QuickLane vs. Maryland Thread

[dtwalrus]

I know it's not the week before, but whatever.

ESPN's Rittenberg out with predictions today:

Quick Lane Bowl: Maryland vs. Boston College
(2:30 p.m., ESPN, Ford Field, Detroit)
Maryland and BC are Nos. 75 and 76 in FPI, just above 3-9 Arizona, and both struggled mightily against the elite of their respective conferences. It comes down to which squad makes the most strides during bowl preparation. Boston College gets it done in Motown. Boston College 24, Maryland 21.

Vegas has us as -2.5

You have something better to do the afternoon of the day after Christmas?

The press conference is going on right now. I'm not watching it but I saw a photo of Buttcut and Daz sitting next to the podium. Did BC really need to send Buttcut?

Does anyone have a pic of those two clowns together? Would be perfect for a loser of a Signature Bet.

I don't have one but BC Football's twitter posted a photo of the beautiful Detroit skyline this morning and I think it succinctly represents this bowl game and its participants.

24-21 huh. How many times has BC scored a minimum of 24 points against P5 opponents in the pat two years?

The answer is zero. We have not scored 24 points against a P5 opponent over the last 2 years.

By bowl game standards, it's an affordable trip, but the timing is awful for anyone who needs to fly there. That and there isn't anything else to do.

I would go if it weren't the day after Christmas.

I wouldn't go if it were a Tuesday in January.

I wouldn't go if they were playing in my living room and you paid me. Maryland is a terrible football team but they have some offensive players and Durkin is a decent coach which puts him miles ahead of the Daziani. Take Maryland and give the points.

You are probably just waiting for a similar promo, right?

JUST UP FROM DETROIT'S 8 MILE IS THE BADDEST BOWL OF ALL. TRUTV PRESENTS THE HARDCORE PAWN BOWL, SPONSORED BY AMERICAN JEWELRY AND LOAN.

THEY HATE US BECAUSE WE'RE FREE.

The Bowl Games are fun to go to.

Detroit the day after Christmas is just absurd though

[biggestskyeagle]

Just got my tickets to the game today. Pretty excited to take the family
to Detroit. Montana gets pretty dreary this time if year. Nice to see us back in a bowl game.
Hope to see some of you in Detroit.

Curious what you think Addazio SHOULD do vs. what he WILL do in this game, in regards to who should play?

Will he play the players of the future, or will he continue to play guys like Towles for which there is no future?

I don't know, does playing in a bowl game compromise eligibility? Could Brown play without losing eligibility?

I would sub Wade for Towles. I would bench Hilliman. And I would sub any other offensive lineman for Lowry. I wouldn't change anything on the defensive side of the ball.

Daz will play the same guys he's been playing all year. He feels emboldened now that they're bowl-eligible, and his stubborn ass isn't changing a damn thing now.

Playing Brown would burn his redshirt.

The game doesn't matter, you reward the guys that got you there and maybe give extra time to young guys if you get a lead. Hilliman should sit for Jones, but based on merit, not looking forward. I'd actually start Willis.

What matters is the reps over the three weeks of practice. You give Towles enough to stay sharp, but the bulk should go to Wade and Brown and the battle for the QB spot should start now.

We have lost 3 in a row. We should play to win.

[hinghameagle]

there is not a shot in the world he deviates form anything he has done all year. It will be Towles wire to wire. Lots of Hilliman. The most excitement we may get is he lets Smith throw out of the wildcat. It will be incomplete or intercepted, but that will count for a huge trick play under this regime.

i hope there is a fake field goal td pass from troy flutie
