Twitter roundup: Meineke Car Care Bowl [deep breath] of Texas Laff Riot

The story of one postseason college football contest, as told through social media.

Never imagined watching this Meineke Bowl would seem so delightful. Like watching football in HD for the 1st time.

Pretty good time for ESPN to flip over to the Texas Tech/Minny game.

We switch to the Meineke Car Care Bowl … and there’s a loooong TD on a kick return? Thank you!

Going from Rutgers-VT to a kick return TD in the Car Care Bowl gave me the bends

— Brian Floyd (@BrianMFloyd) December 29, 2012

That was like watching Texas Tech run back Rutgers’ missed field goal. Smooth blends, Mr. DJ

Poor Kliff had to holster his flask for that interview

— Brian Floyd (@BrianMFloyd) December 29, 2012

LOL’in at Kliff Kingsbury keeping his eyes on the field the whole time during his interview with Jessica Mendoza. He IS a coach.

“Two drink minimum?” “Um, Coach Kingsbury this is a bowl ga–” “Al-right.”

— Luke Zimmermann (@lukezim) December 29, 2012

Ohhh to sit in the third-to-last row of Reliant Stadium with Kliff Kingsbury /swoons

If you’re gonna get an offsides penalty, go ahead and blast the OL across from you ass over tea kettle into the backfield.

It’s now third-and-the distance between Nebraska and Rutgers

3rd and 49 is what you have when you forget to hit pause on EA ’13 when you go to the bathroom.

Mike Bobo, on seeing 3rd and 49: “Amateurs.” i.imgur.com/oE2Rm.jpg

Texas Tech’s right tackle needs to find a new hobby.

— Rick Muscles (@RickMuscles) December 29, 2012

Minnesota scoring 17 points in a half may be the upset of the bowl season.

— Bryan Fischer (@BryanDFischer) December 29, 2012

When you need 2 yards try not to line the ballcarrier up 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage.

Too much bad football today, guys. Gonna watch HORSE FEATHERS on DVD and call it a night.

— Matt Scalici (@MattScalici) December 29, 2012

On the replay, there’s no doubt about it from the rear angle. Amaro looked like he wound up and pounded the DB’s helmet.

— David Ubben (@davidubben) December 29, 2012

Amaro puts his Guns Up on his way into locker room. Love it. Only a handful of schools have a dope hand sign like that for those occasions.

— Michael Felder (@InTheBleachers) December 29, 2012

Guns Up, Texas Tech!If only so you stop shooting yourself in the foot so much.

— RossWB (@RossWB) December 29, 2012

Texas Tech winning the fight (five personal fouls vs. four for Gophers), but losing the ballgame. Down seven with under eight to play.

— David Ubben (@davidubben) December 29, 2012

With their offensive talent Texas Tech always has a puncher’s chance. #NailedIt

— Dan Weiner (@DanWeiner) December 29, 2012

I have expected Tech’s holder to walk over and punch somebody before the PAT.

— @BarkingCarnival (@BarkingCarnival) December 29, 2012

Texas Tech has played awful, doesn’t look super interested to be here and had one of its best players ejected. And just tied the game.

— David Ubben (@davidubben) December 29, 2012

Hate to see Minnesota belk up the football at the most critic–what? Oh, sorry. #wrongbowl

— George Schroeder (@GeorgeSchroeder) December 29, 2012

First Texas Tech forced turnover since Oct. 20. You probably hadn’t heard of Psy back then. Life was better, simpler.

— David Ubben (@davidubben) December 29, 2012

Yeah, well the B1G is 1-0 against the spread.

— Tom Fornelli (@TomFornelli) December 29, 2012

MinNOsota.

— Dan Weiner (@DanWeiner) December 29, 2012

You can rely on Texas Tech to break Minnesota’s heart with a late-game comeback every, oh, six years or so.

— Paul Myerberg (@PaulMyerberg) December 29, 2012

Fire Tommy Tuberville!!!!

uglier than buzzard puke, but a win is a win. #GunsUp
