Penn State: Izabella, Trey, Jack, Julian, and Caleb
Houston: Lydia, Stephen
This game will bring an end to an awful season for Penn State. A once proud football program is in the midst of turmoil that eventually brought the end of the career of head coach Joe Paterno. However, they still find theirselves playing on Jan. 2. They face a strong Houston team today who is 12-1 and seeking national attention. However, they will have a new coach in this bowl due to their head coach bolting for Texas a&M.
There are a lot of factors in this game that could really change the outcome and approach. It should be a game worth watching or a game worth turning off and watching another.
-will Penn State rally around their school?
-will Penn State starting QB play after a concussion following a fight with a teammate?
-will back up QB for Penn State not get arrested for stealing a pack of crackers from the concession stand? (Note: He cited for stealing a $2 Gatorade from the campus dining hall the same weekend that their starter got jacked up.)
-how will Houston respond to have their coach leave them?
Game notes and what to watch for: Penn State has been known for its strong defense. They will be facing a very strong Houston offense. They are ranked #1 in the nation in total yards, passing yards, and points scored.

Georgia vs. Michigan State
Here is a game of two fairly matched teams. When it comes to this, the SEC team tends to win. This is a big game here in the south. After Georgia started out slow, they were calling for head coach Mark Richt’s job. Following their defeat of LSU in the SEC Championship, they were again pleased and content with him in control.
Georgia is trying to avoid losing two games straight.
Michigan State will be led by coach Mark Dantonio. They will be seeking their first post season victory under his tenure.
This is a game matchup between two respectable coaches. The stats and records seem almost identical. This should be a good game but you will never know.

South Carolina vs. Nebraska
Favorite: SC (1.5)
A game of two strong defenses. South Carolina held teams to less than 20 points, impressive feat in the SEC. Nebraska is known for have players that will knock the slobber out of you. You may remember recent Nebraska player, Ndamukong Suh.
-South Carolina has not won a bowl game since 2006.
-South Carolina has a chance for its best season ever with a victory and win 11.
-Nebraska is entering after losing 2 out of four games.

Florida vs. Ohio State
Favorite: Florida (2.5)
Here is a matchup of the championship game from Sabowl I. This has been an eventful year for Ohio State as well. However, I do not believe that anyone was surprised with the removal of OSU head coach, Vestie. Josh was extremely upset about him leaving but was excited about the chance of him coming to Illinois until the NCAA told him that he would not be able to coach anywhere.
The story of this game is with Urban Meyer. He is the former coach of Florida. He is now the head coach of Ohio State in a bold move. We will see how that works out for him.

Where is everyone?
Deer hunting
ohhhh. well as you can see. The SABOWL does not appreciate you taking your attention away from it.
Did you shoot anything?
Not today shot 3 so far this season
The SABOWL will not reside in Georgia in 2012
I made several posts earlier in the day and even predicted RJ1’s demise, but I don’t know where they are now.
It sure is good to reside on top!!
Never mind. I found the previous posts. Its good to be an idiot!!
Congratulations Danny, and I do say that with an extreme amount of jealousy. Just remember the SABOWL can be cruel and what it gives you it will quickly take it away from you.
Your comments are on the New Years Day Post. Just scroll down a little below this post.
I am already bracing for the disappointment that is on its way.
Congrats. Job well done. I will definitely hate to see the Sabowl go.
Is anyone having any problems with the website tonight?
Only operator error I believe. Wow everyone enjoying my Luck! By Luck I mean Andrew of course. Forget that Oklahoma TD that was just LUCK!!!!
I have a problem with the standings but I havent had any technical problems if that is what you are asking.
What is the kid trophy going to be? Because It looks like it will be mine.
What do we do about a tie in the SABOWL for Kids?
We will break the trophy in 2 pieces and give one to each of you. Sound Good?
On a serious note I think you will be picking the winner of the national championship game. Josh am I right?
What if they both pick Alabama? Back to breaking the trophy?
I am currently working on formal ceremonies for the arrival of the Sabowl in Maryland. If we should be the new keepers then we will try to maintain the GA culture to which the Sabowl is familiar.
Should Joe become the keeper – all bets are off. I will then do my best to bring in the local department of social services when I gather enough evidence to warrant intervention. I just hope it will not be too late and rehabilitation will be an option.
Not sure that I have taken adequate time to express my love for the point spread here in the Locker Room. Stanford played like losers especially with that last soft drive when they decided to not play the best QB in college ball and instead let the freshman kicker take a shot. But the point spread saved me from that bad decision making process. Thank you point spread!!!!
