Around SBN: UFC 146 Predictions

Holiday Bowl: Open Thread Where Everyone Cheers for Cal

Up tonight -- at 7:00 pm on ESPN - it's the Holiday Bowl in San Diego with the California Golden Bears against those underwhelming Texas Longhorns.

I don't have to try too hard to guess which team you'll be cheering for.

Both teams finished the regular season 7-5, both teams have had issues with quarterbacks, and problems with scoring points, so if you're watching this tonight, keep in mind that the first team to 14 will probably win.

Prediction: Ash sucks, Cal takes lead. Ash gets pulled, McCoy is serviceable, which is more than enough to beat a bad Cal team.

I think Jon's right though

That 7 on 7 summer football generates great skill position players, not so much for the big uglies. The athleticism is clearly there, especially on defense.

They're lucky

That they got probably the worst bowl eligible team out of the Pac 12. UCLA may be worse. Maybe. They looked decent against Oregon.
