- Little Caesars Bowl- Marshall vs. Ohio University (-1.5). A Thundering Herd vs. a Bobcat. Seems a bit of a mismatch. Be not hasty, ye' unbelievers! Ohio is coached by former Nebraska head man Frank Solich. Marshall, up until yesterday, had no coach as they fired their head honcho. So you're going to a bowl game in a year in which you fired your coach. Either 1) your standard of success is ridiculous (see Florida Sugar Bowl ticket sales), or 2) there are way too many bowl games. The latter for $200, Alex. Marshal did hire West Virginia John "Doc" Holliday as their new head man. The cache he would have for lobbing Tombstone quotes at opponents during press conferences makes me giddy. "Why Frank Solich, you look like someone walked across your grave". Spectacular. We're going to base our pick on the fact that Romeo's wife is an Ohio U. alum & we think she kicks ass. So take the Bobcats. "You're a daisy if you do..." But all bets are off once Doc comes on board at Marshall...
An inspired hire by Marshall..."I'm your huckleberry...."
- Meineke Car Care Bowl - #17 Pittsburgh (-2.5) vs. UNC. One of the more competitive games on the slate this bowl season. Might want to play this as part of a six team, super-teaser parlay. Add the wire wheel kit to the back to be the flyest guy in town. Pitt freshman RB Deion Lewis is a special player. UNC has a great defense. Pitt has the Wannstache. It's basically a home game for the Heels. We'd stay away from this with real money but since we're playing with house cash take UNC & the points.
The Wannstache is a powerful force to be reckoned with....
- Emerald Bowl - Boston College vs. #24 USC (-8.5). How the mighty have fallen. USC has descended to the plain of us mere mortals & is playing in a meaningless bowl. Boston College's offense is inept along the lines of the Bush White House or Frank's spelling prowess. Our "Stone Cold, Bet the Farm, Lock of the Bowl Season". We'd give 14 if necessary. USC in an ass whoopin'....
The Song Girls....Has any group done more for the fuzzy sweater.....?
- Music City Bowl - Kentucky vs. Clemson (-6.5). A battle of academic titans.....Sorry, wrong game. An offensive coordinator named Joker vs. a creature named Dabo. Something has to give. Somewhat compelling in that whole ACC vs. SEC "we're neighbors that want to out-do each other" sort of way. Giant Blow-up Santas & inflatible Snow Globes in both teams futures? Clemson has C.J. Spiller. Kentucky has.....? Tigers in Nashville....
We'll ride this guy & give the points....
- Independence Bowl - Texas A&M vs. Georgie (-6.5). Beautiful downtown Shreveport. Is there anywhere you'd rather be? Texas A&M is a great opportunity for a good, young coach. Mike Sherman is neither. Georgie employed the time honored "addition-through-subtraction" plan in firing Slick Willie, Fabris, & Jancek. We're sad to see you go. Pains me to say but take the Flea Bags....
We're rooting for this to hit Shreveport, LA. on December 28th, 2009
