Cy's Quick Guide To The Bowl Games


Recommended Posts

To make your Football Bowl Season more enjoyable, I have provided you with the list of bowl games and rated them for your viewing pleasure (* = Totally Blows, Don’t Bother Wasting Your Time - ***** = Can’t Miss Football TV). For those who do not wish to watch all the games, I have pre-determined the winners for your convenience. Also, bowl games that are totally meaningless and should be done away with are listed in italics…teams that have no right being in a bowl game (of those remaining) are also marked in italics.

Bowl names bother me.

I know sponsorship is important, but GIVE ME A BREAK.

 

San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. (are you fing serious?)

 

Why don't they say: "Poinsettia Bowl" sponsored by San Diego County Credit Union?

 

It would be a lot less gay IMO. :dumdum
