That was my first thought. SMU is ranked and on long win streak - this does make our game against BC look even better.

Different conditions , match-ups etc......but we scored twice as many points on BC than #24 SMU has so far late in the 4th Q

This was a big W for BC.....particularly for Hafley.

Initially. On their first drive, BC looked overmatched. Close game until the end. Announcers made a big deal over Castellanos but Sluka has it all over him. Biggest takeaway was how many dropped passes by SMU. They apparently are not used to playing in inclement weather.

Great to see that Coach Curran understands the importance of challenging your team against top flight FBS programs. A nice pay day as well. another team we should playing regularly, particularly with the Nathan Pine and hockey connection...... Better be a big guarantee. That would be a lot more expensive than the trip to B.C. Maybe they could send one of their jets over to pick up the team

For those who “hate” the Eagles, remember every success they have makes our close loss look even better. Too late. Nothing the NCAA Committee can do about it now other than fuether realize they screwed up!

4th Quarter: USC 35 Louisville 28 12:51 left. Pretty fun game. What a luxury to have a guy to have, in his 1st career start, go for 371 and 6 TDs.....A different world Joe P. says "hello". Over 300 yards and 3 tds. Generated 42 points (plus a pick 6 to get to 49)

Didn't necessarily favor either side, but the officiating crew let anything go in terms of pass interference.

QB Brennan Armstrong of NC St plays like Sluka - now playing Kansas St on ESPN if you want to see how a run first qb plays at fbs level

His 31 yard td run was very Sluka-like.

Friday, Dec. 29
Gator Bowl No. 22 Clemson vs. Kentucky Jacksonville, Florida 12 p.m. | ESPN
Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl No. 16 Notre Dame vs. No. 19 Oregon State El Paso, Texas 2 p.m. | CBS
Liberty Bowl Memphis vs. Iowa State Memphis, Tennessee 3:30 p.m. | ESPN
Cotton Bowl No. 7 Ohio State vs. No. 9 Missouri Dallas, Texas 8 p.m. | ESPN
Nice matchup for the Sun Bowl (even without many of the star players). I was lucky to be at the 1990 game in El Paso to see a great Michigan State over USC game with Todd Marinovitch.

Interesting that Notre Dame will kick off their bowl game at the same time HC plays Elms. However will one decide what to watch?

Nothing in sports is a given. Celts, with best record in the NBA, needed OT to beat the Pistons who were riding a 27 game losing streak. Think I'll watch mostly ND today but some HC/Elms. In the abstract, aren't all sports games meaningless?

Simple, go to the Hart Center and watch the Elms game live and with no intended offense to NDgrad, don’t watch them, or, alternatively simply record/tape the game for later viewing.

Not like if you watch the ND game in real time the ticker will flash the score of HC/Elms while you're watching and ruin it for you. So you can do the opposite as well.

Oh yeah, they're definitely more for background noise.
If the HC game gets sweaty, I won't be having a good afternoon

I do get jealous of that sunny El Paso weather when I watch the Sun Bowl it on TV. It'll be VERY sunny and mid fifties there at gametime (Noon mountain time). Some years it is a tad warmer.
