Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
So here we go, nine days after New Year's Day, with the game that America wanted to see (sorry TCU, I know your undefeated record has somewhat of a claim to this, but the truth of the matter is that no one wanted to see you play for the title). Will this game prove to be the offensive explosion that most pundits predict? Get out your Tostitos...and while you're keeping score, keep track of here to see which lucky SoSG reader takes home the goods!

Making tonight's game slightly more interesting for a few of us, the final standings for SoSG Bowl Mania will be finalized. If Auburn wins, the Professor will have yet another trophy completing the sweep of the '10-'11 SoSG Fantasy season. If the Ducks prevail, I will end the Dittmore Dynasty (said with the Oregon mascot's Daffy Duck lisp and spittle).
Tostitos, among the worst chips in the world, gets TWO bowls?
what's the other one?
Jason, what's Bowl Mania? Do you ahve a link?
An injury on the kick-off! YESSS
So far this game sucks.
Defensive stops by both teams on their first possessions. Who Knew?
It is almost "Both offenses are nervous" time.
Karina might just win.
It is starting to look that way.
Wow. Yup, Karina's 11 is looking pretty good right now.
And it doesn't even have Clooney or Pitt.
Bowl Mania was another ESPN game that spun off of SoSG FF...

Isn't it still the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl too?
Oh, and I think my 55 refers to the number of picks in the game.
BTW, here on the East Coast the game just ended. So I know the final score.
But I won't ruin it.
Tostitoes Fiesta Bowl it is.
Woo! Only 64 more points and I win!
(cries)
Now we're rollin'
51 more points and it's all mine.
Karina still alive. Though, it's a bit nuts to think there will be fewer than 14 more points scored tonight.
Quad's got a healthy 9-point range to work with. If there was a real-time accuscore on this contest, his stock would be rising especially after that 4th down stop.
16-11 Auburn
Ah, there it is. The classic "Touchdown-no, wait, he's brought down" Musburger call.
cmon, Ducks!
Hmmm. I've got a fighting chance here!
Has a hurry-up-style offense ever won a big game?
Has it come down to Karina's Eleven vs Quad's Double Triples?
WTF did they do to that field? Everyone is slipping.I thought that shit was state of the art?
@Spank - they said they replaced the entire field after the Tostitos Tostito Bowl
Where the fuck is everyone? *kicks trash can over*
What did they replace the turf with, guacamole?
They should have used a layer of queso dip on the field to help the traction.
Newton is sick
he's been loopy since that hit
I don't think Newton knows where he is now. And that's scary!
They'll deport him if he's not careful!
I love it when the commentators tell me when it's a huge third down. Because otherwise I would have no idea.
Or shoot him.
Oregon has changed their uniforms look more times this year than I changed names in Fantasy Football.
Oh shit, now the commentators tell me that time is a factor for the Ducks.
I wonder if the score is a factor, too?
Punt and then here comes the 8 pointer from the ducks to send it to o.t. Then we are all back in it
Looks like Auburn may be going into the prevent offense.
OOOOOOOOH!!!!!
Might one say that that was a big fumble?
Maybe they'll go to OT and MRLASC will win the points prediction contest.
Oh Snap!
Los Patos are going to score?
Pass the MOFO,MOFO's
Wait, are time outs important?
Los Patos or Los Putos? What'll it be?
That was a big third down!
Yeah OT baby
That was a big #2 I just took, too.
QUACKSEVENS!
Snatched out of Karina's hands and into Quad's...for the moment.
He wasn't down! Wow!
A TD would snatch it from Q7.
Karros said snatch.
I'm looking for a game winning field goal now! Come on kickers!
That sucks freakin Jerry Rice play
It's gotta be the shoes.
It just might happen, Quad.
or not.
Not. SEC up in dis bish!
FUCK!
or maybe?
D'oh!
Looks like a knee may have been down. But was ball crossing plane at same time?
Is this what might be called a big review?
Quad and rnblaw are the only ones who care about this replay call...
I care, Karros. I care.
I care so much it hurts.
Either way Auburn scores a TD.Fuck it.Give it to em
South Florida Kicker does anyone remember wide left
Newton will take it in.
FG attempt...interesting. I'd try running it in once.
Kick it!!!
...and DB.
Looks like Chizik gets to decide who wins this contest.
I would not attempt to throw it into the waiting arms of an opposing player. #RyanMallett
Laces In! Laces In!
run it/center it
I don't trust these coaches not to outsmart themselves.
Perfect time for a flea-flicker. Nobody's expecting it.
^ I made that comment before reading DB's.
SEC UP IN DIS BISH!!!
Booooooooooooooo!!
*
i feel like i just got knofed
Congrats Quad.
So I'm guessing it's #1 Auburn, #2 TCU, #3 Oregon, #4 Stanford, #5 Ohio State
Quadsevens, you are a winner! Shoot us your snail mail address please
congrats, quad!
Hey, Quadsevens was a winner before this contest.
Congrats Cam Newton and Auburn.
What is the average number of amazing sports redemption stories per year?
Medic! El Montanero was knofed in the robs!
Little Rock, Arkansas' own Michael Dyer.
Damn I wish he were a Hog.
aint nobody wipin they ass in Auburn tonight
Just like any other night in Auburn, FB.
I couldn't get a measly 7 points more from each of these scoring powerhouses?
I am going to create a Spank App for the IPhone.
Knofed in the robs. Fucked in the armpit.
Goddamn review officials.
99!
A Spank app! I love it.
What would a Spank app do? Steel Reserve ads along bottom scroll...random drunken jibberish texted to you at 2:45am?
I LIKE!
Oh, wait, did you mean THAT kind of Spank app?
The most amazing thing about this game? ESPN went from the start of Oregon's second-to-last possession (the one before Newton's fumble) to the on-field interview with Newton before they went to commercial. If my DVR is right, they went 42 minutes uninterrupted.
@FB
It was interrupted by Muffburger's shameless "For all the Tostitos" plug.
That and and the other, DB.
hmm maybe not 42 - I was a few minutes begind. But it's at least 30 minutes
yeah that was pretty shitty. Brent knows when to step up in the big games
Great end to the game. But Cam Newton and his Dad both should have been booted from the NCAA long ago.
Tru Dat,BDD.
gnite all
True, Big Daddy.
Where'd everyone go?
*bites the turnbuckle; rips out stuffing*
Spank app there's a app for that
That fletch pic still makes me giggle
@DB YES!!
Always room for a George the Animal Steele reference.
Now the day is complete.
Thought you'd like that, Big Daddy.
