You didn't have to wait this long, I've looked stupid on that take since the Pac-12CG.

The real question is, does this mean Texas is back?

TEXAS IS BACK, BABY!

[Pooker]

Well, I'm just going to pretend that these last couple of games never happened.

Nothing is more Texas than everybody asking "is Texas back?" after winning a bowl game. So, yes, they're back.

I think DMN was being sarcastic, since Texas claimed to be back last year after beating Georgia in the Sugar, only to go 8-5 this year.

This has been a fun Rose Bowl so far. Looks like it’s going to go down to the wire.

Texas had claimed they're back every year since Colt McCoy left. They belong with Tennessee, USC, Miami, and Nebraska in the 'this is the year we're BACK!' club.

I assumed you were talking about Sam Ehlinger’s “Weeeeeeeee’re baaaaaaaaaack!” after the Sugar Bowl last year, specifically.

But yeah, until they stop losing 3 games every year, they should shut up.

Hey now, Miami has made it clear they'd rather avoid scandals than ever actually "be back".

Sadly, I agree with this. The Vols are showing signs, but they are definitely not back yet.

Miami could win a million games but if they ain't The U then what's the point?

[GhostMachine]

Not happy at all with the Vols' performance in the Gator Bowl. Yes, they won, but it was a fourth quarter comeback with a one-point win, after they gave up 2 TDs (one a pick six run) quick earlier. Their run defense is still garbage. No excuse for letting Indiana's QB run for as many yards as he did. Its like they tried to give the game away.

[Meacon Keaton]

But they won. This team last year would’ve lost. And this team two years ago wouldn’t have even made the bowl game. Indiana wasn’t a pushover chump school this year. Appreciate the comeback and ride the momentum into the offseason.

[Meacon Keaton]

Mississippi State fired Joe Moorhead because they think they’re suppose to win nine games every year in the SEC West. They gave him two years. They deserve to go 2-10 next year.

The problem is that their run defense has been horrible for years, even prior to Butch Jones (but got worse under him), and the coaching staff doesn't seem to care about doing anything to fix it. That, and their red zone offense is trash. 

[Meacon Keaton]

I mean, they just signed four Rivals four-star defensive linemen and a fifth three-star. I think that’s more than trying to fix it. You’re not going to be Georgia overnight.

This makes me feel so old. I do not like it

[DMN in the House]

Two weeks may work for the NFL, but it definitely does not work in college. Game should have been last night.

[gunnar hendershow]

I enjoy bowl games but it was better when they were all tightly packed together over 10 days than this 4 weeks nonsense.

[Meacon Keaton]

You can thank ESPN and their need to own 99% of the bowl game coverages on that one.

It used to be "The Most Wonderful Week of the Year"! ESPN even marketed it as that.

I guess it's cool for the smaller schools to have their game be the only game that night, but how many people were really tuning in on Monday night to see Louisiana and Miami-OH?
