themusicaddict: Jerry Jones Playlist 2, Bowl Conference Records

Hello,

I've been mocking the Pac-12, allegedly one of the so-called Big 6 conferences, for their abysmal bowl record. They finished with a 2-5 bowl record by the way. Thanks to the Utes and Oregon for giving this conference some bowl victories. Good job Utes! Don't worry Pac 12 fans, USC will be bowl eligible next year and they know how to win bowl games. To be fair I decided to check on all the major conferences to see who lives up to their reputation as a truly quality conference. My criteria is based on actual performance not who your friends are.

The SEC has an amazing reputation, deservedly so, for being an awesome college football league. Thus I expected them to have the best bowl record. However the conference with the best bowl record is the Big 12. The Big 12 is 6-1, only Kansas is left to play their bowl. Kansas has a chance to win that game as Jake Heaps isn't trying to play quarterback for them yet.

The SEC has been decent, but haven't quite lived up to their reputation. They are 4-2 so far. Arkansas, LSU and Alabama still are to play. Obviously in a few days Alabama-LSU are playing each other in the so-called national championship game. (With Oklahoma St. winning last night I really wish there was at least a plus one.) The SEC will either finish with a 6-3 or a 5-4 bowl record.

I've mocked the Big East a lot, but so far they are a respectable 2-1 in bowl play. They still have West Virginia to play in a BCS Bowl and somehow mediocre Pittsburgh got a bowl invite. Again it seems there are at least 3 too many bowls. The qualifications to make a bowl should be much higher than just 6 wins. I would suggest you should have to win at least 75% of your games.

The Big-10 is having their annual meltdown in bowl games. They are 3-6 with Michigan still left to play. Michigan will play Va. Tech tonight in the Corporate Sponsored Sugar Bowl. Note to Wisconsin, you may want to skip the Rose Bowl next year if invited. The Badgers have lost the last two Rose Bowls.

The ACC, well they are a hell of a basketball conference Go Heels!, is 2-4 in bowl play. Va. Tech and Clemson are still left to play. They'll probably finish with about a 3-5 record. That's only noteworthy in how poorly they performed.

Finally, we know the only real football is being played in the Big 6 conferences right? Not! Conference USA is now 3-1 in bowl play with SMU still to play. Also the disrespected Boise State Broncos easily defeated one of those supposed superior BCS teams when they whipped Arizona State 56-24. Baylor not only beat a BCS school, but scored 67 points on them.

There have been a bunch of changes in NFL teams so far. Raheem Morris was fired after 3 seasons at Tampa Bay. If you lose 10 games in a row, how do you not fire your coach? Ten straight losses sounds like you've lost your team's attention. The most surprising development has been Norv Turner is going to keep his job for at least another year in San Diego. Really? Turner is 49-31 as San Diego's coach, but only 3-3 in the playoffs. I'm also surprised that the "Dream Team" kept Andy Reid for another year. Why wouldn't you keep a coach you just finished a 8-8 season? Dallas is. Reid is 136-90-1 in his career.

The NFL news that surprised me the least is that Jerry Jones plans on staying as the GM of the Dallas Cowboys. I was already working on Jerry Jones playlist 2 when that news came. See below for more songs for my Jerry Jones 2 playlist. As with any story at espn.com, fans can leave comments. As one would expect, the comments are less than favorable to Jerry Jones. Usually when a story is published, there seem to be comments for and against. However of the several comments made, not one of them was a plea for Jerry to stay as the Cowboys GM. It seems the only one that wants Jerry as GM is Jerry. Meanwhile the Cowboys will continue to be mediocre and flounder. There's a reason the Cowboys have only been in one playoff in the last 4 years. With how things are looking, the playoffs look like a long shot for the Cowboys next season as well.

It's clear the king has no clothes, where's the small child to point this out to him. I didn't realize there was a song written for Jerry Jones, and other egomaniacs, until I read the lyrics of this song:

The following song contains the truthful line: "Just because I'm wrong don't make you right." This is needtobreathe's "The Outsiders":

This is one thing I'm sick of having after 15 years of spectacular failures:

Jerry, not only would I like you to be gone, but please also kiss off.

"Blister In The Sun":

And this song has nothing to do with Jerry Jones, I just love this song. "American Music":

I don't know anything about Jerry Jones, other than he has some narcissistic tendencies. However I have three words to describe what kind of GM he is:

I'll close out with some Smiths songs, they seem appropriate for Jerry Jones.

"Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" This song contains one of my all-time favorite lines "I was looking for a job and then I found a job. And heaven knows that I'm miserable now."
