Bowl games bowl games bowl games. Yep it's college bowl season. Yet again I'm participating in a bowl pool again. I won't bore you guys with those details every day like I tried to last year. However, going over my picks again I'm wondering if I was smart to place all of my hopes and points on Illinois to win the spread in the Rose Bowl. I'm ( Read more... )

I am so not in the mood for posting up a little lesson connected with Saturday's bowl games. There is a lesson to be learned today but it's late and I'm tired and I don't really feel up to posting one. Not only that but the way two of the games went today I got totally screwed over. I will say this though, I scream at the TV just like my brother ( Read more... )

Yet another bowl game update and finally I can teach you all that just because the favored team wins the game doesn't mean you win the points. Five games on Friday and I won only two of them. Sure the Big Ten doesn't do too well in bowl games but deciding which Big Ten team is going to stink is the hard part. I picked the wrong Big Ten team to ( Read more... )

Five bowl games today and so far I've missed one game. It's hard trying to keep up with these games. At least the games I'm watching now have been around for thirty years or more. They're not one of those "Well shoot now that there's this BCS thing going on we need more bowl games for teams to play in" games. These are games that my dad has ( Read more... )

Update time from me. I know it's kind of late but here it is. Remember how I said in one of my prior updates that the bowl game outcomes all boil down to how each team is playing that very day. Well tonight proved it perfectly. Case in point, the Emerald Bowl sponsered by the people behind the "Envious Nomads love Emerald Nuts" commercials. ( Read more... )

First, we'll get the bad news out of the way. Tonight was the Hawaii Bowl and unlike yesterday this was one time when it was very wise to take the home team. Like the yutz I am I thought hey maybe Aizona St. can actually win the spread game. They didn't have to win the game just prevent Hawaii from winning by eight points. Boy was I wrong ( Read more... )

I bet you're getting tired of me talking about this aren't you? Well tough cookies on you friends list. Just kidding there. You have until January 7th to put up with the nightly recaps. After that, it'll be all over with. Anyhoo, Satuday was a tripple header of bowl games all of them stinky little insignificant bowl games that do nothing but ( Read more... )

Third bowl game is over with and I didn't quite pick the right team. Sometimes the favored team does well and sometimes, like tonight, they suck royally. As with the NFL playoffs, it's all about how the two teams are doing at that very moment in time. I had Rice to win the spread with 24 points on the game. The final score ended up being Troy ( Read more... )

Okay, the BYU game is over with and BYU came through for me big time. The final score ended up being 38-8 with BYU over Oregon. I had 32 points in the last game and 16 points in this game. As it stands, I am currently in second place with 48 points over all. I'm down by one point and I really need Rice to come through for me tomorrow night so I ( Read more... )
