2019-20 Donkey Bowl Contest

[JJ Husker]

@Mavric I think in future years the default score for unpicked games should be -2 x the weight. Most of us would be further ahead if we had taken a 0 for that Frisco Bowl.

has anyone ever finished with a negative score before?  

 

16 is the current record-low

[Mavric]

Bahamas Bowl - Buffalo 31, Charlotte 9

 

Buffalo wins in a route despite throwing for 77 yards and completing less than 50% of their passes.  

 

@NUance off to the best start with 3 points.

[Mavric]

Frisco Bowl - Kent State 51, Utah State 41

 

Kent State with 25 fourth-quarter points for the win.

 

Except that all of us lost.  -1 was the "best" anyone did....

[Mavric]

New Mexico Bowl - San Diego State 48, Central Michigan 11

 

Apparently Central Michigan was just along for the vacation.

 

Another less-than-stellar showing.  At least a few of us didn't go backwards.

 

To this point, @NUance and I are leading .... with 0 points.

[Mavric]

Cure Bowl - Liberty 23, Georgia Southern 16

 

Congrats to Liberty for winning a bowl game in their first year in FBS.

 

@The Murphinator grabs the max 5 points to vault into the lead.

[Mavric]

Boca Raton Bowl - Florida Atlantic 52, SMU 28

 

SMU scored 14 points in the fourth quarter to make it look like they actually showed up.

 

@NUance was the only one to pick FAU and thus wins by scoring 0.

[Mavric]

Camellia Bowl - Arkansas State 34, Florida International 26

 

Should it really be a bowl if it's sponsored by something no one has ever heard of?

 

@The Murphinator @HS_Coach_C @VectorVictor and @HuskermanMike all score 5 points.

[Mavric]

Las Vegas Bowl - Washington 38, Boise State 7

 

The Huskies send Chris Peterson down the Urban Meyer career path with a big W (no pun intended).

 

Another game where the high score was 0.  At least only a couple went backwards.

[Mavric]

New Orleans Bowl - Appalachian State 31, UAB 17

 

The App State train keeps on rolling.

 

@The Murphinator @NUance @HuskermanMike and @Mavric pick up the max 5 points.

[Mavric]

@The Murphinator has three max games to run out to the early lead with 10 points.

 

@NebraskaHarry and @Mavric close behind with 8.

 

Results and Standings

[Mavric]

Gasparilla Bowl - UCF 48, Marshall 25

 

UCF runs for over 300 yards with five players getting at least 40.  That's pretty good.

 

Also, should be the Sasparilla bowl, right?  Right?

 

@The Murphinator & @Minnesota_husker pick up the max 5 points.

[Mavric]

Hawai'i Bowl - Hawai'i 38, BYU 34

 

Hawai'i gets jipped out of a bowl trip by playing in their home stadium.  But they're in Hawai'i so...

 

@The Murphinator dominating with his 4th max point game in the last seven.  @NUance @JJ Husker and @VectorVictor also notch 5.

[Mavric]

Independence Bowl - Louisiana Tech 14, Miami 0

 

Good effort, Miami.  

 

@The Murphinator now six for the last 8 with perfect scores.  @NebraskaHarry was the only other entry to pick LT.

[Mavric]

Quick Lane Bowl - Pittsburgh 34, Eastern Michigan 30

 

Not sure I've ever seen a QB get kicked out before.  Let alone for throwing two punches, including one that hit an official.  When they were on a drive trying win a game.  Wow.

 

It's @The Murphinator's contest.  Were all just vying for second.  Seven of the last nine.  @NebraskaHarry @NUance and @commando at least kept pace.
