A Long Day For BC In Shreveport

((HT: Pac-12 Digital/ESPN))

The ACC is having their problems this year in bowl games- and they may have more tonight, depending on the level of motivation of JFF...

Ka'Deem Carey and the son of some guy named Griffey had a big day for RichRod and Arizona as they rolled Boston College in the Independence Bowl, 42-19...

Arizona never trailed and was up 42-6 in the fourth quarter. The Wildcats held BC's Andre Williams to only 75 yards, but that figure still has him as the 5th best all-time in NCAA history with 2,177 yards.

William Parks put a stomp on the game early with this 69-yard pick-6 to give Arizona a 14-6 lead and they never, really, looked back...

Your Ticket Oak Update: Want To Go Bowling...???

The HQ figured, with the holidays approaching, that we would give you a quick update on ticket prices for your favorite upcoming bowl game...

We'll do this alphabetically... and, remember, this does not include the idea of getting tickets through the schools themselves...
((HT: Stubhub))

The title game: Surprisingly enough, you can still get in the door for $1,195...parking passes are $30 and FanZone tickets are $20

Fiesta Bowl: $155 to get in the door...

Orange: The Northern Illinois-FSU game is $5 upper deck and the HQ is debating getting tickets- just to say we got tickets for the Huskies Bee-Cee-Ess appearance

Rose: $150 in the upper sections

Sugar: Terrace Level for $62, but it is Florida-Louisville

Alamo: $50 in the upper level endzone

Armed Forces: There are $19 endzone seats, but $45 from there...

BBVA Compass: Strangely enough, there aren't any tickets... the HQ guesses it's Ole Miss speaking there...

Beef O'Brady's: $43 gets upper deck

Belk: A lot of $19 upper deck tickets

Buffalo Wild Wings: $21 upper deck

Cap One: Upper-level corner for $24

Chick-fil-A: $38 upper level

Cotton: Standing Room for $101, if you want to sit it's 3x that...

Idaho Potato: $45 can get you in, but you can go lower level for another $20

Gator: Upper corners at the Gator Bowl are $3 and $4, but it is Miss State and Northwestern

GoDaddy: Very few tickets remain and parking passes are even more expensive than getting in the door...

Heart of Dallas: $62 gets you, actually, in the lower corner...

Holiday: $53 and $54 for the corners...

Independence: Lower endzones are $23, but I would think the Louisiana-Monroe folks will snap those up pretty quickly...

Kraft Fight Hunger: Endzone bleachers are $63

Liberty: A lot of tickets between the 20's are in the $50 for Iowa State and Tulsa

Little Caesars: Lower level endzone is $59

MAACO Las Vegas: Corners for $32

Meineke/Texas: Loge in the 500-levels are $24, but parking passes for Reliant are more...

Military: Nothing left for San Jose State and Bowling Green (good for them...)

Music City: Upper level in the 300's are $6,7 and $8... and there are over 5,000 tickets left

New Mexico: Upper level tickets at the 50 are in the neighborhood of $20

Outback: Mid-level corner seats are $90 and $100 and there are less than 2,000 seats left...

Pinstripe: Bleacher seats are $93 and then there are $97 seats that are actual seats...

Poinsettia: Upper levels are $50 and endzones are $65

Russell Athletics: Upper-level corner seats are $6 and there are, apparently, a lot of them...

Sheraton Hawai'i: Lower-level sideline are available for $41

Sun: Endzone seats for $21 and sideline seats start at $25

Happy shopping... we'll keep you posted...

La Tech Explains Not Going To The Independence Bowl

((HT: KNOE-TV))

If this doesn't confirm one way or the other that Spike Dykes could, would, or should leave Louisiana Tech. the HQ doesn't know what would...

Your athletic department asks for more time to go to a bowl game and doesn't get to go bowling period in a slam-dunk situation to get a payday when they either asked for more time and didn't get it or turned down a bowl bid...

A local opportunity at that...
Here's sound from the LA Tech AD...
KNOE 8 News; KNOE-TV; KNOE.com |

And, just so you know, Louisiana-Lafayette can't get enough tickets for this matchup...

You tell us where the screw up in all of this is...

What say you, college football fan...???

OSG Bowling: Missouri Gets First Ess-E-Cee Win, Wild INT Helps A Little...

((HT: ESPN/phillies1801))

It was easy to see who wanted to show up and who rolled over in the Independence Bowl in Shreveport- and the answer wasn't North Carolina...

It was the Ess-E-Cee beating the ACC all over again...

And this play seemed to epitomize the whole day...


Everett Withers is heading to be the new DC with Corch Meyers, so what did it matter, right...???

Mizzou won 41-24 and it wasn't that close...
