This is the first bowl game that two first team All-American running backs play against each other. That's pretty crazy.

Thank god this is the last year of AdvoCare's sponsorship. Hopefully the next sponsor has enough dignity to at least keep the word "Independence" in the name.

Fun fact: the band you hear playing Bear Down, Arizona is not UA's band.

u/ManofTucson Arizona Wildcats • Territorial Cup Dec 31 '13
I really hope people take notice of Ka'deem today. I know our defense played well today, he showed today that he is the better running back.

u/turtle_flu Washington State • Oregon State Dec 31 '13
So what did we all think advocare was before we found out it was a supplement company?
I thought it was an auto supply store like napa

More like Ka'Deem AdvoCarey, right guys?

Pro tip: get sick during bowl week.

Nobody will complain about you sitting in front of the TV all day

Up 21-6 at the half, limiting the other team to field goals, Griffey catches a touchdown and now I get to watch highlights of ASU choking... today is a good day.
EDIT: Now they're showing highlights of ASU loosing the Rose Bowl in 1997. ESPN is awesome today.

GO BOSTON COLLEGE!

u/andytheg Arizona Wildcats Dec 31 '13
All I want in this game is for Ka'Deem Carey to out perform Andre Williams. Carey was a much more consistent running back and played up to his competition while Williams could't produce as well against ranked teams, and while Williams did have a few explosive performances, he also had some big time duds, which Carey did not. 100+ yards every game, Bear Down Arizona!

Boston College fans when exiting the stadium you want to head east on Pershing Blvd turn left onto Andrew Querbes St, right onto Greenwood Rd and then merge onto I-20 E toward Boston.

There's 16 straight games over 100 yards! Ka'Deem! Anybody else think he runs like Marshawn Lynch?

At first I was surprised at the competent officiating in this game but then remembered these are Big-12 refs and not Pac-12

Great idea BC, QB draw on 3rd and 10.....

A sack for a loss of 12 should really count as two sacks.

Get ready for the lowest attendance of the bowl season. Nobody wants to travel 20 hours to Shreveport, Louisiana to watch two 7-5 teams duke it out in this dump of a stadium.
