College Football Bowls!

Hello,

I'll be cheering for you Kansas City on Sunday as you take on the extremely lame Broncos and the over hyped Tim Tebow. It's more likely that I'll watch that game than the Dallas-New York game. I don't expect much from the Cowboys. Even if they made the playoffs, they would probably get blown out in the first round. When asked about Jerry Jones staying the Cowboys GM if they don't make the playoffs, he said he probably would. The arrogance of Jerry Jones continues unabated. Jones wants his teams to be Super Bowl contenders, but he won't give up the GM job. That means that the 15 years of mediocrity will continue. I would think that Jones would want the best chance of winning the Super Bowl, if he does he needs to quit as GM.

Auburn Tigers, the darling of NCAA Football last season, crashed back to reality. When the Tigers were forced to play by the rules, they crashed back to mediocrity. With Cheating Cam going to the pros, the Tigers finished the regular season 7-5. They'll play the Virginia Cavaliers on Saturday night in the Corporate Sponsor Bowl. Go Cavaliers!

Speaking of boring SEC teams, I'm excitedly not looking towards the Alabama-LSU rematch. I'd love for that game to finish 3-0. Could this be the most boring national title game ever?

Now a game that will be anything but boring is tomorrow's early afternoon battle between BYU and Tulsa. These are two evenly matched teams with both having relatively weak defenses. BYU has played a bunch of cupcakes this season, who knows how good they'll look tomorrow. The Golden Hurricanes give up a lot of points but also score a lot of points. There will probably be more points scored in a quarter than in a whole game of LSU-Auburn.

While I'm sick of hearing about the SEC, they do deserve all the praise they get. This league truly has a lot of good teams, although it would be nice to see another conference win the national title next season. With Matt Barkley coming back to USC, it would be nice to see the Trojans win the national title again.

However two of the alleged Big 6 conferences are showing their true colors. First of all the Big East, they just need to change their name to the pansy conference. They are being exposed and will continue to be so in this bowl season. The Big East is 0-1 so far in bowl play and won't break .500 in the 5 bowls they play in. Other than the one BCS bowl they are contractually guaranteed to play in, they play in 4 mediocre bowls. Both the Big East teams and the opponents they play are barely worthy to be in any bowl.

Another conference that's much hyped is the Pac 12. They'll be lucky, not good, to get at least two bowl victories in their 7 bowl games. The Pac 12 is so far 0-2 in bowl games and Washington will probably lose to Baylor and Heisman winner Robert Griffin 3 tonight. The fact that the Pac 12 should only be favored in one of their bowls speaks volumes. Obviously the first thing it says is that their are too many bowl games. Seriously when a 6-7 UCLA team qualifies for a bowl game, that's terrible.

Here are a couple of songs for you:

New Found Glory's "Summer Fling, Don't Mean A Thing":


I love how this song builds slowly and then starts to kick butt. Depeche Mode's "A Pain I'm Use To":
