Invent a meaningless college bowl game
Edited on Sun Dec-02-07 08:45 AM by pstokely
The Toilet Bowl (corporate sponsor Kohler), held in Fresno at 1am and broadcast on the NFL Network
Nebraska and Notre Dame could play in this

The Cupcake Bowl (corporate sponsor Hostess), Mark Mangino's Jayhawks play an even weaker team

The Dog Water Bowl
The Spoiled Fruit Bowl- USC can play in this

21. There used to be the Lettuce Bowl
It was hosted by Hartnell College in Salinas ("the salad bowl of the world") and was the mythical junior college championship of the state. I think the last one must've been played in the late '60s.

My dad took me once, in 1964 or '65, when Hartnell played Fresno City. Hartnell had then a fullback named Rocky Thompson who went on to a brief career with the New York Giants.

6. I promise not to bitch when UGA gets left out of the championship game this year

11. This year, it'll be the BCS title game
It'll be a great game, convincingly won by LSU, but I doubt that 'national title' bit will carry much weight in a lot of circles...

12. Almost any of them unless your team's in it.
I don't look down on KU's schedule that much. Heck, teams like Nebraska made a living off scheduling cupcakes in years past.

18. If it weren't for meaningless bowls
You'd never get the SEC to play out of conference games that weren't in their home stadium.

That's gotta count for something.
