PrintThis one really baffles me... we go from the Fiesta Bowl to the Orange Bowl to the GMAC Bowl? Strange. Anyhow, I guess they felt they would throw a game in there with less hype to make the National Championship Game seem that much more exciting. This is all speculation of course, but you do have to admit that you're scratching your head at the placement of this one. I know I am.
With that, let's take a look at the teams; The Central Michigan Chippewas against the Troy Trojans. Even though I took a small stab at the placement, there are a few potential NFL prospects to watch in this one. The Chippewas finished 1st in the MAC- West with a (11-2, 8-0) record while the Trojans finished 1st in the Sun Belt with a (9-3, 8-0) record. This one seems to be lop-sided and Central Michigan seems to be favored this evening, but as we have seen in a few games throughout the Bowl Season, you don't under estimate the underdog.
Below we will take a look at some of the key players, stats, and information regarding the game.

He’s an offensive tackle for the Arizona Cardinals.

made a couple notes/corrections on Bulaga/Calloway/Clayborn in the orange bowl thread, in case any of you draft interest posters didn't see it.
most notably Calloway not having been the RT for that game.
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
this game is a december 23rd game
it has no business being played after new years, especially this late after. I refuse to watch. Also, I have no interest.
A hearty thank you to Rich Aurilia for all the good memories, and to the Niners for finally getting the uni's (mostly) right.
turned into a pretty decent game though

Ah [site decorum]
I said I would watch Dan Lefavour and now I missed it!
Why didn’t anyone tell me about this?
Who the [site decorum] schedules the GMAC bowl a day before the national championship???
What we've got here is a failure to communicate.
That question remains a mystery.
Tim Tebow = 1,432,219 season tickets next year. Who wouldn't pick him in the 1st round with those projections?
Will he really play in the Senior Bowl?
He’s not on the official roster (yet?)

LeFevour?
I would think so. That’s strange that he isn’t on the roster.

Maybe
He hasn’t officially accepted.

DAMNITT!!
Having a girlfriend severely limits my ability to keep up with this.
My bad guys, I should have been all over this.
If you turn her in to a wife, you'll have all the time in the world to keep up with this
…nevermind….forget you ever heard that. …Carry on…

Soooo ummmm...
I’m really late and obviously not many were watching, but for those that did can you tell me about your impressions of Lafeavor?
both QB's were excellent

LeFevour
Wow, I only got to see the 4th quarter but the kid has moxy. He stood in there, was directing receivers where to go when the pocket collapsed, made some great throws with great touch…I like that kid.
What round is he proj. again? I’ll take him to compete with Hill/Davis for sure.

CBS has him round 3-4
