Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (Utah State vs. Ohio)

Famous Idaho Potato Bowl

Ohio (9-4) vs. Utah State (7-5)

I will try to keep this shorter for those of you who are not able to complete the entire post.
Here is what you need to know.I would like to first point out that this is the “Famous Idaho Potato” Bowl as opposed to the Unknown Idaho Potato  Bowl.  Known previously as the Micron PC Bowl and then the Humanitarian Bowl, the Humantarian Bowl became well known in Georgia in recent years.  Georgia Tech has owned this bowl in the past decade.  In fact, Georgia Tech even put this game on the season schedule at the beginning of the year on time.  And by the way, if you chose to watch this game, do not adjust your screens.  The field will be blue and a joke of college football.   

-Utah State Aggies have been also known as the “Gaggies”.  A name that some of you could use in regards to your Sabowl picks.  However, Utah State has won its last five games, so they are coming in hot.
-Utah State’s strength is it run game.  That is when they have the ball and are running with it, trying to score… a touchdown.
-Utah State has decent defense but not great.

-Ohio’s mascot is the bobcats.  Helpful for GC&SU alumni.
-Ohio has not won a bowl game in its last five chances.
-They are hoping for a ten win season, which they have done only once.  Could this add to the pressure of the game?
-Watch for Ohio’s QB-Tyler Tettleton, who is a excellent passer and rusher.  Should be exciting to watch what he does against USU’s defense.

Line:  Utah State favored by 3.5
Picks:
Utah State (Christina, Jonathan, Ellen, D/S, Jimmy, Rebecca, Joey)
Ohio (Michael, Emily, Josh, April, Jim, Joe)

    You may want to adjust your screen while watching this game. As an experienced Humanitarian Bowl observer.
    Georgia Tech 52 – Tulsa 10 in 2003
    Fresno State 40 – Georgia Tech 28 in 2007
    This game is known to cause frequent headaches during the second half. The blue field can really begin to affect you after a while. In my opinion Utah State will have an overwhelming advantage with their blue uniforms which will act as camouflage throughout this game. Good luck to all SABOWLERS.

    Congrats to the Owls and Temple pickers. We now have some seperation among the group. We will see how things shake out throughout the night.

    Great job with the comments. I think the total ended up being 24. Keep up the good work. If you have not realized this, after today we have no more Sabowl games until Tuesday. So get your Sabowl fun out now.

    Looking forward to hearing from you. I hope that you enjoy the update. I will post the game for later tonight at haftime of the game coming up.

    Awesome game. Gave me Sabowl life. A loss in this game would have pretty much eliminated me from contention.

    Tyler Tettleton is an amazing tebowish like competitor. If we have another son, I think that we will name him after Tyler Tettleton…T.T. Sabo.

    Thoughts?

    Thoughts, you ask?? yes plenty:
    1. looks like there wont be another boy for this Sabo family unit… we are not naming a kid TT… slugger Jetes maybe but no potty talk going on in our childrens names.
    2. it would have been sooo awesome if Utah would have managed touchdown during that last play.
    3. Those referees were total ham and eggers with their play calls
    4. It however was a great finish to a Sabowl game, I think it was because they got rid of that unknown potato and finally found a good and famous one to head line the bowl
