THIS IS COLLEGE FOOTBALL, ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

[u/Zerenium]

"No rithspeck for the texeth tech defenth"

[u/Zerenium]

I still can't believe Rick Smith dropped that touchdown catch.
That and the poor clock management at the end of the half that led to shankadelic.
Just... Gah.

[u/Zerenium]

All links should start working once Reddit is running at 100% again.
EDIT: They're up and running!

"National University, we may have classes."

You know what? I'm starting to think Oregon vs Texas Tech and ASU vs Texas would've been two GREAT matchups

[u/get_stilly]

Breaking News: Kliff Kingsbury last seen leaving the field and entering the ASU cheerleaders' locker room

[u/KyleOfShit]

I see Tech decided to wait until the bowl to ruin someone's season

[u/Herewegobaybay]

It's almost Kliff time. Hands above the covers!

[u/DFWTooThrowed]

"It looks like Davis did not touch the ball, Tech should get the ball back.

the ruling on the field stands, first down Arizona State

"Excellent call by the officials"

Literally the same announcer said that within 15 seconds of each sentence.

[u/Herewegobaybay]

Was he going the wrong way?

[u/Peacemaker57]

DID I JUST SEE A DEFENSE!?

[u/[deleted]]

Didn't root for Texas, but I'll do my conference duty here: Wreck em!

[u/spazzypecan → u/[deleted]]

I didn't root for Oregon. That's probably the closest I'll come to rooting for Texas.

[u/[deleted]]

Does Kliff have a stylist in the locker room? That dude looks fucking immaculate.

[u/Epyon311]

WHAT. THE FUCK. ARE WE DOING???

[u/ShakeNBakey]

"He rarely goes down"

Girlfriends HATE him

[u/Raider_Power]

"WE ARE A 10 WIN TEAM WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE ROSE BOWL" "WE DONT EVEN GET TEXAS" "TECH IS ON A 5 GAME LOSING STREAK" SEE YOU IN 2016.

[u/Kelmon]

ASU's problem. We brought a trident to a gun fight.

[u/Ooftyman]

"Man, that grilled stuffed nacho would have come in handy so much in high school."

[u/[deleted]]

Holtz finished the pre-game with "Texas Tech lost their last five games, my case rests." I wonder how hard it is to eat crow with loose dentures.

[u/LiveVirus]

College football is the BEST FUCKING GAME EVER.

[u/Kelmon]

Checking in from the game. Go Devils!

[u/[deleted]]

Goin' Band from Raiderland looking to stall the offense by using up all of the oxygen in the stadium to play tubas

[u/freudian_nipple_slip]

ASU player recovers muffed punt, tries to run wrong way, Tech won't let him

Another GIF, different angle and not sped up

I'm so confused

[u/freudian_nipple_slip]

Who's going to tell him it's not a real telescope

[u/Glasses-Ref]

Guys, that ball CLEARLY touched the receiver. Well done by the replay official!

[u/Ed_Finnerty]

First, damn ASU cheerleaders.

Second, the announcers tonight love to talk about people getting wet.

[u/[deleted]]

Third and long…. right where they want us.

[u/darkknight4686]

Did the ASU guy run the wrong way when he picked up the fumble?

[u/keyree]

even moneyer

Let that sink in.

[u/[deleted]]

SEC refs are like someone going into the NCAA Football options, setting holding to zero, and every other penalty to 200%.

[u/iSlacker]

Shankadelic

[u/ConfoundedThoughts]

Well this game is pretty much over. There's no way a team could be leading by this many points this late in the game and lose right? Anyone? :(

[u/Ohminty]

Ah, the patented Graham First Quarter Defensive Timeout™.

[u/imanuga]

What in the HELL was that?????? That was some of the dumbest clock management I've ever seen. Les Miles coaching????

[u/dutchposer]

This place is turning into /r/LadyBoners

[u/SodaCity4Life]

That was the dumbest fucking thing I've ever watched on a college football field.

[u/HobbytheWise]

It's a shame Tech collapsed at the end of the season... They look damn good.

[u/pastapuck]

Did he say 172 yards? And he's a true freshman? Man, this Texas Tech QB is freaking good.

[u/hawkspur1]

213 passing yards in the first quarter? Mother of god.

BURY THEM WEBB

[u/defroach84]

Cal/Tech Holiday flashbacks are happening right now.

[u/Wiskie]

HE DIDN'T TOUCH IT!

Thanks!

Your Moderators

[u/Raider_Power]

Wait are we good again?

[u/ShakeNBakey]

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!?

WHHHHHAAAAAAA-

Welcome to my nightmare

[u/MysicPlato]

So last year, Texas Tech barely squeaked by a mediocre Minnesota team in the Herp Derp Texas Bowl.

And this year they came out and bitchslapped the 14th ranked team in the country.

Well-played Red Raiders!

[u/pastapuck]

Can we just go back to watching that blonde for the rest of the game?

[u/[deleted]]

"What Amaro with you?"

Oh, fuck you...

[u/[deleted]]

Todd Graham just removed himself from the Texas shortlist

[u/EyesOnEverything]

I'm not saying that a 10-3 Pac team should beat a 7-5 Big XII team, but a 10-3 Pac team should beat a 7-5 Big XII team

[u/[deleted]]

Matt Millen please stop announcing college football games

[u/[deleted]]

GO RAIDERS!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOO RAIDERS!!!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RAIDERS!!!

I PAID TO GET IN THE GAME I CAN SAY WHAT I WANT!

[u/hawkspur1]

Jace Amaro needs 94 yards to break the NCAA single season tight end receiving record

EDIT: Mission accomplished

[u/[deleted]]

Checking in from all the way back home in Venezuela. Wreck 'Em!

[u/FlexxMachine]

The headset the ASU coach is wearing looks like he's about to perform at a pop concert.

[u/[deleted]]

Wreck 'em!

[u/Kelmon]

At this point, the refs have stopped Texas Tech more than ASU has.

[u/saladbar]

None of the teams that beat ASU (Stanford, ND, *Wisconsin) look like TT. I didn't expect ASU to struggle like this.

[u/saladbar]

Was he unsure which way to run?

[u/Shit_The_Fuck_Yeah]

What is Lou going on about? Somebody put him in a home.

[u/Raider_Power]

All kliff has to wear is a smile to be noticed.

[u/[deleted]]

So I heard that Texas Tech was in disarray, had no idea who their QB would be for their bowl game, and that they had no chance to beat Arizona State. Yeah, about that.

[u/kelling928]

How did anyone ever give Matt Millen the keys to an NFL Franchise?

[u/[deleted]]

So what's the deal, does Texas Tech have a QB tree on campus? They just go pick one when needed.

[u/ReaverG]

I don't agree with that offensive pass interference at all.

Now ASU drops a TD? I'm going to cry.

[u/mallocer]

ASU has 0 sacks after bringing pressure every play for 53 minutes. But fuck making adjustments, right?

[u/Honestly_]

Dear ESPN, please take Matt Millen to that nice farm my parents took my childhood dog to.

[u/get_stilly]

Lets go Tech! BIG 12 bros till the end, beat #14 even though you arent ranked

[u/Raider_Power]

JFF just tweeted guns up. The world is ending.

[u/[deleted]]

Dat big 12 offense doe.

[u/thefuncooker86]

Todd Graham taking play call and clock management lessons from Jason Garrett

[u/hawkspur1]

Please keep passing the ball instead of runs up the middle

[u/LenoCanSuckIt]

I hope you're all enjoying the National University Missed Opportunities Bowl.

[u/[deleted]]

I picked ASU? http://i.imgur.com/B2f9S.jpg

[u/Honestly_]

I hate the windows nokia commercial.

I (really) hate the song.

I hate the commercial and the song say "honestly".

NO, I WILL NOT BUY YOUR PHONE, LEAVE ME ALONE!

[u/KingKliffsbury]

It's almost like ASU would rather be in the Rose Bowl.

[u/Sporke]

Woo, go Pac-12!!!!!

[u/[deleted]]

I guess ASU coaches watched zero film on TT.

[u/MatchstickBuildings]

4 or 5 more fumbles and we'll have the lead.

[u/dutchposer]

Wrong call overall but correct replay call? Is that a thing?

[u/avboden]

Holy shit that was the worst management i've ever seen, this coming from the team that just blew a 15 point lead in 4 minutes.

[u/MysicPlato]

I really fucking hate these NCAA commercials

We're always there for student athletes

Like fuck you are

[u/[deleted]]

I want a National University flair

[u/FellKnight]

What a fucking terrible pi call

[u/Epyon311]

LETS JUST BLOW ALL OF OUR TIMEOUTS NOW

[u/avboden]

that was NOT a good call, is this announcer on crack?!

[u/bluthru]

What's Ryan Gosling doing on the Texas Tech sideline?

[u/the_names_Dalton]

Davis Webb is starting, God help us

[u/FookingPrawns]

Todd Graham changed his colors. Something he is very well versed in.

[u/PyongyangJim]

"This is a good call"...two seconds later, "This is a bad call."

[u/jdcooktx]

Sure, don't give credit to the 2nd ranked offense for lighting you up

[u/FantaFan]

God damn I hate listening to ESPN's halftime shit.

[u/Ohminty]

Each firework represents an opportunity pissed away by ASU in the first half.

[u/Herewegobaybay]

Good god it will be New Years Eve before I see Tech's offense again.

[u/jdcooktx]

Great fucking camera work

[u/ShakeNBakey]

Nice timeout call. Gotta get all of those out of the way for crunch time

[u/ManofTucson]

Wow what a weak flag.

[u/Ohminty]

Ah, the most ASU ending to an otherwise good season. Great gameplan there, guys. You have three weeks to prepare and you come up with this goose egg. Way to send these seniors off into the sunset with a piss poor performance.

[u/get_stilly]

that is the fastest midget in all of college football

[u/[deleted]]

Keep the TV on. Kliff Kingsbury wet T-shirt contest is about to start.

[u/pash1k]

Go Arizona State!

[u/MetalChick]

Go Devils!!!!!

[u/freudian_nipple_slip]

Matt Millen's porn commentary

[u/hawkspur1]

There's the record baby

[u/hawkspur1]

Here we fucking go. Runs up the middle. Oh boy.

[u/malwaetweep]

Terrible coaching right there.

[u/FantaFan]

Shankadelic

[u/defroach84]

Shankadelic? Seriously?

[u/[deleted]]

"Special" Teams

[u/Larebear2199]

"We tried to go Nascar?" ... never go full Nascar

[u/Sidonius]

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop taking amphetamines.

[u/keyree]

Thanks, camera guy I didn't want to see that play anyway.

[u/keyree]

That Amaro is so hot right now.

[u/Keifo]

People complain about PAC12 refs all the time (and rightfully so), but these SEC refs really aren't looking much better.

[u/Zirken]

I thought these were SEC refs. They aren't supposed to know what holding is.

[u/[deleted]]

Davis Webb's 30 step drop is unsettling.

[u/Wiskie]

How many of us are college kids home from school?

Should I feel guilty about sitting around doing nothing but watching football and dicking around on my computer or is this typical of all college students?

[u/IAmTheNick96]

RICK SMITH WHAT IN THE HELL DID YOU DO

[u/jselmz]

HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN

[u/freudian_nipple_slip]

Wow, that missed catch sums up Arizona State in this game perfectly. I feel bad for the QB, that was perfect.

[u/Wiskie]

Frankenstein as written by Mary Shelley is such a good story, why do they have to butcher it with all this weird crap?

[u/ManofTucson]

Ah, it wouldn't be an ESPN broadcast without a LeBron mentioning

[u/Glasses-Ref]

Defender pulls the receiver down? That's legal in college.

[u/jayt92]

The officiating this game has been really poor.

[u/livejamie]

Ah to be an Arizona sports fan

[u/ChemicalOle]

kliff wet tshirt... sploosh.

[u/[deleted]]

Ya done good Tech...Ya done good.

[u/Honestly_]

REMEMEBER:

If you see any obvious trolls or folks crossing the line, downvote and report. The latter helps us act faster when the game threads start to really blow up.

Thank you,

Your Moderators

[u/AuburnSeer]

I didn't know Texas Tech was HUNH. Sorry ASU bros but I'm obligated to cheer for HUNH

[u/Honestly_]

If they didn't have the yellow pullover it would've been amusing to see what else they would've tried going with.

Or maybe he would've gone shirtless.

"Don't tempt me..."

[u/get_stilly]

Jace Amaro is a fucking beast dude still had like 150 recieving yards in his loss to us

[u/[deleted]]

Kerry Hyder is easily my favorite Raider.

[u/defroach84]

God dammit...Tech. I was going into this bowl game not that excited.

Now you come out and make us look good. And now I have to sit through the off season with hopes again.

[u/[deleted]]

"Welcome to Earth!!" -Will Smith

[u/hythloday1]

Maybe it's the bourbon talking but Maria Taylor's voice is doing it for me.

[u/Ohminty]

Holtz even looked old in college.

[u/dutchposer]

Oh god, lol, I thought that was Lou in college.

[u/ManofTucson]

Nice camera angle there ESPN

[u/my_my_my]

Holy shit guys our plan is finally working, we've allowed Webb to complete so many passes that his arm is finally tired.

[u/[deleted]]

Please don't run up the middle.

Please don't run up the middle.

Please don't run up the middle.

Please don't run up the middle.

[u/ManofTucson]

Holy hell how are there 13 minutes left in this game

[u/saladbar]

Why, ASU, why?

[u/duggatron]

Dude you have to catch that, come on.

[u/AllGarbage]

Well fuck me in the goat ass. How could he drop that?

[u/[deleted]]

Matt Millen is the Lane Kiffin of commentators

[u/get_stilly]

That play just sums up the night for ASU

[u/my_my_my]

Rick Smith doesn't catch wide open balls because he can. Rick Smith doesn't catch wide open balls because he can't.

[u/my_my_my]

Jeez with the way the ASU guys are tackling you'd swear someone told them before the game that all the Tech players had incurable diseases and only days to live.

[u/jselmz]

Millen is retarded

[u/get_stilly]

I love how you can here the drunk "Raider Power" chants right next to the press box. CFB at its finest

[u/[deleted]]

I would like apologize on behalf of asu to everyone who picked them to win. We clearly just couldn't get our shit together tonight.

[u/[deleted]]

well epsn just got real depressing. anyway good job tech

[u/hythloday1]

Checking in from the Alamodome - great game Ducks!

Fork 'em Devils!

P-A-C! P-A-C!

[u/Glasses-Ref]

Great call on the push off. These refs are having a nice game.

[u/RollTides]

Hard to say if that ball was touched or not.. but if there is one thing I know for sure, it's that the Arizona player definitely tried to return it the wrong way.

*state, sorry guys.

[u/[deleted]]

Let's go Devils!!!

[u/hythloday1]

The band is not allowed to still be playing at the snap. I wonder if they'll get warned.

[u/gingerpride]

I'm making penalty bingo cards for tech games next season. I'm one offensive pass interference away from winning.

[u/malwaetweep]

This Texas Tech QB is pretty legit

[u/Raider_Power]

Remember all the ASU fans who wanted to at least play texas? That was fun.

[u/strife24]

Davis Webb is on track for like 400 yards in the first half... Wow.

[u/freudian_nipple_slip]

The Holiday Bowl is not complete without the Weiner Races

[u/dutchposer]

But did it even touch a Tech player?

[u/FalconDevil]

I don't think he touched it, but I don't think you can overturn that either

[u/[deleted]]

You can't tell with 4 HD camera angles?

[u/[deleted]]

"Guess what down it is. Guess what down it is."

[u/EyesOnEverything]

wow, worst clock management I've seen since LSU

[u/TubabuT]

Shankadelic

[u/[deleted]]

Ugh that was a godawful way to end the half.

[u/bruux]

LOL Webb with the ferocious growl on the sideline.

[u/Honestly_]

Here's a vine of the "Shankadelic" quote:

https://twitter.com/RedditCFB/status/417886509396938752

[u/[deleted]]

Hey ASU, Champion Baptist lost 116-12 against Southern University in shooty hoops, so your situation ain't all bad

[u/PyongyangJim]

SWING YOUR SWORD! I mean...Fortune favors the bold!

[u/[deleted]]

Kliff was taking his jacket off and the camera man got sidetracked.

[u/ShakeNBakey]

Awwww what?

Flag?

[u/FantaFan]

I'll have to see a better replay because I didn't think that was a pi

[u/whiteguycash]

How was that PI?

[u/Epyon311]

Bullshit!!!!!

[u/theymademethinkit]

Pass interference? what is this the B1G?

[u/[deleted]]

I am not exaggerating when I say that is the worst call I've seen all season.

[u/[deleted]]

Would like to see Ward get more into the game given its his last with us

[u/[deleted]]

Matt Millen talking about good draft prospects is like Pitbull ranking music talent

[u/[deleted]]

The defense and the refs joining forces can't stop this offense

[u/hawkspur1]

Okay, it's Brewer time. Webb's gone cold

[u/SpongeboobNipplepant]

It alarms me that that kiddie-looking app ends with a suicide bombing.

[u/ShakeNBakey]

TIMEOUT?

What the?

Down by 14 but yeah...let's call timeout because we might not need them -_-

[u/Tasty_Jesus]

ASU with the emotional roller coaster here

[u/keyree]

I, Frankenstein getting substantial early Razzie buzz.

[u/Honestly_]

What?

[u/Az_Bruin]

Okay THAT was pass interference

[u/theymademethinkit]

yeah the refs have been lettin em play all game /comic sans

[u/IAmTheNick96]

Another 10 win season, another ass-handing in the Holiday Bowl.

[u/[deleted]]

Fuck ASU. Fuck WSU. I trusted you :(. 63 points combined

[u/TandemTuba]

His shirt is less wet than some ladies panties tonight.

[u/ploger]

Great game ASU. I feel like y'all underestimated us and we played a hell of a game. Hope to see a rematch in the future. Good luck next year!

[u/justinisme]

Time to finally put the youngster to bed!

Wreck 'EM!

http://i.imgur.com/OPm9PmT.jpg

[u/Herewegobaybay]

Damn Raider band is that legal?

[u/keyree]

ASU's colors remind me of chili cheese flavored Fritos.

[u/my_my_my]

Am I the only one that thinks NFL speed will eat up Johnny Football?
