Orange Bowl Coaches Presser Today

Does anyone know CJH mentioned he went to Orange Bowl 3 times before, once as a player, twice as coach. I only counted once as a coach: that was the 2005 season when he was an assisntant at OU. By the time when 2015 Orange Bowl (also CFP) was played between OU and Clemson, CJP had already been fired by OU and was coaching Utah State that season. UCF never went to Orange Bowl.

I think 2014 Orange Bowl was his last game he coached at Oklahoma, also to Clemson in a blowout loss. He was The escape goat after that season.

Nevermind. You are right. That was the Citrus bowl against Clempson, not Orange.

I think he was referring to the 2009 BCS championship game against Florida. Technically he was right, it was played at the same stadium. Ironically, in 2015 Orange Bowl, OU also lost to Clemson, and you mentioned in the 2014 Citrus, they got blown out by Clemson (where CJH was in his last year as OC, lost 6-40).

Does the Clemson helmet look like a little kids helmet to anyone else or is it just me?

Maybe just you. Who gives a rat nibbled fig newton about Clemson's helmets? Just beat the Clementine out of them, darling. Sides, Clementines aren't really oranges, they're hybrid fakes.

Certainly a sign of the times winds of change when the Orange Bowl means little. Use to be a prize treasure to achieve year after year.

I wouldnā€™t say it ā€œmeans littleā€. A NY6 Bowl is still a big deal. Thereā€™s just not quite the reverence for it the way there was back in the day when there was no playoff you had Sugar, Orange, Rose and Fiesta Bowls on January 1st every year and playing on New Years Day truly felt reserved for elite teams.

What an archaic way to pick a champion though lol.

It's just odd these days that NY6 bowls are not played on NY's. There are no NY's bowls actually. I't just time to move on to the FCS format and be done with it.

D1 CFB always seems a decade (or century) behind the times. No 1 vs 2 National Championship until 1998. No 4 team playoff until 2014. No true playoff until 2024.

This is because New Year's Day is on a Sunday, been this way for while (maybe forever not sure).

Really? I don't understand why some supposed college football fans don't realize there's far more to the game than chasing a national championship. We're talking about two national powerhouse teams duking it out on primetime. Why would any fan who truly enjoys college football not want to watch that? It's the Orange Bowl. It's an honor to be invited to play in it. And it's a really big deal.

Sounds like you just called the coach a liar.
