2017-18 Donkey Bowl Contest

[Mavric]

Cactus Bowl - Kansas State 35, UCLA 17

 

Most of the interesting stuff was off-the-field.  Rosen doesn't play.  Will Snyder retire (again)?

 

@McBrideMafia with the only perfect score.

[Mavric]

Independence Bowl - Florida State 42, Southern Mississippi 13

 

Loophole-exploiting FSU keeps their bowl streak alive and gets a win.

 

@ScottyIce with the 5 point pick.

[Mavric]

Pinstripe Bowl - Iowa 27, Boston College 20

 

Iowa gets the B1G off to a good start with a nice win on a slick track.

 

Lots of picks scored a bit 10 points.

[Mavric]

Foster Farms Bowl - Purdue 38, Arizona 35

 

No idea how Purdue stopped Arizona's offense but another great showing for the B1G.

 

@TAKODA @GSG @grandpasknee and @McBrideMafia notched 10 points.

[Mavric]

Texas Bowl - Texas 33, Missouri 16

 

Texas wins the Texas Bowl.  Good for them.

 

@husker98 @WSCHusker and @Huskers44 with a 5 point pickup.

[Mavric]

Military Bowl - Navy 49, Virginia 7

 

Holy cow.  Navy with the run-away.

 

If you picked Navy, congrats, you scored 0.  If you picked Virginia, you went backwards 2.

[Mavric]

Camping Wold Bowl - Oklahoma State 30, Virginia Tech 21

 

Mike Gundy - man with a mullet and an OC he found on the Internet.  It's his world.  The rest of us are just living in it.

 

@Comfortably Numbis the only one to pick up 5 points.

[Mavric]

Alamo Bowl - TCU 39, Stanford 37

 

Stanford apparently forgot to play the fourth quarter.

 

@RedNebraskan and @Mavric score 5.

[Mavric]

Holiday Bowl - Michigan State 42, Washington State 17

 

Michigan State remembered that the Holiday Bowl is supposed to be high-scoring.  WSU not so much.

 

@WSCHusker manages 4 points on the double-point game.

 

[Mavric]

@TAKODA takes over the lead with @ScottyIceright behind.

Ha, even a broken watch is right twice a day. At this point I'll be happy if I end up with a non-negative score. I suck at this. Guess that's what I get for exerting virtually no thought and closely following the Vegas line.

The risk of  lesser bowl games...one team goes on Holiday and leaves their focus at home.

[Mavric]

Belk Bowl - Wake Forest 55, Texas A&M 52

 

Defense optional.  Just like FauxPelini's pants.

 

A bunch of five point picks recorded in this one.

[Mavric]

Sun Bowl - North Carolina State 52, Arizona State 31

 

@RedNebraskan and @VectorVictor with a game-high 4 points.

[Mavric]

Music City Bowl - Northwestern 24, Kentucky 23

 

The 'Cats win in spite of Fitzgerald's questionable coaching calls.

 

Again, quite a few picks that notched the max 10 points.
