Northwestern and Tennessee. New Years Eve and New Years Day is a big let down for Bowls.

[NardVa]

Northwestern has to let the backup QB get a shot..Oliver can't do any worse than Thorson. 7-16 for 49 yards with 2 INTs.

Yep you're right.

Why keep sticking with the same loser now?

Give the guy a shot!

[GIVEMETHEMONEY]

Tenn 31 - 6

[jimminn]

Northwestern next time you get a bowl invite , please decline it because you don't know how to compete. Hope they kick you out of the Big Ten .

[cmatth1326]

Ok. Let's run the ball rather than at least try and get a score for good measure. Never mind. I forget that NW can't catch. How in the world did this team win any games?
