Going Bowling...

As I sat to drink my morning coffee, I took a quick look at what bowl games were coming up in the next few days. I perused the list, and two things struck me like a shot of tequila with mayonnaise in it (in other words, not good).

First, there are some just HORRIBLE bowl games. I mean, is anyone really pumped about tonight's match-up between Northern Illinois and Louisiana Tech? Or, how about Rice and Western Michigan? Even the games that include teams you've heard of aren't interesting. Kansas/Minnesota, South Carolina/Iowa, are these games we really care about?

The other thing that really bothers me is that there are only FIVE bowl games on New Year's
Day. FIVE! There used to be about 11. The Cotton Bowl isn't even on January 1 anymore. I mean, seriously. What good does it do me to have three television sets if there's only one game on at a time?

I know one thing though, I sure am glad Kentucky v. East Carolina is a January 2 bowl game. If the entire nation didn't get to see that gem of a game, what would we all do for fun?

I finally read your blog. I have been sitting in a hospital room for a week and finally found something to do. As for bowl games, I don't remember who played in what much less any scores. I do, however, want to forget who won the national championship! It is the middle of July and Tiger Woods and Damon Evans with a pair of red panties is all the sports I need.
