Twitter roundup: Belk Bowl Laff Riot

The story of one postseason college football contest, as told through the magic social media.
Duke in a bowl game! It's here! Duke in a bowl game!

Duke just scored a TD, had its PAT blocked, but the kicker picked it up and ran it in for two. Could be their night.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) December 27, 2012
To correct a common misperception: Duke is not 50 million times more motivated than Cincinnati. Only 49 million.

How bleak WAS Duke football? Since 2000, Duke has had 1 player taken in the NFL draft--a 7th rder selected 203rd in 04.

Blocked punt, touchdown. 16-0 Duke. … Cincinnati playing exactly like a team with 5 coaches left.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) December 28, 2012
Cincinnati looks like it would rather be anywhere but Belk Bowl tonight. Well, except maybe the Big East
— Brett McMurphy (@Brett_McMurphy) December 28, 2012
Still expecting Duke's defense to show up at some point and give the Bearcats a chance to get back into this game _ if they want back in.

Personal foul, belk in the back.
— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) December 28, 2012
I'm beginning to think these are also interim officials.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) December 28, 2012
I fear Ed Cunningham is going to run on the field and start pulling helmets off the players, screaming "BAD! BAD! BAD!"
— Ralph D. Russo (@ralphDrussoAP) December 28, 2012
Duke's punter just launched a #belkbomb.
— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) December 28, 2012
A punt is going to make the SportsCenter Top 10 tonight.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) December 28, 2012
I seriously thought you all were making a joke about the Belk Bowl. I didn't think that was its real name.
— Maggie Hendricks (@maggiehendricks) December 28, 2012
That was so Bielema of Cincinnati. Shrewd tactics, but not nice.
— George Schroeder (@GeorgeSchroeder) December 28, 2012
I've seen teams belk before, but those are the belkiest bunch of belks that ever belked. #belk RT @SIHolly: oh, for the love of belk
— Justin Karp (@jskarp) December 28, 2012
The Belk Bowl has been heck a lot of fun so far, with David Cutcliffe providing many of the highlights himself.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) December 28, 2012
"Oh…this old thing?" Tuberville said tugging on his lapels.
— Chip Patterson (@Chip_Patterson) December 28, 2012
@Phyltopia @Nastinchka or maybe some sort of meat version of a fruit roll up
— Phil (@Phyltopia) December 28, 2012
well that was a pleasant bit of apple-polishing of Tommy Tuberville that we could have done without.
— Colin Durant (@CGDurant) December 28, 2012
Well I'm glad we cleared that up. Turns out Tommy Tuberville is a great guy. Whew!
— ACCSports.com (@ACCSports) December 28, 2012
Those panning Tuberville's in-booth interview should be grateful for the blizzard that kept Petrino away from the Pizza Bowl.
— George Schroeder (@GeorgeSchroeder) December 28, 2012
I thought it was an auto repair shop until this fall. RT @A5thDown: Trying to explain Belk to a non-Southerner is surprisingly difficult.
— Bill Connelly (@ESPN_BillC) December 28, 2012
There should be more bowl games sponsored by stores I don't patronize. I know JoAnn's Fabrics got them racks
— Gstaad Blackledge (@loljocks_grimey) December 28, 2012
I can tell this is going to come down to who has the belk last.
— George Schroeder (@GeorgeSchroeder) December 28, 2012
Sorry I couldn't come up with more great puns in this game suffering from crippling writer's belk.
— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) December 28, 2012
Goodnight everybody. RT @TeamSpeedKills: This game is belknanas
— Bryan Fischer (@BryanDFischer) December 28, 2012
BELKZ A MAKE HER DANCE
— Gstaad Blackledge (@loljocks_grimey) December 28, 2012
And anyone else feel the urge to buy reasonably priced slacks and a sundress?

Ask not for whom the Belk tolls...
— The Gurgling Cod (@TheGurglingCod) December 28, 2012
Somewhere in the box, Tuberville is tossing off the pleather sports coat, pounding the window and trying to call timeout.
— George Schroeder (@GeorgeSchroeder) December 28, 2012
Can't let the 260-pound tight end get behind you, Duke.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) December 28, 2012
Speak of the devil: Duke's gotta Duke.
— David Ubben (@davidubben) December 28, 2012
AND THE QUARTERBELK IS TOAST
— Gstaad Blackledge (@loljocks_grimey) December 28, 2012
Remember 5 seconds ago when Duke was on the verge of the winning FG? They do, too.
— George Schroeder (@GeorgeSchroeder) December 28, 2012
And that's a belkdoor cover right there by Cincinnati.
— David Wunderlich (@Year2) December 28, 2012
Cincinnati last 6 years: 10-3, 10-3, 4-8, 12-1, 11-3, 10-3. And still stuck in conference realignment no man's land.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) December 28, 2012
Many years from now when people speak of bad beats, let them speak of the Belk Bowl first.
