Bowl Week Recap Yr1

Heisman is the debate, is it too much? Should we always use it? Does it even make a difference? We would learn all of this in the first SGLNCAA post-season.

First off we start with Mike Paulus, and North Carolina, who finished 2^nd in the ACC behind the eventual NCAA Champion Miami Hurricanes, The got a strange draw as the headed to the Chic Fila Bowl to face off against the Mississippi St. (SEC #4). It was a strange matchup in the fact that Clemson (ACC#3) got an at large bid to play in a BCS bowl. Feeling Slighted Team G3NS handled M St quickly jumping to a 28-0 lead after the first and never looking back. After the game Coach Gens had this to say, “Heisman, what a joke, feels like varsity to me”, a joke it was indeed.

Syracuse, O the Syracuse Orange, deathly afraid of the Jump to the Desmond Howard level. Quoted as saying I will have no chance on Heisman and it will suck, well when you win the Big East Title as Syracuse, its time to look into it. In the real world we’d be looking at point shaving and possible steroid allocations or money from Boosters. Syracuse played Wisconsin (Big Ten #2) If I knew of the matchup I would have thrown the Big Ten title just to beat on the Orange one more time. The won a close game proving themselves as a worthy team to look out for next year but still a few years off from making a run at the Cup.

Notre Dame, the eternal last place in coaches poll first place in media poll, although they did impress with a record breaking recruiting season( 12 blue-chipper 5stars, next closest was 4) They have been claiming that want to play at the Heisman level the whole time but leading 7-6 late over Florida St (Miami beat’em) FSU continued to drive down the field and hit a Field goal to give them the lead as time expired. This would be the most realistic game in all of the Post-Season. Once again leaving Notre Dame as the laughing stock of the SGL.

Michigan, what a Rose Bowl, with star Freshman slot guy, McGuffie out for the Game early, they start behind but go for a pick 6 as time expired in the 2^nd half, Down 10-7, QB Steven Threet(peat), who was once benched for the remainder of the season, scrambled on third and goal for the go ahead TD making it 14-10 with 1:44 left in game. ASU would drive and end up throwing short in hopes of turning to a big game from just outside the red zone, they would be stopped short. Game Michigan, Rose Bowl Michigan, Tan Everywhere, Jan Everywhere.

The Featured Game was the Hurricanes vs the utes(what a weak squad.). When discussing the Heisman jump with Coach Ackermann, prior to kickoff we had this conversation:

“Lets Jump to Heisman Permanently”

 “let me get my ring first”

“If not now then never”

            “You say get’em I say got’em lol”

And so it was Miami beats the Undermanned Mormans. And the shocker of came in his post game press conference in which he announced he has done everything there is to do, and would be perusing new challenges for him and his ego. I know one happy coach in the Raleigh-Durham Area right now.
