Cy the Cyclone Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 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. ** Eagle Bank – Wake Forest (7-5) & Navy (8-4) – Navy - Who cares? * New Mexico – Colorado State (6-6) & Fresno State (7-5) – Fresno State - Who cares? * St Petersburg – South Florida (7-5) & Memphis (6-6) – South Florida - Who cares? ** Las Vegas – BYU (10-2) & Arizona (7-5) – BYU - Mildly amusing...but...who really cares? * New Orleans – Troy (8-4) & Southern Mississippi (6-6) – Troy - Who cares? **** Poinsettia – TCU (10-2) & Boise State (12-0) – TCU - Best game to watch before the majors * Hawaii – Hawaii (7-6) & Notre Dame (6-6) – Notre Dame - Both teams suck...who cares? * Motor City – Central Michigan (8-4) & Florida Atlantic (6-6) – Central Michigan - Who cares? ** Meineke Car Care – North Carolina (8-4) & West Virginia (8-4) – North Carolina - Change the stupid name of this bowl! ** Champs Sports – Florida State (8-4) & Wisconsin (7-5) – Florida State - Wisconsin deserves a bowl?

papersun87 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 The Hawaii Bowl should be worth watching to see if Notre Dame will extend their bowl losing streak to 16 years. Edit: And you may want to be careful saying South Carolina sucks . . . we don't want to piss off our guests! Quote Link to comment

holvy83 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Can't say the overall bowl season is anything to about, but NU is in, and i know i will find myself watching most of these games because it is winter and to get the final football games in before the dreaded "off-season".

Nalow Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment
papersun87 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I have sent an email to the Chik-fil-A Bowl demanding that they change the name back to the Peach Bowl. They sent me a Chik-fil-A coupon. Quote Link to comment
