OU vs Louisiana-Monroe in Independence Bowl

[Hoggy]

By Matthew Osborne

Looking over this list of bowls, I can't help but wonder what's happened to college football as I once knew it. When I was a kid (we're not even talking that long ago, folks), the Independence Bowl was a big-time game. This year, Ohio and Louisiana-Monroe are in it.

Predictions:
Ohio (plus-7.5) over Louisiana-Monroe (Independence Bowl) -- After I saw this bowl match-up, I threw up. While I was cleaning myself, I remembered that Ohio once was good before tanking late.

The Warhawks and Bobcats were all the rage when the season started. Louisiana-Monroe stunned Arkansas—thought to be a national title contender at the time—in the season opener and nearly took out Auburn before losing in overtime. Meanwhile, Ohio rallied past Penn State in the emotional opener for the Nittany Lions after their tumultuous offseason. Both teams enter this one 8-4—ULM riding a two-game winning streak, Ohio losing four of its last five. The offenses are led by ULM quarterback Kolton Browning (2,830 passing yards, 27 TDs) and Ohio running back Beau Blankenship, who has a single-season school-record 1,500 rushing yards.

SN’s pick: Louisiana-Monroe. The Warhawks season-opening gauntlet of Arkansas, Auburn and Baylor prepared them for the Sun Belt, and Browning’s efficiency will be the difference.

Go OU, Kickin' some serious butt! 38-7 with 8 min to go in 3rd. Looks like they got healthy during the break! They look like they did during the 1st half of the season.

By using the transitive property of college football, we can infer that Ohio would be the 4th best team in the SEC West.

My father played basketball and baseball at OU over 50 years ago....

...he hates it that Ohio State spells out Script Ohio or the OSU cheerleaders wear only "Ohio" on their sweaters...

They are Ohio State and not Ohio...
