Twitter roundup: Bowlful Monday Laff Riot

The story of one day in the college football postseason, as told through social media.

Solid crowd at LP Field, but don’t judge it yet. This quaint stadium on the river is a honky labyrinth from hell to get to.

Mike Glennon still leads all prospective NFL draft picks in neckness.

Nobody stands Paul Johnson up for dinner. RT @insideusc: Lane Kiffin has some type of scrape or bump between his eyes. Not sure reason why.

Does Lane Kiffin think the Sun Bowl happens on the Sun? WHAT ARE YOU WEARING CUZ

The Red Lobster scholar of the year is once again a pile of popcorn shrimp.

Red Lobster scholar of the year wins a semi truck full of Cheddar Bay biscuits and a real bad attitude when you ask for a soda refill.

It’s easy to mock the Sun Bowl, but it really is a cool setting, and one of the few old-time bowls the community there truly cares about.

NCS fans giving their own team double birds after that fumble. If the SEC ever loses Arkansas in a fire, it’s good to know you’re here, Pack

— Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) December 31, 2012

RUSSIA HAD A DAMN CZAR. RT@claytravisbgid: Congrats to Vandy on first nine win season since 1915. 1915! 18 years before SEC began.

The Sun Bowl: A team that doesn’t want to be there against a team that doesn’t deserve to be there. El Paso probably deserves better.

— Ralph D. Russo (@ralphDrussoAP) December 31, 2012

Gary’s and Verne’s hearts are not into this defense of Georgia Tech’s bowl eligibility…

— Bill Connelly (@SBN_BillC) December 31, 2012

Perhaps the Bowl Committee should have specified the officiating crew are barred from licking toads in Juarez.

— Timothy Burke (@bubbaprog) December 31, 2012

The ref totally double-clutched the “good” call on the USC field goal. He had absolutely no idea.

— Bill Connelly (@SBN_BillC) December 31, 2012

It’s nice that after a rocky start to the bowl visit USC has gotten into the El Paso spirit by playing like UTEP

— Dan Wetzel (@DanWetzel) December 31, 2012

Yes Lane, keep throwing. Eventually Max Wittek will be the first player to shoot a football into space.

— Pacific Takes (@PacificTakes) December 31, 2012

“Max Wittek to Xavier Grimble” might be my new Relf-to-Bumphis. It sounds like something from the play-by-play of a Quidditch match.

— Doug (@CaptainAnnoying) December 31, 2012

To set up 4th downs like that. RT @dctrojan: why on EARTH is Kiffin calling run passes for short gains & leaving Wittek with 3rd and long?

— Luke Zimmermann (@lukezim) December 31, 2012

USC has 4 first downs in almost 3 full quarters against the nation’s No. 77 D. #ItaintTHATwindy

— Bruce Feldman (@BFeldmanCBS) December 31, 2012

The knock on USC before the year: lack of defensive line depth. NBD, their 52nd quarter is against a pissed-off flexbone team with a lead.

— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) December 31, 2012

You can make depleted roster excuses for Kiffin all you want. He ranked this team No. 1 in the preseason too. Pretty sure he saw the roster.

— Elika Sadeghi (@steakNstiffarms) December 31, 2012

When ‘SC complained about having to go El Paso, as if 5 loss former # 1′s deserve better, you had to know they’d get mopped by 7 loss Tech

— Scott Van Pelt (@notthefakeSVP) December 31, 2012

I still say MTSU should be playing USC right now. RT @solidverbal: Georgia Tech lost to Middle Tennessee State. Convincingly.

— Bill Connelly (@SBN_BillC) December 31, 2012

Remember that badminton match at the Olympics where both teams were trying to lose? This is the football equivalent.

— Brian Floyd (@BrianMFloyd) December 31, 2012

Congrats to Lane Kiffin for being the first coach to struggle with Paul Johnson’s Georgia Tech after having a month to prepare.

— Michael (@BravesAndBirds) December 31, 2012

Honestly thought Paul Johnson might turn around and slug the player with the gatorade cooler right there. He had that look.

— Holly Anderson (@SIHolly) December 31, 2012

Paul Johnson’s team is going ham & he is pissed. Dude is like, “hell no my players better not have a real good time”

— Michael Felder (@InTheBleachers) December 31, 2012

The Sun Bowl really could have used more Belk

— Bobby Big Wheel (@BobbyBigWheel) December 31, 2012

I’m not saying USC will fire Lane Kiffin, but if it happens, Jon Gruden’s going to be a done deal, right?

— Ben Kercheval (@CFTBenKercheval) December 31, 2012

When it loses by 14 and gives up 320 rushing, yes. RT @pete_goemaw_com You see the C-USA champs beating our 2nd worst team as “blowing it?”

— David Ubben (@davidubben) January 1, 2013

Good number of #LSU people in #Clemson hotel. Overflow, or are they seeking our infants to fry and/or pickle?

— The Gurgling Cod (@TheGurglingCod) December 31, 2012

Dabo needs a juice box. Lookin’ sleepy.

— edsbs (@edsbs) December 31, 2012

Also, most #LSU folks I’ve seen appear to have exoskeletons. Just carapaces full of boudin. #jealous

— The Gurgling Cod (@TheGurglingCod) December 31, 2012

Clemson suddenly rethinking strategy to leave Barkevious Mingo unblocked.

— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) January 1, 2013

There is one parachuting Chick-fil-A cow hanging from the SkyCam string. Kind of like the plastic bag in American Beauty.

— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) January 1, 2013

Clemson would be wise to apply very cold peach milkshakes to Tajh Boyd after every possession.

— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) January 1, 2013

You ever watched hummingbirds fight over a feeder? That’s Clemson’s offense, just buzzy and pissed off and too fast for the eye.

— edsbs (@edsbs) January 1, 2013

Barkevious Mingo seems to be fast and often arrives with great force.

— George Schroeder (@GeorgeSchroeder) January 1, 2013

“@mark_schlabach: Sam Montgomery’s calves scare the hell out of me #LSU“<~~ I believe they should be called cows.

— Josh Owens (@josh3owens) January 1, 2013

Tajh Boyd should just concede pursuit and start wearing Kiki Mingo like a vest at the snap.

— edsbs (@edsbs) January 1, 2013

Cramping epidemic here at this indoor game in December.

— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) January 1, 2013

Clemson will probably score but Miles still has 20 seconds and a weird hat. So the Tigers got a shot.

— Rick Muscles (@RickMuscles) January 1, 2013

everything about clemson and les miles says this kick’s a doink. let’s see, tho.

— Bomani Jones (@bomani_jones) January 1, 2013

CLEMRNSSON NATOEIRNN BABABYY!!! MRERSTT IMRPORPTNANT!!! vintage Dabo happening here

— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) January 1, 2013

— Bomani Jones (@bomani_jones) January 1, 2013

PUT JEANINE EDWARDS DOWN DABO SHE IS A KENTUCKY TREASURE

— Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) January 1, 2013

All right, whose instinct was it to cut AWAY from Dabo square-dancing Jeannine Edwards? #cmonman

— Holly Anderson (@SIHolly) January 1, 2013

@siholly ESPN has to show this whole thing, this is not enough bit.ly/VVFHhj

— CJ Fogler (@cjzero) January 1, 2013

@slmandel Because it has been the first one featuring two (2) good teams.

— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) January 1, 2013

In case you think 2012 was bad, remember it was the year that Craig James quit calling football games so he could get 4% in a Senate race
