Friday Bowlapoolooza




Now it starts getting hectic.  Tomorrow we have three four bowls.  And the race is wide open.  Remember this pool really doesn't start until we start getting to the multiple bowl days like tomorrow, so my hot start is a mirage.  Pretty much everyone is still in this thing. 

We start with more military themed bowls.  Armed Forces features Tulsa and BYU.  Evangelicals v. Mormons.  Just like the Republican primary! Actually Tulsa is probably a state school, but have you ever been to Tulsa? 

Pinstripe Bowl is played in the new Yankee Stadium.  Rutgers is the state school of New Jersey just off of Exit 134.  Iowa State is located in Ames, Iowa, just past Farmer Robertson's corn field.  Should be fun.

The Music City Bowl features Mississippi State and Wake Forest.  I like Wake's uniforms.  My greatest bowl moment came when Texas played Mississippi State in the Cotton Bowl during Ricky Williams' Heisman season.  I caught an extra point!  Should have run out of the stadium with that football.  I threw it back instead.  What a goodie-goodie.  I blame my parents (sorry Mom).

By the way, are you watching the Alamo Bowl?  I should have gone.  It's unreal.  It's like a video game, but it has absolutely the worst color analyst ever.  Man ESPN's coverage has been absolutely awful.  If I have to listen to that theme song they are using for all these games I'm going to have wash out my ears with acid.  Anyway, the game is an incredible offensive show. 

The Insight Bowl has the best logo.  I love it.  The game features oklahoma.  I hate them.  They play another corn school - Iowa.  Bob Stoops should be wanted by the police and arrested for over-the-top arrogance.

Have fun.  Enjoy the bowls.  I'll see you on the blog later.
