Congrats on the Holiday Bowl.

I need to ask you guys a favor. I got Rose Bowl tickets and wondering if anyone could recommend a hotel to stay in the area that's not too overpriced, but still quality.

Just got my tickets and room for the game! First time ever going to a bowl game. Part of me kind of wished ucla fell to the jimmy kimmel bowl so we wouldn’t have had to travel so far but the holiday bowl is pretty prestigious!

I hope my other home, the U, keeps Manny and we can dump Chip elsewhere.

Well Bruins, it was a long time coming... but we're FINALLY GOING BOWLING!!! I'm very happy about it. Thank you, Chip Kelly. Thank you DTR and crew. An official bowl game takes by blood pressure down, at least 50%. I chose to be joyful for the time being! Go Bruins! I hope Oregon comes through for Chip. Come back, DTR (unbelievable that I'm saying that... but until someone proven comes, thats where I'm at.) GO BRUINS!!!

Not going to lie, was low key hoping we would be in Sun Bowl in El Paso cause I would have made the 9hr drive from Fort Worth....but, SD and the Holiday Bowl are quality destinations! Gi Bruins....beat the Wolfpack!

Umm, just so I know ahead of time, NC State has a winning record, right? Oh boy...

But still, it is a nice change to get a pretty good bowl game. What could have been with some defensive changes before the season and making this a 10 win season, but I'm looking forward to one more football game this season. Go Bruins!

As Mario Christobal leaves Oregon there are possibilities and rumors that the Ducks will attempt to get Chip Kelly back. Not sure how viable this is since Kelly didn't exactly exit Oregon on good terms, but we can all hope. Probably a better possibility that Oregon goes for Justin Wilcox although everything I've been reading the last couple of days has Kelly as the prime candidate. Please..Please..Please!!!

Just my opinion, I don’t think Kelly is leaving this year. And if we get 8 or 9 wins next year, probably not then. We are gonna hafta give him a good raise in the extension to keep him though. I know that’s not what you guys think or want to hear.

Joe, can you start a coaching carousel open thread? I think we’d all like to discuss this for the next few weeks!

Hopefully prices drop on the game tickets. I really don't want to spend $90 for the nosebleeds at Petco, as beautiful as the park is.

Though I am glad our bench is on the 3rd base line so we can look out at the outfield.

It'll definitely beat sitting through the coldest day in San Diego history within the rotting tomb that was Qualcomm to watch Roberto Griffin the 3rd just mollywop the Bruins on his way to the 2nd overall pick.

But catch us running riot on Gaslamp afterwards, and stocking up on Adobado (pretty sure that's the correct spelling) goodness because no one in LA does it right.
