Summerall-Baldinger??????
Senility meets idiocy. Who made that choice?

CBS is probably going to give the Sun Bowl to Craig Bolerjack or Ian Eagle, while Verne and champion Gary Danielson would do the Gator Bowl, with a much better matchup at hand.


Oh FOX has the Summerall/Baldy game, not CBS.

Whoops. Got it right down below for some reason. It's too early for me.

No Bradshaw/BCS??? Fuck that. I like my bowl games with a side of "rube".

Lou Holtz at the Poinsettia Bowl...they probably figured the flowers needed watering and they could cut down on costs by having Lou spit all over them when he talks.

Wow...Patrick gets a New Year's Day game. Hide the children.

What?!? No sideline reporter info?!? Where's EA gonna be? What about Bonnie? Stacy?

mmmmmmm....sideline reporters

If it's like last year...Bolerjack and Beurlein do the Sun Bowl while Lunquist and Danielson do the Gator.

And last year's Insight team was Spiro Dedes and Sterling Sharpe, if you need reference...or maybe they were the Texas Bowl team....

Summerall and Baldinger did the Cotton Bowl last year and I ended up watching the second half in silence. Summerall could barely complete a sentence while Baldinger mis-pronounced everyone's name during his "analysis".

Ball State? Is that bowl game a reward or punishment for Rutgers for preventing their conference from having a team with an undefeated season?

LSU will be playing coachless. At least in spirit.

Wow Brent Musberger's doing the USC Rose Bowl. This should be different. Oh wait...

LSU will be playing coachless. At least in spirit.

Seeing that Les Miles met with Michigan AD Bill Martin & the school president the day after signing an extension, it might not just be in spirit.

/not letting a dead story stay dead

I wonder who Thom Brennaman will be pulling for in the NC. When he's not mispronouncing the word "third."

Sorry....sideline info will be coming soon.

thank god for radio I hate Mcdonugh now if only ole John ward would come out of retirement for the bowl game I'd be in heaven

Me want EA for Rose Bowl Game... me want EA now!

Why does Musberger have to call another UT game? At least I dont have to hear him talk about the amazing Blackshirt defense he's got a stiffy for.

Summerall's still alive? What?

Nice of ESPN to send the Canadians up to cover the International Bowl.

hawaii, Ball State has one of the best QB's in the country (Nate Davis). Rutgers may roll them, but watch Davis, he's only a sophomore.

If you want to complain about Rutgers, bitch about them losing 5 games.

Oh my God...they're letting Jesse Palmer announce a full game? The International Bowl just became must-see TV. I have to know how he can talk about Florida during THAT game.

Personally, i think Gus Johnson should be the announcer for all these games.

The best thing about this is that the Lundquist-DanielSECon damage is minimized.

I wonder if Barry Alvarez will be in the endzone.

It's Bob Papa, Mayock, and Sterling Sharpe on the Insight Bowl.

"LSU will be playing coachless. At least in spirit"

LSU is better off going coachless. At least we wouldn't have to worry about a Les Miles coached team losing another game it should win.

The over/under on the amount of takes to make these Pat Summerall commercials a few years ago (20 total seconds of talk time): 32

Sounded like an old Max Headroom.

Oh hell no!
Musty-burger with a couple of shots before the Humpback Holiday Bowl?
Haven't the Longhorns suffered enough this year with to get drummed by an angry ASU team and haven't to hear Mustburger...not to mention Herbstreit's constant felacio to OSU and the Big Diez. Might as well start up the March Maddness brackets.

Welcome back Summerall ! Yay!

And gee, there's no way better way to tell a couple of teams, "Hey your bowl is truly insignificant" than by assigning Pam and Ray.

At least Pam & Ray are only doing one bowl (one less than Rece, Mark & Lou).
Still, that's one too many.

I've also gotta give props to ESPN sending two Canadians up to Toronto to call the International Bowl. It shows that somebody there's doing something right.

I care about Indiana and OK State!! I'm a die hard Hoosier Fan!!

Can someone explain how the Nessler/Griese team are below the McDonough/Spielman team in the ESPN hierarchy . . .

That Orange Bowl line-up is truly atrocious.

Ah, Dave Barnett and Rod Gilmore. So I guess ESPN is so desperate to fill slots that it will turn to two guys who haven't called games all year. Then again, maybe they called games on ESPN Radio which I can't get in my area, largely because my local affiliate AM710 is the USC Trojan flagship.

Also, remember this name: Southern Miss kicker Britt Barefoot. If previous patterns hold, Pam Ward will be baffled as to why Britt doesn't take his kicking shoe off and ask publicly for him to change his last name.[LOL]

Some sideline report news and rumors:

*Shannon Spake will be reporting from at least one of the ESPN bowl games, according to The Daly Planet blog.
*One of the responders in the comments section in the same article indicates that Krista Voda will be the sideline reporter at the Cotton Bowl.

Both Spake and Voda are usually NASCAR correspondents.
