Cure Bowl

Fourth game of the day.  Even ESPN wasn't interested in carrying this game so it's off to CBS Sports Network.

Georgia State vs. San Jose State

This was a college bowl game between a team that had one win in its two previous seasons against a team with a 5-7 record.  The Cure Bowl is also one of the new games this year.

I watched a live quarter. There were few people in the stands.  It was for a good cause.

There was a sequence of plays in the first quarter that had three consecutive plays with injuries.  I don't think I've seen that before.

I did not come back for any of the other quarters.

San Jose State 27  Georgia State 16

My pick:  SJSU (4-0)

Game notes:

-Bowl swag, pretty weak. Nike pullover; flexfit, flat bill cap; watch; Tervis tumbler; commemorative metal ticket; chill towel; key chain.  I doubt anyone was saving their ticket from this game, let alone having a metallic version of it.  And key chain, really, a key chain?

-The game MVP was SJSU quarterback Kenny Potter.


 It's not often your team wins its bowl game and still finishes with a losing record.  Go Spartans!
