Champs Sports Massacre....Orange Crushed!
Mr. Laufer (Keg-master) - I think you had the right idea in going to Florida for the break. Too bad you chose this particular game to go see. Not very close. GT big over Syracuse after Q1. It got worse for the Orange from there. Should be a spring board for the Yellow Jackets in 2K5. They bring back a lot of talent for next season; including a sophomore QB who'll have to win back his job in the off season.
Meanwhile, Syracuse suffered their worst bowl loss in 50 years. Lots of questions surround this program going forward. How do you figure this team? Thet lose to Temple, beat BC, and then get blown out by GT in Orlando. Inconsistent comes to mind. The Orange just hired a new AD last week and it might be the last year for their head coach.
Finally - it looks like the standings are starting to take shape in Bowl Mania. Mr. Wales appears tobe practicing the countdown from 28 to 1 in his effort to replace Dick Clark in Times Square this year when the ball drops. Others have yet to taste the sweet flavor of victory - most notably the Husker Nation. I knew I should have had more points on the Yellow Jackets. But, it's still early and lots can happen over the next week or so.
BTW - the XBOX is telling me to take USC over Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. I'm getting the hang of the game in 'Varsity Mode' and three different dynasty leagues. Just a free piece of advice. Take it for what it's worth.
