Twitter roundup: 2012 Poinsettia Bowl Laff Riot
The story of a bowl game, as told through social media.
And now, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir lets loose: “Lark the herald Cougars sing / How will James the pigskin fling?” #BYUFootballCarols

Sometimes you’ve just gotta let Lark fly.
— Brian Floyd (@BrianMFloyd) December 21, 2012
And other times, Lark slams into a window.

Adam Dingwell is a decent quarterback and a disastrous air traffic controller.

Simultaneously violating four different components of the BYU Honor Code while BYU is playing. I used to be better than this.

Greasy center: poinesttia disease, or you after celebrating the Poinsettia Bowl? Poinsettia disease. #PoinsettiaBowlFastFacts

Team Tenochtitlan’s pitch-and-catch precision is peering into the pit of paucity.
— Matt Zemek (@MattZemek_CFN) December 21, 2012
And I have muted the TV and gone back to music. Thanks for trying, CFB.

A FOOTBALL THING HAS HAPPENED #PoinsettiaBowl
— Holly Anderson (@SIHolly) December 21, 2012
I attended a BYU team campfire service before a game last season. There’s no better singing squad in sports, I assure you.

Someday you will tell your children you saw Texas and BYU in the same season without serviceable quarterbacks.
— Dennis Dodd (@dennisdoddcbs) December 21, 2012
David Pollack just called a penalty the biggest play of the first half. He’s not wrong.

My favorite thing about Bronco Mendenhall is that he’ll tuck a t-shirt into a pair of pleated khakis with no fear.
— Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) December 21, 2012
I wish we could combine BYU and Michigan St to get a beastly, dominating defense and the 75th-best offense in the FBS.
— Paul Myerberg (@PaulMyerberg) December 21, 2012
Poinsettias have something or other to do with Christmas. #PoinsettiaBowlFastFacts

When the question is, ‘how do you improve your offense, coach?’ and the answer is ‘better punting’ you have hit bottom.
— Ralph D. Russo (@ralphDrussoAP) December 21, 2012
This is BYU’s “on purpose” offense?
— Tony Gerdeman (@GerdOzone) December 21, 2012
This is the most lopsided 6-3 game I’ve ever seen.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) December 21, 2012
Never thought I’d say this, but… BYU should go to the Jeff Bowden rainbow offense. Just throw jump balls. Better than this trash.
— TomahawkNation.com (@TomahawkNation) December 21, 2012
BYU’s had a lot of doors open this year; the offense prefers trying to walk through walls.
— Michael Felder (@InTheBleachers) December 21, 2012
Puntsettia Bowl
— Jeff (@saintwarrick) December 21, 2012
Through three quarters, Poinsettia Bowl has featured eleven punts, six three-and-outs, three turnovers and zero touchdowns.

This is more like bologna RT @theharryadams: Ham! #SanDiegoCountyCreditUnionPoinsettiaBowl

THE END ZONE IS MADE OF LAVA. #PoinsettiaBowl
— Andrew Bolte (@albolte) December 21, 2012
Hosanna! A touchdown! Fittingly, it comes courtesy of the BYU defense: Kyle Van Noy forces a fumble in the end zone, falls on it for the TD.
— Eye on College FBall (@EyeOnCFB) December 21, 2012
I finally leave the room for a minute and a touchdown is scored. And by the only player on BYU capable of scoring a TD.
— Tom Fornelli (@TomFornelli) December 21, 2012
We’ve all wanted to. RT @slmandel: As if this game wasn’t strange enough, ESPN’s guest official in the booth called Carter Blackburn “Bart.”
— George Schroeder (@GeorgeSchroeder) December 21, 2012
This game is just calamity upon calamity. Amazing.
— Andrew Bucholtz (@AndrewBucholtz) December 21, 2012
This game is far from over. No, really, because SDSU will be throwing a lot of incompletions.
— Dennis Dodd (@dennisdoddcbs) December 21, 2012
If I could have designed a game to watch while nauseous and dehydrated, with massive body aches, it would be this 1. Thanks SD Credit Union

“Muema has been our only remotely consistent offensive weapon, and our last seven possessions have been punts or turnovers. Let’s sit him.”
— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) December 21, 2012
Is this what we want football to be?
— Peter (@runthedive) December 21, 2012
The receiver tripped, but that’s okay because the pass was five yards out of bounds
— Brandon (@TeamSpeedKills) December 21, 2012
@siholly BRING THE KYLE VAN NOYSE
— Robert Husseman (@RHusseman) December 21, 2012
This truly is the Kyle Van Noynsettia Bowl
— Dan Weiner (@DanWeiner) December 21, 2012
Kyle Van No You May Not
— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) December 21, 2012
Van Noy almost beat the ball to the quarterback
— Brandon (@TeamSpeedKills) December 21, 2012
San Diego State is in Kyle Van Noy’s red zone.
— Brett (@BLeez17) December 21, 2012
Van Noy. RT @sbnationcfb: Blocked punt, interception, 1.5 sacks, forced fumble, fumble recovery, two touchdowns, eight tackles.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) December 21, 2012
Maybe Blackburn signing the game off with an Anchorman joke was his way of acknowledging this game has gone on FAR PAST THE POINT OF FUNNY.
— Holly Anderson (@SIHolly) December 21, 2012
Are we just going to applaud BYU’s defense for running up the score tonight?
— Peter (@runthedive) December 21, 2012
We had a heated argument over who was worse... San Diego, BYU, or the Jets. Other than that, the game was more than entertaining if you consider the laff-o-meter.
