Twitter roundup: Holiday Bowl Laff Riot
The story of one college football postseason contest, as told through social media.
If you’re not playing this on a loop during every commercial break with the TV muted, you’re not really Holiday Bowling youtube.com/watch?v=iPy7uG…

You’re being optimistic RT @edsbs: Holiday Bowl doesn’t come on until 9:45 ET & w/Baylor playing should end around 3 a.m.
— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) December 27, 2012
But on a serious note, the Big Ten refers to the amount of points that’ll be scored in the Holiday Bowl as “October.”

The pattern on the shoulders of Baylor’s uniform is a wing.A wing of a bear.
— Vico (@ourhonordefend) December 28, 2012
As good as this Baylor offense is, it really gets slowed down when Nick Florence can’t successfully get the snap.
— David Ubben (@davidubben) December 28, 2012
Two punts in the first two possessions for the Holiday Bowl. I think that hit the over already.
— Bryan Fischer (@BryanDFischer) December 28, 2012
Baylor just anticipated and tipped a UCLA checkdown. THEY’VE FIGURED IT OUT ALREADY
— The Solid Verbal (@SolidVerbal) December 28, 2012
UCLA’s defense looks like it’s on holiday, amirite?
— Amanda Rykoff (@amandarykoff) December 28, 2012
Nick Florence has cunningly turned off injuries on his options menu. More QBs should look into that.

In glaring contrast to Tubbz’ pleather game, observe the beautifully coordinated purple ties in the Holiday booth.

UCLA goes for it on 4th-and-18. This is the Holiday Bowl I signed up for.
— David Ubben (@davidubben) December 28, 2012
Every time I see a UCLA game, I weep for the atrocities adidas has committed upon them.
— Peter (@runthedive) December 28, 2012
Not surprised Baylor’s lighting up UCLA D, but stunned Bruin O struggling like this: 0-4 on 3rd downs.
— Bruce Feldman (@BFeldmanCBS) December 28, 2012
Think it was Bear Bryant who said, “Hey, if you’re going to go for it on 4th-and-18, make sure to only throw it five yards downfield.”
— David Ubben (@davidubben) December 28, 2012
Really unsporting to schedule the Holiday Bowl after UCLA’s offense has already gone into hibernation for the winter.
— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) December 28, 2012
Baylor’s 3rd down strategy: basically the old “field goal block” blitz everyone call on Madden 1996
— Smart Football (@smartfootball) December 28, 2012
As Kansas State learned, Baylor’s defense can make you feel like the game is still in reach. And then the offense takes the field.
— David Ubben (@davidubben) December 28, 2012
For the second half he’ll be wearing Hugh Hefner style pajamas RT @runthedive: Art Briles is smoking a cigarette
— Smart Football (@smartfootball) December 28, 2012
Was there no film available on Baylor? I know this offense is really tough to defend, but UCLA could not be doing a much worse job.
— Ralph D. Russo (@ralphDrussoAP) December 28, 2012
Bill Snyder nods solemnly. Tosses more eye of newt in the cauldron.
— @BarkingCarnival (@BarkingCarnival) December 28, 2012
Glad someone finally got Rece Davis to host a Reese’s halftime show.
— Ryan Hudson (@ry_hudson) December 28, 2012
Call him “Nick Firenze” so everyone knows that you did a semester abroad
— Bobby Big Wheel (@BobbyBigWheel) December 28, 2012
If you are a running back and you do the Walter Payton mule kick juke I have no choice but to love you like you are my own child.
— edsbs (@edsbs) December 28, 2012
“Baylor is making a statement” …true… Then again, so is UCLA.
— Bruce Feldman (@BFeldmanCBS) December 28, 2012
Just a gentle reminder that this Baylor team finished with a losing record in Big 12 play. This league is hard, y’all.
— Patrick Southern (@patricksouthern) December 28, 2012
“What’s the big deal about Lache Seastr…never mind”
— Bobby Big Wheel (@BobbyBigWheel) December 28, 2012
Nick Florence is Abercrombie Mose Schrute.
— The Solid Verbal (@SolidVerbal) December 28, 2012
Baylor, 112th in the country in sacks with 13 on the season, has 5 sacks in 1st half vs. UCLA.
— Bruce Feldman (@BFeldmanCBS) December 28, 2012
UCLA players getting chippy with each other is the pinnacle of Jim Mora.
— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) December 28, 2012
Seastrunk is a video game RT @bobbybigwheel: @brianmfloyd HE GOES THE SAME SPEED WHEN HE’S MOVING SIDEWAYS
— Brian Floyd (@BrianMFloyd) December 28, 2012
You know how your team has a good coach? When it loses a talent like RG3 and doesn’t miss a step on offense. #briles
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) December 28, 2012
Is UCLA using a medicine ball on offense?
— @BarkingCarnival (@BarkingCarnival) December 28, 2012
Hope Mora sends that unused timeout to a good home. Should’ve used that instead of first-down spike.
— Pat Forde (@YahooForde) December 28, 2012
Not to be outdone by rival USC, UCLA shows up 90 minutes late for Holiday Bowl
— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) December 28, 2012
Jim Mora is humming about how he’ll write a postcard to his friends and family in free verse. #weezerintheheadset #holidaybowl
— Colin Seiler (@colinseiler) December 28, 2012
Lache Seastrunk with the rarely-seen pity fumble.
— Colin Seiler (@colinseiler) December 28, 2012
Don’t give Art Briles a reason, Jim Mora.
— edsbs (@edsbs) December 28, 2012
PUNTER WITH THE FORM TACKLE
— Vico (@ourhonordefend) December 28, 2012
That touchdown should be disallowed if only because this game shouldn’t be allowed to appear to be this close.
— Colin Seiler (@colinseiler) December 28, 2012
UCLA goes wild in the end zone as their last-second touchdown cuts their margin of defeat to only 24 points!
— Voodoo Five (@usfvoodoo5) December 28, 2012
GO FOR TWO
— Brandon (@TeamSpeedKills) December 28, 2012
Not sure what’s more hilarious, UCLA trying to score in the final seconds, or Art Briles challenging to take it off the board.
— David Ubben (@davidubben) December 28, 2012
I think I can go to sleep knowing who is the Ursa Major in this game.
