Hey, because we know you are only slightly more excited than the programmers at ESPN, we give you...Bowl Picks.
And yeah, we know you'll read it because for the most part...none of you will actually attend any of these and thusly, your school will end up paying the bowl game more money for unused tickets than you'll actually make for playing the game. And your college kid will pay higher student fees next year to pay it off.
Yeah, that's how the bowl system works.
So here are your picks: (and yes, there are way too many games you've never heard of)
12/17--Gildan New Mexico Bowl--Really? They play a bowl game in New Mexico?

Wyoming 23
12/17--Famous Idaho Potato Bowl--Congrats, you had a good season. You get to go to Idaho.
Ohio 29

12/17--R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl--At least this game has New Orleans going for it.
San Diego State 21
La.Lafayette 27 (TLB's alma mater)
12/20--Beef O'Brady's Bowl--Bad food=bad bowl game. Hope they don't cater the press meal.

12/21--San Diego County Credit Union Poinsetta--Really? Even they sponsor a game?
TCU 38
La.Tech 12

Nevada 23
Southern Mississippi 30

12/28--Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl-- The Who..what bowl?
California 12
Texas 19
12/29--Champs Sports Bowl--At least they get a free trip to Disney World out of this. But the penalty is playing in the decrepit Citrus Bowl stadium.
