Twitter roundup: Holiday Bowl Laff Riot

The story of one college football postseason contest, as told through social media.

You're being optimistic RT @edsbs: Holiday Bowl doesn't come on until 9:45 ET & w/Baylor playing should end around 3 a.m.

But on a serious note, the Big Ten refers to the amount of points that'll be scored in the Holiday Bowl as "October."

The pattern on the shoulders of Baylor's uniform is a wing. A wing of a bear.

As good as this Baylor offense is, it really gets slowed down when Nick Florence can't successfully get the snap.
— David Ubben (@davidubben) December 28, 2012

Two punts in the first two possessions for the Holiday Bowl. I think that hit the over already.
— Bryan Fischer (@BryanDFischer) December 28, 2012

Baylor just anticipated and tipped a UCLA checkdown. THEY'VE FIGURED IT OUT ALREADY

UCLA goes for it on 4th-and-18. This is the Holiday Bowl I signed up for.

Every time I see a UCLA game, I weep for the atrocities adidas has committed upon them.

Not surprised Baylor's lighting up UCLA D, but stunned Bruin O struggling like this: 0-4 on 3rd downs.

Think it was Bear Bryant who said, "Hey, if you're going to go for it on 4th-and-18, make sure to only throw it five yards downfield."
— David Ubben (@davidubben) December 28, 2012

Really unsporting to schedule the Holiday Bowl after UCLA's offense has already gone into hibernation for the winter.
— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) December 28, 2012

As Kansas State learned, Baylor's defense can make you feel like the game is still in reach. And then the offense takes the field.
— David Ubben (@davidubben) December 28, 2012

Was there no film available on Baylor? I know this offense is really tough to defend, but UCLA could not be doing a much worse job.
— Ralph D. Russo (@ralphDrussoAP) December 28, 2012

Bill Snyder nods solemnly. Tosses more eye of newt in the cauldron.

Glad someone finally got Rece Davis to host a Reese's halftime show.
— Ryan Hudson (@ry_hudson) December 28, 2012

"Baylor is making a statement" ...true... Then again, so is UCLA.
— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) December 28, 2012

Just a gentle reminder that this Baylor team finished with a losing record in Big 12 play. This league is hard, y'all.
— Patrick Southern (@patricksouthern) December 28, 2012

Nick Florence is Abercrombie Mose Schrute.
— The Solid Verbal College Football Podcast (@SolidVerbal) December 28, 2012

Baylor, 112th in the country in sacks with 13 on the season, has 5 sacks in 1st half vs. UCLA.
— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) December 28, 2012

You know how your team has a good coach? When it loses a talent like RG3 and doesn't miss a step on offense. #briles
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) December 28, 2012

Is UCLA using a medicine ball on offense?
— DD (@BarkingCarnival) December 28, 2012

Hope Mora sends that unused timeout to a good home. Should've used that instead of first-down spike.
— Pat Forde (@ByPatForde) December 28, 2012

Not to be outdone by rival USC, UCLA shows up 90 minutes late for Holiday Bowl
— Brett McMurphy (@Brett_McMurphy) December 28, 2012

Jim Mora is humming about how he'll write a postcard to his friends and family in free verse. #weezerintheheadset #holidaybowl

Lache Seastrunk with the rarely-seen pity fumble.
— Colin Durant (@CGDurant) December 28, 2012

PUNTER WITH THE FORM TACKLE
— Vico (@ourhonordefend) December 28, 2012

That touchdown should be disallowed if only because this game shouldn't be allowed to appear to be this close.
— Colin Durant (@CGDurant) December 28, 2012

GO FOR TWO
— Team Speed Kills (@TeamSpeedKills) December 28, 2012

Not sure what's more hilarious, UCLA trying to score in the final seconds, or Art Briles challenging to take it off the board.
— David Ubben (@davidubben) December 28, 2012

I think I can go to sleep knowing who is the Ursa Major in this game.
