Bowl Bound: Little Caesars, Belk Bowl

So I remembered that there are two bowl games going on today.  The first one starts in about half an hour which turns out to be the Little Caesars Bowl.  Which pits the 7-5 Western Michigan Broncos from the MAC against the Purdue Boilermakers with a 6-6 record and originating from the Big Ten conference.  And both teams have faced Illinois...unfortunately we only beat Western Michigan.  All of that out the way, scoreboard time!

It was a rather quiet game honestly with the only real action coming in the fourth quarter when Purdue mounted a comeback to tie the game at 31.  Purdue was on the board first with a field goal but WMU responded with a couple of touchdowns.  With about 40 seconds left in the fourth, Western Michigan started a drive and got within field goal range and took the lead 34-31 where the score stayed.

Hopefully WMU can beat Purdue and I know they can at least give them a run for their money, they did us.

As I am typing this up, the Belk bowl which takes the Louisville Cardinals with a 7-5 record from the Big East and the North Carolina State Wolfpack from the ACC and a 7-5 record is simulating away.  Currently NC State is up 7-0, but Louisville is driving towards a score.  I will update this post after that simulation is done with the final score and all that.

That's the final of the Belk Bowl.  It was pretty uneventful so I can't say much about it.  Tonight we will find out how my current tally (at 4-3-1) will end up.  Will it be 6-3 or 5-4 or perhaps even 4-5.  Who knows, we'll find out tonight though.
