Mack Brown is obsessed with Wind.

Celebration Bowl
Grambling St 10 NC Central 9 (Never heard of it...don't care)

The Celebration Bowl is a post-season college football bowl game that began play in the 2015 season. The game is played at Atlanta's Georgia Dome between the champions of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and the Southwestern Athletic Conference—the two prominent conferences of Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in NCAA Division I. It serves as a de facto national championship of Black college football

The game is a successor to two previous bowl games between the MEAC and SWAC, the Pelican Bowl and Heritage Bowl. The game is organized by ESPN Events,[1]which also runs the MEAC/SWAC Challenge, the annual interconference game between the two conferences, held over Labor Day weekend in Orlando, Florida.

here is why Grambling St won the game too!

As fate would have it, Saturday’s Celebration Bowl between North Carolina Central and Grambling State was decided by...a celebration.

Central Eagles senior wideout Quentin Atkinson made perhaps the biggest catch of his life, bringing in a 39-yard pass that put his school within one point of Grambling State in the final moments of his last collegiate game. Then, he cost them.

Atkinson removed his helmet in what was a glorious celebration, earning an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and moving the extra point back 15 yards.




Yeah, you guessed it, 15 yards further back was too far for kicker Brandon McLaren.

The score would stay 10–9 for the remainder of the game, and Grambling State took home the win. Don’t celebrate in the Celebration Bowl.

I saw the Jermaine FunnyMaine Johnson video about fifteen minutes after I posted the aforementioned quote. Hearing that and seeing what you posted, @rick4bama , now that's a great study case of irony!

The smaller bowl matchups this year are the most boring, unexciting i've ever seen. The first bowl game I can muster interest in watching is the viles vs. turkeys on friday... but I have other obligations...

 

[TUSKtimes]

I guess we can add another potential 1st round draft pick who is skipping his bowl game to prepare for the upcoming NFL draft. With Fournette you could argue, why risk injury? With Christian McCaffrey, it's more just about the draft. The times they are a-changin'.

McCaffrey won't play

Armed Forces Bowl has been entertaining if your ok with schitt defense. 31-24 LaTech leads Navy at half.

Troy is playing like Dollar General prices...loooooww! Glad there's an Indiana Jones marathon on.

You right @EasyTider I took navy in the Cap. One Mania pick, but got it right in the sportsbook pick with -6 on LT and over 67 finish scores was 48-45.

 

[bama alum]

As bad as Troy looks, Ohio looks worse. Four turnovers with six-plus minutes left in the first half? Wow...

 

[Sgt. Lincoln Osiris]

So Miami (OH) player ejected for targeting in the 4th Q of the St. Pete's bowl vs Mississippi State.

Being the last game of the season, does the player disqualification portion of the penalty carry over to the next season if he's an underclassman?

 

[EasyTider]

Somehow State pulls this one off and SEC begins Bowl season 1-0. Fortunately only a few thousand saw that one because it will take a few days to wash the stink off of the St. Petersburg Bowl.

 

[TUSKtimes]

That truly had to be the most stupid use of a clock on that last drive since Les Miles. Ohio let the time run with timeouts to spare knowing they had an iffy kicker at best.

It looked like it was more of a case of State easily winning the LOS, and therefore, was able to be block the kick than it wa the case of a shaky kicker. I mean, he was. He wasn't demonstrating any positive body language beforehand.

Quick Lane Bowl? Huh?

 

[EasyTider]

Quick Lane Bowl? Huh?

I'm guessing Quick Lane is one of the many oil change shops?

I think a Quick LUBE Bowl would attract more interest.

PS-WTF is the story behind Maryland helmet?

Half state flag, half...we suck, so need some kind of attention...Like a scratch toy for Predator.
