Baylor won the Holiday Bowl 49-19

The picture above is a still from the last play of the game, when Jim Mora decided to double down on what my dad would call "chickenshit" and throw for the endzone as time expired. Why the timeout Baylor requested was not granted and this play reviewed, as all scoring plays are supposed to be, is beyond me.

Love Fest! Or, The Holiday Bowl Gameday Experience

I spent an unforgettable twenty four hours in San Diego for the Holiday Bowl. The defense swarmed and the offense pounded their way to a blowout win. Let's break down the things that happened off the field, shall we?

2012 Holiday Bowl Highlights

Because it never gets old watching Baylor demolish one of the same schools that reportedly nixed our inclusion in the Pac16-that-almost-was two years ago. And winning bowl games is nice, too, of course.

The Baylor Bears are the 2012 Holiday Bowl Champions

After going up 35-10 at the half, Baylor salted away a rout in the second, finishing the game with a 49-19 (as it should be) victory over the UCLA Bruins. Everything went right for the Bears tonight in an absolutely dominant win across the board.

HALFTIME: Baylor 35, UCLA 10

The first half could not have gone better for Baylor absent Christ himself returning at the half with a chorus of angels behind him and all believers ascending into Heaven. The defense is playing its best game of the season, the offense is rolling, and the world is seeing what the Bears are all about.

Holiday Bowl 2012: Baylor Bears vs. UCLA Bruins

After nearly a month off from college football, we're back and ready to go tonight from San Diego, California. Let's hope the Baylor contingent on-hand is as big as it sounds from twitter and facebook!

Kickoff moved back to 9:00 Central, 7 Pacific

Because of the near-certainty that the Duke-Cincinnati game is going to go over its allotted time, the kickoff for the Holiday Bowl has already been moved back 5 minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if it is moved back even more. The first half of the Belk Bowl took 2.5 hours.

UPDATE: Adam Kaye said on twitter that the game can't be moved back any more than 9 CST and would likely start on a separate channel if the Belk Bowl continues to run over.
