And the first word is a grammatical booboo. Good try, good effort.

Should be a fun game - Cincy is legit this year.

Yeah, Cincy's only losses were to UCF and Temple.  Oddly, that was only good enough for 3rd in the AAC East.

They should have beaten Temple... let the game slip from their grasp.

UCF obviously there wasn't much else they could have done, they were simply outclassed.

[satyanash 14237]

It is kind of odd to see Northrop Grumman sponsoring a bowl. Not sure what they gain in terms of relevant exposure.

 

[J.R. Juniors Junior Jr. 1084]

So, is this such a jank bowl game that there's no first down line graphic?

Also appear to be scraping the bottom of the announcer barrel as well.

It's there, but it's very faded and vanishes as soon as the camera starts moving to follow the ballcarrier after the snap. Weird.

[Doze 1321]

Gotta post up this classic.

It's there.  It's Northrop Grumman's new stealth first down line offering.   Let's see if it catches on.

It's better now.

[satyanash 14237]

Got it on the 4th down! Just barely.

[satyanash 14237]

Cincy QB hurt on a low hit from Virginia Tech.

[Fire Jack Chevigny 938]

Cincinnati’s QB banged up. Looks like his knee.

[satyanash 14237]

Shit. Virginia Tech DE grabbed his ankle and twisted as he went down.

Bro do you even Military-Industrial Complex?

[satyanash 14237]

Both these QBs aren't afraid to be power runners. I like it.

Pretty shoddy pass coverage by the Hokies there. 

[satyanash 14237]

Fumble in the endzone, Cincy's got it! Unbelievable.

[WhatTheBuck 28696]

Holy crap. That was ugly. And lucky.

Cascader never got the credit he deserved for his art.

[Fire Jack Chevigny 938]

“Special” Teams.

[Bullneck 18959]

I'm thinking we might be paying too much for our stealth aircraft if they think sponsoring a bowl is a good idea.

I like that this relatively small stadium is pretty full, even with the lousy weather.

[Doze 1321]

Is the Cincinnati coach from the Mack Brown coaching tree?   

Could't help but notice the lack of dental hygiene.   #butterteeth.

Cincy's fumbles are working out for them so far.

Healthy teeth actually do tend to have a yellow tinge in humans. You need whitening agents to get your teeth perfectly white.

I  thought I saw these two teams play in a bowl recently.  Turns out they played in the same bowl in 2014 and the Orange bowl in 2008.  They also played each other in the 1947 Sun Bowl.

I did a Google map search - the two campuses are about five hours from each other.  You'd almost think they're in the same conference.

Man that Cincy QB injury looks like it might fuck my already remote bowl pickem chances

It's amazing how small states are that aren't Texas

They were in the Metro Conference together before VT made the Big East football conference.  The Metro did not have football, though.

Sun Bowl is super-old, it never attained the prestige of the other NY6 bowls but it's up there with them in terms of age/tradition.

Cincinnati's Harold Johnson scores in the third quarter as the Bearcats defeated Virginia Tech 18-6 in a sunless Sun Bowl before a shivering crowd of 10,000 on Jan. 2, 1947.

[satyanash 14237]

Hahaha. Icing strategy is successful, VT misses the FG.

Works better if the kicker has to keep standing around in the rain without a coat.

[J.R. Juniors Junior Jr. 1084]

Glad they didn't call targeting, the Cincy guy totally alligator armed it, making him look defenseless.

Crown of the helmet hit his facemask, didn't it? Should have been an ejection regardless.

It was more like he hit the receiver in the shoulder pads with his facemask, so no call.

[satyanash 14237]

Hah. I was wondering where those faded circles came from.

LOL at the barbershop quartet ref.

[Horn80 6054]

Does VT not have LBs?

[Bullneck 18959]

Nice KO return.  All in all a pretty entertaining game.  12 minutes left, Cincy 28-24.

man that was a nasty hit

Who’s the color guy?  He needs to dial back the roids.
