BYU vs. Tulsa: Pick 'Em & Open Thread

Our current record in bowl pick 'em as a blog is 10-4 (.714)


9-3 Independent

Armed Forces Bowl
Gerald Ford Stadium
Dallas, TX
11:00 am CST
TV: ESPN


8-4 (7-1) 2nd C-USA East

This is likely to be another game with a gaudy final scoreline (not as gaudy as Baylor vs Washington, but gaudy.) Tulsa finished the regular season 8-4 with their losses coming to Oklahoma, Boise State, Oklahoma State and Houston. There's certainly no shame in any of those losses, though they were beaten pretty soundly in all of them. Despite all of the hype surrounding Houston, Tulsa was still in a position to win their division on the last day of the regular season as the two teams squared off in a contest of conference undefeateds. BYU is in their first year of their experiment as an independent. Though they've put together a 9-3 record, it's come against pretty weak competition. Tulsa is a two point favorite.

I'm watching.

Caucasians as far as the eye can see.

At least the RBR poll record gives me somebody to root for in each game.

Nothing can be as bad as last night.

I truly thought I’d see Spielman leave the booth and jack-slap the crap out of both defensive coordinators.

instead of some dummy pretend it was great offensive football.

Nice block...

Did you see the block by the big fella. No helmet. He took all that frustration out on the defender. That’s how you block when there is absolutely no sex in your life.

#26 is owning the field.

That’d be his third pick if not for a penalty negating the first one.

Listening on the radio here...

Last night on the local news they showed BYU practicing THAT PLAY. It was bizarre to find out it won the game!

The fake spike fooled nobody
