Pointsettia Bowl Live Blog

Hello everyone, and welcome to our live blog for the Pointsettia Bowl. Besides annoyingly festive flowers, this match up promises to deliver a great game. These two teams are diametric opposites, with TCU built around its fierce defense, while Boise State is built around a wide-open offensive attack. On the other hand, both teams are remarkably similar: both teams had terrific seasons, both teams are bitter about being snubbed from the BCS, both teams have head coaches who have inexplicably not left for higher profile jobs, and both teams are affiliated with schools that there is no chance in hell I would have ever attended. Enjoy the game

Halftime Chatter
I apologize for the delay, but family rudely interfered once again with my football watching. Regardless, here's what's being said around the water cooler at the half"

- My Christmas tree works break. We watched a lot of gametape on our 8 foot blue spruce over the break, and learned that it had a vulnerability to the left side of its branches. We attacked there early with the childhood ornaments (Baby's First Christmas, etc) then jumped to the holiday balls to the right. We were initially stymied up the middle with our graduation ornaments, but after switching our blocking scheme we were able to penetrate those branches.

- Ian Johnson scored his WAC record 56th Touchdown tonight. Rumor has it that to follow up his Fiesta Bowl celebration, if he scores the winning TD tonight he will have raw sex with his cheerleader non-stop in front of the Boise State student section until she conceives him a son

- Rece Davis just pathetically asked Jesse Palmer, "Give us one reason to watch Notre Dame in the Hawaii Bowl tomorrow." Jesse responded that his season of "The Bachelor" is having a marathon on SOAP Net tomorrow through Christmas Day.
