I'll be watching tonight's game at the finest sports bar in Newport Beach, CA (Rudy's) Paradise.....Where will you be watching the BIG GAME?

I will be posting plenty of winning information inside my CFB BOWL INSIDER REPORT throughout the day

Here's some information gathered from today's CHEAT SHEET:

  • Florida:  The Gators enter this game off a huge win over former #1 Alabama in the SEC championship with QB Tim Tebow turning in a Heisman-worthy performance. Tebow ended up third in Heisman Trophy balloting behind Oklahoma's Sam Bradford after becoming the first sophomore ever to win the award a year ago, and Oklahoma CB Dominique Franks said he would be the fourth-best QB if he played in the Big 12.
  • Oklahoma:  The Sooners own the nation's top offense, averaging nearly 60 points during a seven-game winning streak to end the regular season. Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford directed the record-breaking offense, which has scored 60 points or more in the last four games, becoming the first school to accomplish that feat since Tulsa did it five straight times back in 1919.

Gonna just be watching the game at home on my Samsung HD TV Yes

For bigger games like this one, the bar is just too noisy and you don't get to hear everything. Although since this is being broadcast on FOX, I may not wanna hear the announcers Tongue Tied

This town won't appreciate Tony Romo until he's gone and the Cowboys are back playing with the Quincy Carters and Chad Hutchinsons of this world. Remember those days?

You don't appreciate a quality quarterback until you don't have one. Few teams have the good fortune of making the transition from a Peyton Manning to Andrew Luck as the Colts are prepared to do. When Romo is done, it may be 5-10-15 years before the Cowboys find another quarterback of his ability.

No. 1 vs No. 2 Stat of the Day:

  • The Gators (No. 1) and the Sooners (No. 2) held the top two spots in the AP poll on Dec. 7. The No. 1 and No. 2 teams have met 41 times (23-16-2 in favor of No. 1). Of the 16 times when No. 2 has won, 10 of those victories have come at neutral sites.

I agree 100%, especially with it being the Gators. 

Now I don't want to get off on a rant here, but it's bad enough seeing that stupid ass Gator chomp on TV all the time, without having to go to a bar down here during one of these big games, where every frat boy douchebag and wannabe/couldabeen armchair athlete is doing that chomping thing while singing "It's great to be a Florida Gator" even though half of em have never been to college and the other half are UCF alums.  And then they bring their women all duded up in football gear (which I find quite sexy, but not as sexy as a woman wearing nothin but a hockey sweater), but those broads don't even watch the game.  Instead they talk to each other about makeup, and tampons, and bad mouthing their girlfriends that aren't there (trust me on this, I've seen the Oxygen network).  Not to mention when some poor sap comes strolling in in his Sooner gear, and the shit he'll get all night from said douchebags.  Inevitably, a fight will break out between two drunks (likely late in the 3rd quarter, right after a Gator extra point, but just prior to the eleventh airing of that insidous Guitar Hero commercial), and then that fight will be broken up only to have both fighter's drunken redneck women start finger-pointing and calling each other "whores" and "sluts" even though both gals have probably handled more penises than a urologist in the Castro district of San Fran.  Then the two vodka and cranberry drinking tramps will start pulling each other's hair while doing that tornado fighting technique that girls are known for - ya know, windmilling both arms while kicking.  Of course, now the frat boys start yelling "CAT FIGHT!" and egging them both on while high-fiving each other and filming it all on their Blackberrys so it'll end up on Youtube or Comgetyousome or wherever these attention-seeking dickwads post their "look at me!" videos.  When the game finally ends and bar tabs are settled, it's midnight here on the East Coast and now all these drunken fools are on the road headed to Taco Bell, Denny's, etc., and several will get DUI's and a couple of them might not even see daylight again, and I say to myself, why go through all that hassle when you can sit on your own couch, drink your own beer, watch your own TV and have your old lady fellate you at halftime?.  Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong Wink

My local bar in B.R. is a Steeler hang out, but on Thursdays they have $2.50 you call the drink, and I mean anything you want.   All the kids are doing this bomb or that bomb, but I prefer Crown on the rocks, either way hard to beat this deal while making coin on the hated Gators.  Cheers Beer
