Tonight’s bowl game is like the fat kid who’s at the back of the pack when the class is running the mile in PE. The last non-BCS game was four days ago; why this bowl (which is being sponsored by GMAC- good move sponsoring this bowl, guys) is being played so late, I do...

I’ve read some articles that suggest that last night’s Fiesta Bowl was a boring game, in which neither team really played that well. Well, I’m sorry that a 17-10 game that came down to TCU’s final possession wasn’t good enough for those writers. I still think that people will look back on this game...

Yep. That’s right. That’s exactly what this game is. Look at the records: 13-0 vs. 12-0. Bitterness aside, a great game in tonight’s Fiesta Bowl is just what playoff protesters want.

Yesterday I went a respectable 3-2 picking the bowl games. I was very surprised and impressed with the two service academies, not because they won, but because they easily won. Today, due to the fact that I pulled an all-nighter and don’t have the patience to write a long post, I will be giving...

It’s official; Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach has been fired. If you haven’t heard the story about Leach, you are probably living under a rock. This story has totally shifted the focus from Urban Meyer to Leach and the Texas Tech football program, and for the next few days the media will continue...

I’ve managed to put together a considerable winning streak, with a 4-0 record picking the last four bowl games. The only problem is, almost everyone else playing the College Bowl Mania game had the exact same picks, so I’m slowly rising in the overall rankings. Today could be the day that I finally make...

I know that I said shoot me an e-mail if you wanted to hear my opinion about the Urban Meyer situation, but now I’m starting to get sick of it. The fact is, the guy will be back in 2011, if not next year. It’s not that big of a deal. Even if he...

If you don’t get the joke, just take a look at the titles of some of my previous entries. Repetition is a terrible thing in the journalistic world. Yesterday was the first day that I actually had a winning record picking the bowl games. Unfortunately, on this blog I was 1-2, because I decided...
