Hello Rocky Bowlers --
Well, you can't say that the Rocky Bowl hasn't provided you with some exciting college football bowl action this year that you wouldn't otherwise have watched, enjoyed or agonized over.
The Vizio BCS National Championship game should provide more thrilling moments for Rocky Bowlers as all of the top money spots remain in the balance pending the results of tonight's game. Only 3 Rocky Bowlers have money positions locked up: Dick "I'm a Rookie" Watson, Thomas "Flying" Wright and of course Double-A-ron Bowe with his Toilet Bowl. We know you will be watching on the edge of your couch. So, while you are enjoying the game, I have an assignment for you. Read on ...
The New Mexico Bowl kicked off the bowl season and the Washington State Cougars reminded everyone what "Coug'in it" is all about with their late game meltdown. At the Rocky Bowl party sitting by the fire pit drinking a Rulo Cabernet, Kurt 'Dr. Wino" Schlicker suggested that if "Selfie" can make it into the Webster's dictionary, that "Coug'd it" shouldn't be a problem. I wonder what he thinks now that his Cardinal pretty much "Shaw'd it" in the Rose Bowl. Perhaps a family of new sports related terms could make it in ...
Coug'd it: A late game meltdown by a team resulting in a loss from a series of self inflicted mistakes.
Shaw'd it: A series of running plays in key game situations that results in no gain and a loss.
Crimson Tide'd it: Give up a Field Goal kick return for a TD to lose on the last play of the game.
Dawg'd it: Achieve your best record in years and have your coach leave for USC.
Duke'd it: Give a big lead in the second half to a team lead by Johnny Football.
Manziel'd it: To win a game in exciting and improbable fashion against a team you should blowout.
Come on Rocky Bowlers, hit the comment link on this post and tell us and the world about the word or phrase you'd like to see added to the Webster's or Rocky Bowl dictionary. If you don't have one, tell us your favorite or most agonizing moment of your Rocky Bowl experience past or present. We'd love to hear about it.
You already know my most agonizing moment of this year's Rocky Bowl. And my favorite moment all time of the Rocky Bowl... Well, you should know that too...
Here's to "Coug'in it" ... :) The way it's meant to be defined ...
Thanks everyone. I hope you have enjoyed yourselves. I wish you the best in the coming year. Don't forget to be on the lookout for your "TopCoug and Rocky Bowl Friends" March Madness invitation.

After my worst RB finish ever, I think, I propose a rule change for next year. Let's eliminate any bowl with a team from Ohio or any Big Ten team. I went a dismal 4/11.
ReplyDeleteWTF'd it: Speechless and onfused look, with a far away stare, when said team drops game with under 3 minutes to play and up by 2 scores.
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed bowling in the 2014 RBS. I discovered that my competitive juices are still flowing as I rooted against my team in the BCS Championship, recognizing that thier loss would place me one slot shy of cracking the top 10. I also determined that, had the luck of the Irish been with me and I actually had won the RBS, my payout calculation would have been $.35 cents/hour, given my logged hours of Bowl viewing.
Thanks....Iceman
Iceman, thanks for the comments and thanks for participating in the RBS this year. Glad we could provide some incentive to fracture your allegiance to your school. :)
ReplyDeleteBrings chills to my spine just reading this.....and I would be pumped to play for this guy if I was returning. Ownership, Accountability and Pride....pretty powerful!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHere's a copy of the speech that Auburn's Coach Malzahn delivered to his players in the locker room after their loss to Florida State in the BCS Championship:
“I know we are all disappointed. We are stinkin’ competitors. I’m just gonna tell you this: We feel like crap right now. But everybody in this room is stinkin’ champions. They fought their butt off. We make a play or two, we end up winning the game.
“Here’s what I don’t want you to do: I don’t want anybody to have their head down. I don’t want anybody playing the name game, all that crap. Man, we’re all in this. I could have done a better job, too. We got beat. We’re gonna give those guys credit. We’re gonna show class, all right?
“Because you learn the biggest lessons in life through adversity. But I’m gonna tell you, when everybody looks back on this team? They’re gonna remember that it’s the biggest turnaround in college football history.
“I’m just gonna say this to you seniors. I know I talked to y’all last night. We love every one of you. You’re the ones that got us here. We’ll never forget the senior class. I just wanted to say that. What you guys did? You laid the groundwork for the best years to come.
“I’m just gonna tell you right now, I’m proud of you. You fought your butt off. They had to make a play or two to win. It’s OK to be disappointed — crap, we should. That’s OK. But let’s just make sure we’re together. We’re different than everybody. I want everybody to understand, OK? All right.”
