Bowl Preview 8: Meineke Car Care Bowl

Posted by Z on December 26th, 2009 under Football

From Trips Rights’ latest bowl game preview:

The 2009 Meineke Car Care Bowl, for one year anyway, should be renamed Former Dallas Cowboy Defensive Coordinator sponsored by Baby Dolls Bowl. The only thing that would give this game less imagination and innovation would be if Dave Campo and Chan Gailey were doing play calling. Both of these coaching asshats should be forced to wear scarlet letter styled fedoras as penance for their part in the rape and pillage of pre-1990’s Dallas Cowboy fan. But I digress.

The game itself actually rates to be a battle of strengths as Pitt will bring in a pretty explosive offense trying to move the ball against a filthy UNC stop unit. Psychology rears its ugly head for Pitt, because in the last two ballgames they’ve played Sacrificial Mayan to Inca Warrior heart ripper losing a soul stealing rivalry game to West Virginia, and then blowing a BCS birth by Houston Oilering a huge lead vs. Cincy. It will take a galactically impressive coaching job to get the Panther kids up for this one. You’d need a motivational witch on par with Knute Rockne or General George Patton. Instead, the Fighting Tony Dorsetts will have to settle for Dave Wannstache.

Yay.

To see the rest of Trips’ preview, head over to Fading Las Vegas. Trips is currently riding a 6-1 bowl record.

    Today reminded me why I love this tournament so much. A good friend of mine mentioned to me that college basketball is the great equalizer of all athletic endeavors. At least of the sports we care about. He’s right.

    For instance, you can have a 40 inch vertical, be Iverson quick,

    Patrick,

    Unless you’re completely retarded, you know precisely what I meant. The closest any Big 12 team has gotten to winning the infamous Fuller Cup is the 2007 Texas squad. I can’t remember a team being that horribly undisciplined as a whole aside from the insane OU teams of the 80’s. That’s not

    I suppose anyone could be your “favorite Longhorn basketball player” but Ford did more than just about anyone…although Durant is clearly better. Ford’s supporting cast was better than Durant’s in his sophomore year. Durant’s had more talent (Augustin, James, Abrams) but Ford’s was more developed (Boddicker, Ivey, Mouton, Thomas) and had worked with him for

    This notion of Hamilton as being a disaster area on defense is all a bit much. He rebounds extremely well which, if it wasn’t obvious, is extremely important in this game since it secures possession of the basketball. Winning in basketball is achieved through the scoring of baskets and it’s necessary to possess the basketball

    I posted earlier about how Collins’ effort just crippled Kansas today, but what amazed me the most was his complete inability to stay in front of his man on defense. UNI got a LOT of good looks out of penetration/pass after one of UNI’s modestly gifted athletes blew right by Sherron. The best

    At least it’s shaping up that way if Sunday delivers.

    As disappointed as I was in last year’s opening weekend of March Madness, this one is exceeding all expectations. Putting aside the fact that my bracket now resembles Kabul after the Taliban rolled through in ‘96 – a map of ordered failure –

    I can only hope our returning players (whoever that may be) remember this and realize they need to play motivated EVERY FUCKING GAME and put forward 40 MINUTES of effort each game.

    Just wanted to say I feel for you guys. As a Texas fan I know how this feels even if it’s from a football perspective.

    I still think you’re the best basketball team in the country, and unfortunately you ran into a team that packed a Villanova circa 1985 type game today. Meaning they

    Wow. Wake won’t break 50. Not surprising really — we should have beaten Wake and they are not a very good team.

    We really struggled in the first half, but battled through it to get a tough win against Jacksonville.  On to Oxford!

     Forget what conference they play in, Jacksonville is a very good basketball team, and they got to Lubbock not because of a crazy bank shot at the buzzer in Phoenix, but by playing aggressive, intense defense for
