What I did on my Winter baycation

By Josh ⋅ December 21, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Someone around here, probably Johnny 3 Toes (maybe me), got the bright-ass idea of covering all of the 2005 NCAA bowl games. Sounded like a swell idea when we were drinking about it, but I hadn’t taken a hard look at every bowl game in a very long time. With good reason, as it turns […]

Gambling with Johnny: Bowling Bonanza #2

By oddSeth ⋅ December 21, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Record so far picking bowl games: 0-1
A big hearty thanks goes out from this 3 toed degenerate gambler to the Arkansas State Indians. Thanks for making me look stupid and putting me in an early hole by being just as bad as advertised but managing to only lose by 12, preventing Southern Miss from covering. […]

One Bowl Down, 27 — Holy Shit! 27?!? — to Go

By Peter ⋅ December 21, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Stop crying, Brett. Your Southern Miss Golden Eagles made up for a horrible season by winning the first bowl game of the year. USM knocked off a tougher-than-expected Arkansas State program 31-19. Sorry, Mr. 3 Toes, but that means the Indians covered the spread.
You can make up for it with tomorrow’s GMAC Bowl, when […]

Gambling with Johnny: Bowling Bonanza

I hope you degenerates have been doing well without me, as this three-toed man has been busy of late. But now I’m back, with a vengeance, ready to hold your grubby little gambling hands all the way through the entire college bowl season.
That’s right. 28 bowl games, 28 picks. Because I love you, that’s why, […]

Let the Bowling Begin

That’s right, kiddos. The 2005-06 College Bowl season gets underway tonight, with the titatnic battle at the New Orleans Bowl between the Arkansas St. Indians and the Southern Miss Golden Eagles at 8:00 PM EST.

Gary Barnett Reign Officially Over: CU Fans and Women’s Rights Advocates Rejoice

By oddSeth ⋅ December 9, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

It takes an awfully odd series of events to unite CU football fans and women’s rights advocates, but Gary Barnett finally getting the heave ho as Colorado head football coach may have just done the trick.
Barnett’s seven year reign at CU finally ended on Thursday, when he stepped down as head football coach. He […]

Breaking Down the Bowls: On the Value of a Good Nickname

By oddSeth ⋅ December 7, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

While we don’t quite have A-Z representation in the nicknames of teams involved in bowls for the 2005-06 season, we do have Badgers to Zips.
If you’re looking to jazz up your team with a new nickname, hoping to cash in on some of the nomenclatural magic that propelled teams to success this year, here […]

Not that They’re Defensive or Anything

By Peter ⋅ December 6, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

oddSeth and his snark show no respect for bowl games based in Fort Worth. It’s terrible, really, the way he dismisses the mere idea. For there’s another Fort Worth Bowl this year — not really the same thing, just a new game with the same name. (No need to reinvent the wheel, as they say, […]

Dearly Departed Bowls

By oddSeth ⋅ December 6, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

As we ramp up the college bowl coverage here on the snark, it’s important that we all take a collective moment of silence and honor some of the dead brethren bowls who have fallen by the wayside and are no longer with us.
Without their years of duty and noble sacrifices we might all have […]

Tennessee Forced to Turn to Other Round, Open-Topped Vessels

By oddSeth ⋅ December 6, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Quiz time. What were the top 10 Billboard songs the last year the Tennesee Volunteers weren’t in a bowl game?
1 LOOK AWAY, Chicago
2 MY PREROGATIVE, Bobby Brown
3 EVERY ROSE HAS ITS THORN, Poison
4 STRAIGHT UP, Paula Abdul
5 MISS YOU MUCH, Janet Jackson
6 […]
