Bowl Game Blowout! Part IV
Please, kill me now.
Insight Bowl
Who (is playing)? Texas Tech Red Raiders (7-5) vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers (6-6).
Where (are they playing)? Tempe, Arizona.
When (is it all going down)? December 29, 7:30 PM on NFL Network.
First thoughts: God I hope Mike Leach doesn’t go to Stanford.
Why (should you watch)? Because it’ll be nice to watch the Red Raiders tear up a team other than our heroes.
Champs Sports Bowl
Who (is playing)? Purdue Boilermakers (8-5) vs. Maryland Terrapins (8-4).
Where (are they playing)? Orlando.
When (is it all going down)? December 29, 8 PM on ESPN.
First thoughts: Does anything else instinctively think of the chicken and that bald spokesperson guy when you hear something about Purdue?
Why (should you watch)? Because you don’t get NFL Network. No one does.
Meineke Car Care Bowl
Who (is playing)? Navy Midshipmen (9-3) vs. Boston College Golden Eagles (9-3).
Where (are they playing)? Charlotte.
When (is it all going down)? December 30, 1 PM on ESPN.
First thoughts: Don’t ask, don’t tell.
Why (should you watch)? Because the option, when run well, is extremely fun to watch. Except when it’s against your team.
Alamo Bowl
Who (is playing)? Texas Longhorns (9-3) vs. Iowa Hawkeyes (6-6).
Where (are they playing)? San Antonio.
When (is it all going down)? December 30, 4:30 PM on ESPN.
First thoughts: Good lord, soldier, only queers and steers come from Texas!
Why (should you watch)? Because you already pray with your heart and soul for Mack Brown to fail at everything in life. Though I do have to admit I’m a Vince Young fan now.
Chick-fil-A Bowl
Who (is playing)? Georgia Bulldogs (8-4) vs. Virginia Tech Hokies (10-2).
Where (are they playing)? Atlanta.
When (is it all going down)? December 30, 8 PM on ESPN.
First thoughts: Seriously. Some of these bowl names are ridiculous.
Why (should you watch)? To watch the SEC get embarassed. Christ, I hate them. We have the best teams in college football and all our teams are great and everyone else sucks and blah blah blah STFU. How the hell can you say that when they don’t beat anyone outside the conference, besides, uh, well…(crickets)…anyway, I mean, seriously. Arkansas got crushed by USC and I don’t think any of the other teams even played anyone else. It’s like a group of brothers fighting amongst themselves (and no one else), then declaring they’re the toughest family in the world because they beat up on each other. That sounds like something a bunch of hicks would do. Just like calling their college football conference the best in the country.
I don’t know how many are left. This is never going to end.
32 total bowls. Ridiculous. It doesn’t seem like that many until you actually sit down and examine each one, notice how many involve a crappy 7-5 team playing an even crappier 6-6 team in a city you have no interest in visiting, and then try and write something interesting about each one.
Fortunately for you, most of the rest of the bowls you haven’t written about are interesting. Except the International Bowl in Toronto. Who thought THAT was a good idea?
