TCU Vs Boise State

I don't see what the big deal is.

The internet doesn't have closed captioning.

 

I don't really think it's a big deal. I was just making sure I understood the situation.

I popped into this thread for the first time about 10 minutes ago, watched the video and only noticed the fat cheerleaders on the field. Not really funny.

Then, I clicked on that link on the last page that mentioned the deal about the blind girl.

I went back and rewatched the video and laughed uncontrollably.

I feel like sort of an ass but I'm laughing about the whole situation, not the blind girl. If I understand correctly, people did not know she was blind when it came on during the game and just thought she was bored only to find out later she was blind. There is just something oddly funny about all of that. I do feel bad for the girl though.

 

Even discounting the blind cowbell girl, the disparity in talent between the two schools is ginormous. I've never seen such a overwhelming victory by one school in a major bowl game.

 

And by the way, Fox, er, sucks...

 

is he straight outta Compton?

 

Nope, he's straight outta Cumpton.

 

Let's all go cheer up those cheerleaders... they'll be down going back to Fort Worth.

 

Is that the keeley of cf.net fame?

 

That or Boise St. was greater than people give them credit for.

 

I don't know. I hate the BCS, would like at least a +1 system, and was really pulling for a good game....but that was just ugly. It wasn't great defense. I was pulling for TCU, but damn, is their quarterback that bad or was this just his worst game ever? He threw 3 picks (almost 4) and only 1 great deep ball. He was missing open receivers and couldn't read and recognize all night. He abandoned the pocket when pressure wasn't there and dinked and dunked all night. That last pick could be seen coming as soon as he floated that ball.

 

OMG, is that on purpose, or just a typo?

No, he's a really good QB. That was his worst game of the season by a long shot. However, give Boise St credit for stuffing the run, causing our coach to abandon it like an idiot, which allowed them to defend the pass on every play. I also think that huge hit in the first half kind of rattled him a little bit.

I have not seen our offense play like that all year...it looked more like our offenses from prior seasons. Not sure if we didn't get pumped up for the game or if Boise St was that much better, but either way they deserved the win

 

Dude, I'm going to hell.

 

I actually don't see why the whole blindness thing means the "more cowbell" jokes are banned - I mean if it were the opposite, say a fat, non-blind Jack Black-esque figure emphatically cowbelling it up, it would still be pretty funny and be photoshopped to high hell.

There's basically no way to play the cowbell on national TV and avoid cowbell jokes. Can't. Be. Done.

 

It's more about everyone laughing at the completely uninspired expression on the girl's face and her muted disposition... only to realize the girl couldn't even see what was going on.

Cowbell jokes aren't why we're going to hell, those are fair game.

Although I suspect that it wouldn't have blown up as big as it has if it weren't for the expression/disposition of the girl and the fact we now realize she's blind.

 

There's only one way to settle this Donny - I challenge you to post a video of yourself looking cool playing the cowbell on youtube.

Just make sure to include more cowbell. Add enough till it's almost too much. Then add more.

 

Dear Fox,

This is why real college football networks don't televise band performances at halftime and instead put together something a football fan wants to watch.

Remember this is the same network that repeatedly uses Tim McCarver and "Scooter the talking baseball" during the World Series

 

Two schmucks. One network.

 

I concede.
