OGT: Motor City Bowl - Anybody Going?

[CMUBilly]

What an amazing game with such a heartbreaking ending. When they scored to tie it at 48, for the first time at a sporting event I actually jumped up and down and started hugging and high-fiving people I didn't know It's too bad that they just romped on them the last minute. I told my friend when they took that knee to line up the game-ender that, really, Big Ten kickers shouldn't miss straight shots from 40 yards away.

That third quarter was something out of Tecmo Bowl. 3 TD's in the first 5 minutes of the half, nutty. It could have been where I was sitting, but I've never heard a crowd louder than last night - I've been to 1 Lions game, 1 Wings game, 2 Michigan games, 1 Michigan State game, several Tigers games and lots of CMU games in Mt. Pleasant - and that place was just crazy, both when they tied it at 41 and for sure tying at 48.

A loss is a loss, you can only take so much from it. And it will especially suck if we lose *another* coach back to back years, but we'll have LeFevour for at least one more year It was a fun experience, and since I can't make it to Mt. Pleasant as much as I'd like, I'd take every opportunity available to watch them in my backyard.

At least we can go for the MAC three-peat next year, and Terry, Drew was right - you missed a doozie . Fire Up Chips!

Why did Terry not go? I didn't hear his reason on the show. I was busy with the family and then off to the game.

PLEASE don't quote me cause I was working (well, trying to work!) when he was talking about he wasn't going, but I *thought* it had something to do with the relative position of the MCB in the hierarchy of the bowl system, and the fact that in the grand scheme the bowl's just really not that important.

Truth can come and correct me, I may have misheard, but I think that was the general idea of it. Hey, the way I look at it, I'm fully aware that we were playing a team in the bottom half of the Big Ten and that in the grand scheme of the FBS (does that sound as stupid to you as it does to me?) it doesn't mean much...but when you went to the "C" you GOTTA rep the "C"

[Chippewa97]

Oh, so he was selling out was he. If that is why, then that is how I will interpret his move. I agree with you, you gotta rep the "C" just like the sign at the game!

Finally recovered from the game yesterday....repped anyone in this thread that seemed Pro-CMU--spreading love like a drunk freshman girl at the Wayside......fire up chips!

[GreenEagle]

I was gonna go but decided not to, I had some friends who went and had a good time and it was a good game, I missed out.

Classic right there.

I ended up going and had a blast. Great game to watch, even though nobody played any defense to talk about.

Showed my out of town buddies a few hot spots including the Ellwood and got to see Katrina Hancock in person. She is one big girl, no doubt about that!

Could be interesting with Davis up for WV job, but Chips could run it again next year with that offense alone.

Also, who would have thought that the CMU v Purdue game in Detroit would outdraw the MSU v BC game in number of people at the game..I mean warm weather in Orlando.........

Props to the people at the game
