2016-17 Donkey Bowl Contest

[Mavric]

Armed Forces Bowl - Louisiana Tech 48, Navy 45

 

Louisiana Tech can apparently play offense. Not so much defense but YOLO...

 

RedTexan and Mavric picked up 5 points.

Dollar General Bowl - Troy 28, Ohio 23

 

The Frakies put up a fight but can't overcome five turnovers. Ohio's QB might be the only guy in the country with a lower release than TA.

 

Red Five, GM_Tood, Lil' Red and Mavric pick up the max 5 points.

Heart of Dallas Bowl - Army 38, North Texas 31

 

Glad Army could beat North Texas. Otherwise I'd be worried about the future of our military.

 

RedTexan, obert1, GSG5545 and Mavric picked up the max 5 points.

Military Bowl - Wake Forest 34, Temple 26

 

Temple's QB throws for 396 yards and yet they lose.

 

Everyone picked Temple - seems to be quite a few of those games this year. HuskermanMike still managed to salvage 1 point.

[Mavric]

Holiday Bowl - Minnesota 17, Washington State 12

 

Minnesota holds WSU to their lowest point total of the season. Leach bemoans bunting. All in a Holiday's work.

 

HuskermanMike was the only one to pick Minny and scores the max 10 points, moving up two spots in the standings.

[Mavric]

Cactus Bowl - Baylor 31, Boise State 12

 

Apparently Boise State forgot to show up. Or they're not that good in the first place.

 

GM_Tood was the only one to pick Baylor and notches 2 points.

[Mavric]

Pinstripe Bowl - Northwestern 31, Pittsburgh 24

 

Not gonna lie, the B1G has done better than I expected so far. Very nice win for the other NU.

 

zoogs was the only one to pick the Cats and scores a big 8 points - not even in the cellar anymore!

[Mavric]

Russell Athletic Bowl - Miami 31, West Virginia 14

 

Canes looking pretty good in Richt's first season. That hire might work out.

 

zoogs against with the highest game score, this time 5 points.

[Mavric]

Foster Farms Bowl - Utah 26, Indiana 24

 

Indiana misses a short FG with a couple minutes left that could have won it. Another good showing by the B1G.

 

RedTexan, obert1, GSG5545 and Lil' Red pick up the max 10 points.

[Mavric]

Texas Bowl - Kansas State 33, Texas A&M 28

Lil' Red picks up the max 5 points.

[Mavric]

Birmingham Bowl - South Florida 46, South Carolina 39

 

USF blows an 18 point lead with just over a quarter to play but wins in OT. Down goes the SEC.
