That beatdown was one of the more enjoyable games of the year.

Michael Irvin is probably looking for his crack pipe to forget about how his "U" got rolled.

I would NOT want to be a chick on the 7th floor tonight....

Miami Criminal jokes: easier than shooting fish in a thimble.

I turned it off at 34-3. LSU kicked their arses all over the field.

It's not often that I enjoy a blow-out so much.

I believe that if not for Katrina and the resultant chaos it caused in the LSU program, we'd be talking about LSU, USC, and Texas.

Did anyone else see the segment where they talked to the Chick-fil-A representative and he said that starting next year the "Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl" would now be called the "Chick-fil-A Bowl". My suspicion is that there will be one hell of a back-lash for dropping "Peach". It would likely never happen, but could you imagine if the "Rose Bowl presented by Citi" dropped the "Rose" and and called it the "Citibank Bowl". The Big 10 and Pac10 fans would go ballistic.

As long as they keep those damn funny "Eat Mor Chikin" commercials, I'm cool with it.

living in ACC country, yea there was a backlash

Living in SEC country, yeah there is backlash.

If they don't like the bowls changing names, they can go pound friggin' sand, IMO. You can be a bunch over manic greedheads and then complain about that kind of stuff. Hypocrites.

Eh the Peach BOwl, for a logn time a second rate bowl which has done well to market itself and move up the ranks to actually talk about BCS potential, really doesn't mean that much to me as a college football fan. Heck I can remember getting excited watching East Carolina knock off instate foe NC State at the Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium.

This to me is like when the California Bowl took the sponsorship money and changed the name to the Raisin Bowl, not really a big deal. If it were the Orange or Rose or Sugar, then yes I would understand it, but c'mon the Peach Bowl has less history in it than Keith Jackson's left pinky finger.

Sure in terms of magnitude, the Rose and Orange exceed the Peach. But to be fair the Peach Bowl's history is nothing to be so easily dismissed. The game has been played continuously since 1968. It has had such greats as Jim Kelly, Mike Singletary, Wilber Marshall, Randy White, and Reggie White play in the game. To me this whole sponsorship topic is a slippery slope argument, if we can so easily remove the Peach Bowl name, a bowl with its sights set on being included in the BCS mix, perhaps we're really not to far from the Cotton, Fiesta and Sugar Bowls being renamed. Heck, I was almost convinced that the Fiesta Bowl was in fact just the Tostitos Bowl looking at all of the adds around the stadium. I'm sure college football could live with that, after all it is ruled by the almighty dollar, but I on the otherhand don't like to see histiry and tradition so easiliy erased. Perhaps bowl will start having a Prince-like moniker. I can see it now, welcome fans to the Tostitos Bowl formerly know as the Fiesta Bowl.
