Pizza Bowl Preview: Ohio U vs. Marshall

Little Caesar’s Pizza Pizza Bowl-

Robert Guliano on Why Ohio will win: Finally we get a game with two top ten teams. Marshall has been in the top ten in inspirational sport’s movies in recent years, and Ohio has made its home on the Princeton Review’s top ten party schools. As a student at Ohio University, I can attest that the football team’s mysterious success has created little buzz around campus. After all, cheap beer, hard liquor, and various gateway drugs typically account for most buzzes at Ohio University. The game should be the ugliest in recent bowl history and will fittingly be held in Detroit. The Bobcat’s late MAC run should provide enough momentum for a victory in this one.

Ohio Players to Watch:

3. Frank Solich- He’s such a little creeper.

2. QB Theo Scott- The Bobcat quarterback has looked almost potent and barely composed all season, but it has been enough to get by.

1. Captain Morgan- It is a one o’clock game on a Saturday. The majority of Ohio students are hung-over at one on a Saturday, so there is no reason to think the football team won’t be.

Brandon Hickey on why Marshall will win: We are…Marshall! We are…without a coach! Mark Snyder appropriately walked out on his team after the last regular season game where they were blown out by UTEP. After his resignation, the Thundering Herd was naturally invited to the Little Caesar’s Pizza Pizza Bowl. The proud school of such NFL stars as Chad Pennington, Byron Leftwich, and Randy Moss has hit hard times, last appearing in a bowl game in 2004. The Thundering Herd has yet to announce an interim coach, but one might think that Matthew McConaughey has the best chance to get the nod after his performance in that one movie that didn’t win any awards.

3. Julius Caesar-The late emperor of the Roman Empire has to be furious with being the face of a pizza company that specializes in specializing $5 pizzas. What a fall from grace.

2. WR Darius Marshall-He plays for both the name on the front of his jersey and the back of his jersey.

1. QB Brian Anderson-The former Cleveland Indians pitcher and broadcaster needs to step up against the dangerous Bobcat defense. Look for many fastballs coming off his three step drop.

THE COMPROMISE: Solich earns his controversial bowl win bonus, 23-19 Cats.
