9 years ago today...the bowl game in Arlington that shall not be spoken about .

The game where we had the offensive and defensive mvp's and still lost.


That game still makes me sick.

Set an all time bowl game passing yards record in that game...then the next year we set an all time bowl record for rushing yards in the RAB. Not sure of those records still stand.

Tanner Mordecai out there looking like a Heisman candidate today.

14 for 20 for 219 yards and 3 TDs and no INTs at half.

I think both records still stand.

LSU's defense this year would do that to any decent quarterback. It's crazy how bad that unit was.

It's still the playoffs. Opt outs didn't start until the playoffs were introduced.

The playoffs just shined a light on how silly it is (and has always been) to play random nonconference matchups at the end of the season. When that was all there was, coaches, players and fans accepted it as a sensible way to end a season. Introducing a playoff made everyone realize it isn't.

And Florida State would have murdered them because every healthy rotation player that opted out or left via the portal would have stayed and played.

This is funny. Iowa's offense is painful to watch, which is why I just don't watch their games.

It's crazy that a) Kirk Ferentz was willing to waste another year with his son actively undermining his squad and b) they still managed to win 10 games despite that.

For the second year in a row, Iowa squandered a championship-caliber defense with an utterly deficient offense. I'd imagine their fans are pretty frustrated.

Half of them are probably happy they had so many wins. I know most baylor fans would bd thrilled to have as many. Most Iowa fans have probably grown used to it by now. Or maybe they are just waiting for the kid to graduate, not that that will necessarily change anything.

Iowa will beat almost every team it is capable of scoring 17 points against. It will get beat by 28-plus -- and likely get shut out -- by any really good team.

This...so much this. While I am disappointed in how we played last year, it is miles away from the Rick bottom so may people believe it to be. I remember not winning three games in 4 years.

Illustrating the stupidity of the way the divisions are organized. I'm so glad the new Big 12 will not have them.

They're on the same list as two Steele-coached Baylor teams. Haha. That's a wild stat, though. Shows how good their defense is.

Would be nice for players to be paid for playing in a bowl. But who is gonna pay? And how much?

If a player with high draft value is sitting out to protect themselves for the draft it would take a big chunk of change to get them to play? Probably less for those sitting out because of the portal.

The PAC-12 was the best conference in the country this year. It had the best record in nonconference play and bowl season.

This not-so-old old man is with you. It's ridiculous that the PAC-12 won't exist after this year.
