I just got through my knee jerk reactions. Now I will sleep on them and then I will post.

"One of the reasons why propaganda tries to get you to hate government is because it's the one existing institution in which people can participate to some extent and constrain tyrannical unaccountable power." Noam Chomsky.

Each day of a bowl game I'll try to post something. Talking about it makes it more interesting. College football only has 3 more weeks to it.

Probably watch Oregon vs Boise State. With Willie Taggart leaving Oregon and leaving Mario Cristobal behind to coach will be interesting. Pulling for Boise State though.

Todays games:

Saturday, December 16

North Texas vs. Troy, 1 p.m., ESPN
Georgia State vs. Western Kentucky, 2:30 p.m, CBS Sports Network
Boise State vs. Oregon, 3:30 p.m., ABC
Colorado State vs. Marshall, 4:30 p.m., ESPN
Arkansas State vs. Middle Tennessee State, 8 p.m., ESPN

For Gator fans, Steve Spurrier will be at today's Cure Bowl cheering on his son as QB coach for Western Kentucky.

I'm 3-2 on picks for first day.

Thought Arkansas state would win, score looks close. Also, though WKU would win. Didn't watch either games.

Boise State looked pretty good. Oregon tried to make it a game but Boise had too many playmakers.
Watched Mashall-Col-state also. That was a pretty good game. Close one, could have gone either way.

Saturday results:

Boise State 38 Oregon 28
Troy 50 N.Texas 20
Georgia State 27 WKU 17
Marshall 31 Colorado Sate 28
Mid Tenn State 35 Ark-state 30

Your taking the cheese heads over the turn overchain....?

Miami will not lose to wisconsin at home.

The canes are underdogs in this game. I've watched Wisconsin play a few times this year. they are a pretty good team. Great defense. It will be interesting. They are coming off a close loss to Ohio State. Miami lost last couple games. Game is in Miami, so advantage them. But, Wisconsin has something to prove. That is why I chose them.

Bad start for me 1-4....

I pity those cheese people. We lost to them last time we played them in the Orlando Fruit or camp bowl or whatever. Worst crappy field ever.

We have the old orange bowl mojo back.

Ticket prices are ridiculous. I will not be in attendance.

Game tonight. Lane Kiffin vs Terry Bowden. I picked Akron to win only because I'm thinking a MAC team is better than C-USA although FAU was on a tear this year. And its a home game for FAU. Why would I pick Akron? who knows. Rolling the dice with it though. Go Zips!

Tuesday, Dec. 19
Boca Raton Bowl
FAU vs. Akron, 7 p.m., ESPN

Lane Kiffin gets 10-year deal after first 10-win season in FAU history
http://www.espn.com/college-fo...reach-new-10-year-deal

FAU 50 Akron 3 final. There goes my theory. Glad there are no casinos for me to be on....LOL

I'm 3-3 now.

SMU is getting spanked by LaTech thus, I'm dropping to 3-4

Ohio beat UAB, Wyoming beat Central Michigan.

That makes me 4-5

USF Bulls play Texas Tech today at Noon. Tune in and see QB Quinton Flowers last game. He is really good.

Quinton Flowers MVP in that game. Single handedly beat Texas Tech.

Army won.

Was good to see the male cows learn from both losses!

1) didn't kick off to the star in the last minute of the game
2) didn't let a jump ball beat them on the last play

If USF knew how to tackle this season could have been unreal. As it ended up - Flowers really reached his potential in the bowl game and that was cool to see. Really happy for another step of making legit progress and not folding up on the big stage. Proud Bulls fan here!

Hey, just checking on this. Was it supposed to be pick the losers? Yea I thought so. Thanks

Kinda an odd bowl season this year without a lot of good games

I would be lucky to be much over .500 at this point.
