2011-12 Bowls: Belk Bowl open thread (Louisville v. North Carolina St.)
Football is almost gone. That makes me sad. What makes me happy? That there's football on tonight! Whoopee!
Info and stuff about tonight's bowl game after the jump.
(NOTE: This could be the shortest intro ever. I will beat this record soon.)
Check out these references from around SB Nation for the game:
- the absolutely unfairly short preview and the absolutely fairly comprehensive watchlist
- the EDSBS 35 for 35 show (with SB Nation's own Bomani Jones)
- Bill C's stat-heavy preview and prediction
- Backing the Pack, the SBN community for fans of North Carolina St.
- Card Chronicle, the SBN community for Louisville fans
Should be a solid game. And yes, NC St. OLB Terrell Manning alone is worth your time, though Louisville C Mario Benavides could be in play as well. It's one of those games that could easily yield no Rams or 3 or 4. With as many holes as we have, you could probably say that about a dozen bowl games.

Hey thanks Dougie
let me know. After reading his story about his Dad and all, a guy gets to thinkin. Not that the worst has happened but, how does a guy know when something has happened anyways?
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf
You know what sucks
This time of year, it used to be that one could expect to see at least 3-4 games a day. The bowl games didn’t start until Christmas and were done by New Years day. That made it something to look forward to. It’s better now to just watch the regular season. On any given Saturday during the season you can watch 5-10 games that are as good a match ups as these are.
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf
yup
BCS is a joke.

Also wierd that ALL NFL games are being played on Sunday, Jan 1
No Thursday or Saturday.
Like you said, Jan 1 used to be the domain of NCAA Football.
Gabriel to Snow - TOUCHDOWN!
I used to plan my entire holiday vacation schedule around it
Drinking pop or beer with my favorite uncle Emery and tellin lies and arguing about what school did what whenever and conferences and crap like that. We’d eat fried oysters and cheese and I’d fall asleep in the recliner in front of the TV.
I gotta say I hope that’s what he’s doing in heaven right now. And me too if I make it.
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf
There was NOTHING wrong with that!
Out to Jan 9 is completely absurd. What the BELK are they thinking!?!?!?!?!
Gabriel to Snow - TOUCHDOWN!
Yeah I don't know who the Belk came up with that idea.

And for my final question........It's a 2 parter
What the hell is Belk? And does one consume it using a bowl?
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf
Belk is technically a store where one may purchase garments
it is also a quantifiable measurement.
“How much Belk do you have?”
“More than you…bitch.”

Department store like Macy's
Southern ladies eat it up.
This needs to be their last bowl. It used to be the Meineke Car Care Bowl but that moved to Texas. It fits Charlotte a lot better with the NASCAR race track.
It’s difficult to consume Belk unless you have a cotton/polyester deficiency in your diet.
Gabriel to Snow - TOUCHDOWN!
I can just see Billy DeVaney at home right now
licking his lips over all those defenders on the Louisville squad. “I like that form” while watching all those missed tackles and blown assignments.

My preview of the Military Bowl tomorrow at 11am is very enjoyable. I self-rec it.

i dunno
but that late hit’s a weird call. I dunno how you call that if he never knocks the guy down

And now he's on every radar in the world
as if having 11 interceptions coming into this game wasn’t enough
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf
nah, you underestimate people
he was already on the radar. Shit, if I had him greenlined on my watchlist, you better believe the guys who get paid to scout had a good feel for his skills.

Suddenly every play in this game is epic
I thought foshu he was outta bounds on that TD
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf
David Amerson is legit
my goodness…
Turf Show Times editor, Mocking the Draft writer, and I gots that Twitter too, yo.
"my keyboard won't corporate, neighter will my smell check." - Knoxfan
I'll second that.
I was really impressed with him against Clemson this year (I don’t think Watkins played that game). Although, I have been keeping an eye on him throughout the year, it seemed like every week he was racking up INT’s. He has great size and athleticism. He presses very well at the line of scrimmage. He also wins most battles when a QB throws it up for grabs. Definitely someone to keep an eye on for next year.
Pretty TD
Bridgewater barely kept his foot in. Very Belky.

That was a Belking great TD.

Nothing against NC St but after that late hit penalty
I’m kind of rootin for Lewisville now.
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf
Well, they just got a couple of calls
the teams are probably about even – but that one definitely Belked
Gabriel to Snow - TOUCHDOWN!
Louisville coaches could be representin a little better
Poor clock management and not challenging that call on Bridgewater being outta bounds on that incompletion,

AMERSON INTERCEPTION!
Game Over.
