GG Bowls, Episode 6 Results

 Death by Bowls. Episode 6.
CFP games. 


Cam Skattebo. Texas outlasts Arizona State in double OT, 39 - 31 Longhorns. Horns up, Forks down in an epic slugfest. All fourteen BRFLers picked Texas and had to change their shorts at least once during this game. 

Ohio State bitch-slaps Oregon 41 - 21 in the Rose Bowl. It was 34 - 0 at the half, in case you missed it. 

Notre Dame bests Georgia, 23 - 10. Well, okay. Georgia kind of limped into this one but, hey, a win's a win. 

KBron. 2 to go to 40, breaking through that '30s' barrier.
Big Dom. SWEEP! Add 5 to 46 and you have 51. Late season surge for BigD.
BreauxFreaux. Add 2 to get to ... 51. 
DPo. 1 to make 49. Had a chance. Squandered it. 
Ronde'. 1 to 'reach' 25. Another tragi-comic attempt at picking three games. Sigh.
$$uke. 2 to make 64. Sixty Four. 
Dawg. 1 to make 40. That's not that great.
Lola O. 2 to get to 41. If memory serves, this is much better than usual.
SockPuppet. 1 to step to 45. A player. Not a major player. 
Psycho. SWEEP! 5 to blast through to 47. Don't sleep on Psycho.
ChibaChews. SWEEP! 5 to go up to 54. I have no words. 
Q. 2 to get 32. I admire the way you haven't given up. You probably should have. 
Timmy! 2 + 38 = 40. Nice.
McLovin. SWEEP! Okay, what the fuck is going on with McLovin?! 5 to go to 43.

GG Bowls, Episode 5 Results

 Death by Bowls, Episode 5


Louisville sneaks by the U of Washington Huskies 35 - 34. Tyler Shough, L'ville 6th year senior QB, opts out and somebody named Harrison Bailey starts for the Cards at QB. U Wash scores late and goes for 2 and the win. Alas, no. $$uke with the win. 

South Carolina Gamecocks bow to Illinois and enormously fat Burt Bielema. 21 - 17, Illini over 'Cocks. Only McLovin picked Illinois and I suspect he was really, really drunk when he made that pick.

Penn State blasts Boise State, 31 - 14 in our first CFP game. Yes, the dream dies in Glendale for BreauxFreaux but Timmy! advances. This is the kind of BRFL on BRFL violence we live for. 

KBron. Add 1 to go to 38
Big Dom. Deuce. 46.
Breaux. 2 points. 49. To live is to suffer.
DPo. 2 + 46 = 48. CJK5H.
Ronde'. 1 to make 24. Just, God, like what the fuck?!
$$uke. 2 to add up to 62. I'm killing it. 
DTBH. 1 to equal 39.
Lola O. 2 to reach 39.
SockPuppet. Add one to go to 44.
Psycho. 2 to rach 42.
Chiba. Only 1 but he still makes 49.
Q. 2 to break on through to 30.
Timmy! 2 to log 38 total.
McLovin. You're fuckin' shitting me. SWEEP! 5 to pull up to 38. Not sure how you cheated.

Iowa State edges Miami in the Pop Tarts Bowl. 'Clones 42, 'Canes 41. Miami players punching each other on the sideline. Only DPo and BigDom picked this game right. 

Miami of Ohio kills the Colorado State Rams 43 - 17. A blow out. I had the Rams. 

Colorado Buffaloes get blown out by BYU, 26 -14. Deion Sanders is a fraud. I had the Buffs.

GG Bowls Results, Episode 2

 Death by Bowls 2.


Sam Houston drops Georgia Southern 31 -26 in one of those bowl games that Psycho rants about being 'stupid'. Everybody except DogTheBountyHunter picked Georgia Southern. I never heard of Sam Houston University or whatever it is. 

The Ohio Bobcats pull out a close one over Jacksonville State, 30 -27. This one featured a brawl after one of the 'Cats stomped on a J'ville State player. Fun!

BRFL Week 15 Results

 Week 15.

KBron. Memphis. Did not play (DNP). The AP bumps you up one. Bitch. +23.

Big Dom. SMU goes down to Dumbo, 31 - 34 on a walk off 56 yard FG. The pain is real. So real. The 'L' is compounded by the AP docking you minus 4. +42 is where you live, BD.

BreauxFreaux. Once again, Ashton Jeanty is THE MAN. Nothing less than The Heisman, as far as I'm concerned. Boise State Broncos 21, UNLV 7. 3 for the Conference Championship win (see the Living Document), +1 on the no-drop, +2 move-up from the Almighty AP, huge +6 weekend. +52 total heading into your BYE week in the playoffs. Only the Ponies can cock-block you from taking The Cheese. 

DPo. The God Squad DNP. +15.

Ronde'. VTech DNP. Unranked, it's all about zero. +13.

$$uke. Louisville DNP. So close, yet so very far. +19 on the season.

DTBH. Kansas DNP. Your brief run at relevance comes to an end. 0 on the season.

Lola O. LSU DNP. So nowhere. Minus 1 on the year.

Psycho. Tennessee doesn't play for the SEC championship. Yet the playoffs beckon. Just to be an asshole, the AP drops you 1. + 28 on the year. 

SockPuppet. Miami DNP. From contender to Mr. Nobody in just 15 weeks. AP rubs salt in your wounds. Minus 1 in The Poll. +25 on the season. 

Chiba. Utes DNP. Just a piss-poor season for you, My Lad. Minus 10. Are you even bowl eligible? Too lazy to look it up.

Q. FSU. 😂😂😂DNP. Minus 21.


Timmy! Penn State 37, Oregon 45. Will James Franklin ever win a meaningful game? The AP takes it easy on you, only minus 2. + 24 on the season and you're playoff bound. The law of averages says that PSU gets a win, at least in the first round. Then again ... James Franklin.

McLovin. Ohio State DNP for the conference championship. Again. Ryan Day coaching for his life in the playoffs. Weirdness: 1 for the no drop. And the AP says "+1" move up on The Poll. +7 on the year. Make a run in the playoffs or die, McLovin.

GG Week 15 Results

 GG, Conference Championships Edition


There were no sweeps. 

Arizona State ass-whips Iowa State. Sun Devils 45, 'Clones 19. Most people picked Arizona State but early on it looked like the Cyclones were going to make a game of it. But then ... Cam Skattebo.

Georgia dumps Texas in OT. Dawgs 22, Horns 19. Very few picked this one right. I wasn't one of the very few. This pisses me off. 

Clemson bests SMU. Tigers 34, Ponies 31 on a walk-off 56 yard field goal. SockPuppet is the only one of the fourteen BRFLers who called this one. Hating.

KBron. 1 to make 28.
BigDom. 1 to go to 31.
BreauxFreaux. 1 to reach 37.
DPo. Deuce. 36.
Ronde'. Double up. 21. Still not good.
$$uke. Just one. 51. Dumbass.
Dawg. Gutterball. 0 + 32 = 32.
Lola O. 1 to go to 29.
SockPuppet. 2 to get to 35. Nice.
Psycho. 1. 32. Get it together.
Chiba. 1 to reach 40. Threatening? Fuck you.
Q. 1. 23. Yeah. Twenty three.
Timmy! 1. 33.
McLovin. 1 to make 27. No big deal.
