Bowling for the Holidays

Everyone excited for all the bowl games coming up this year???  You know...all those games that are so relevant to the culture of college football.  What on Earth would our Saturday be without the New Mexico Bowl featuring BYU against UTEP?  Or perhaps you are more excited for the uDrove Humanitarian Bowl pitting Fresno State against Northern Illinois...no??  Then surely you will be glued to your television for the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl to watch Ohio battle Troy.  What a joke these games are. If I hear one more time about the tradition and sanctity of the bowl games from some smug BCS guy I might puke.  In no way would having a playoff take anything away from these games...they already mean ZERO.  The only people that care are the players, parents of players and bettors.  No more, no less.  Those same people would care if this game existed as a lead up to a playoff.  And as a sidenote, a playoff system I support this year would have had Boise State in a first round match up against Ohio State.  How great would that of been to see after the Big Geek Gordon Gee opened his mouth.  There will be more to come at a later date with the details of my preferred playoff system.  But for now, not only are we stuck with a ridiculous number of crappy bowl games, we also have to put up with the collusion of a few power brokers that want to keep lining their pockets. 

Doing awful on picks recently, three games under .500.  Here is what I will be doing with these awful bowl games...betting against the MAC.  Their bowl history is terrible and no reason to think it's gonna change this year.  And speaking of the MAC...how the hell did Al Golden get the job at Miami???  This is Miami of Florida, not Ohio, that hired him.  As a casual supporter of Florida State I say thank you.  But enough of that, I am traveling for the holidays but will try to keep up here, but if not...bet against the MAC every game they are involved in, but remember to never bet what you cant afford to lose.
