Three Bowl Monday - Goodbye Mack Brown, Enjoy Your Million Dollar a Year Parachute

We have three bowls on Monday. (There is another one but it did not make the cut - but, Go Navy!)

I love Georgia Tech's offense but they don't play in the SEC and Ole Miss does. I saw personally Ole Miss stage a second half comeback against my Longhorns in Austin. After the game I was stuck in traffic just south of the stadium on MLK Street. A guy knocked on my car door. I rolled down the window. In a Mississippi drawl he asked if I could give a ride to his friend and their wives for forty bucks. It was my first experience as a taxi driver. I took them to a restaurant where they were meeting fellow Mississippi alums to get even more drunk than they already were. Good times. By the way, the guy tipped me an extra dollar because of the ineptitude of Mack Brown. Thanks Mack!

The Alamo Bowl features my Longhorns versus the Oregon Ducks. We lovingly (not really) refer to our soon to be departed coach as Clappin' Mack. It will be his last game guiding the burnt orange and white. He made the mistake three years ago of telling the big money longhorns that he would get back to a BCS bowl game this year. He did not. Now he has been forced into retirement. All sorts of crap going down at UT. Mainly, because we have a corrupt Republican governor trying to turn his alma mater Texas A&M and the flagship University of Texas into online diploma mills. The resulting political melee has claimed its first victim in Austin - our overpaid football coach. We have no chance in this game. The Ducks from Oregon are top ten caliber and should have played Bama in the Sugar Bowl instead of the Sooners of Oklahoma. Nike owns Oregon and they have developed an impressive program. Should be a massacre. ESPN predicts a 22 point blow out for Nike.

The Holiday Bowl is usually awesome but

Arizona State should kill Texas Tech. The Red Raiders are overrated. They just lost a QB who played most of their games to a transfer (he was a walk-on from Austin and I don't think they offered him the full ride he was expecting). ASU has had a resurgence and should win. Analicia's second choice. If she had gone there, I might be in San Diego right now. ANA!!! What were you thinking? They don't play football at Wellesley! Vegas has the Sun Devils as a fourteen point favorite. Too bad Lubbock.
