    Well, the Big Ten gets its first bowl win of the season with a Wisconsin upset over #14 Colorado in the Alamo Bowl, 31-28 in overtime. Yee-haw! Go Big Ten!

    Confound it! I was doing so good in the ESPN Bowl Pick'em until then, too - only missing Tulane's upset in the Hawaii bowl.

      What, nobody's watching any bowl games?

      So far a disappointingly lopsided Rose Bowl with Oklahoma beating Washington State 27-7 with five minutes remaining in the 4th. The Big Ten's done pretty well so far though at 4-1. Disappointing loss by Penn State to Auburn in the Citrus Bowl. My brother's supposed to be at the Sugar Bowl tonight so I'll be watching for him.

        Who's your pick for the Cereal Bowl? I think Cornflakes have a good chance this year if their QB doesn't go soggy on them again.

          Actually, I'm kinda pulling for Trix this year. That poor rabbit is due for an upset.

            My early pick was Lucky Charms, but after that damn Leprechaun stole their best Running Back it was always gonna be tough for them to generate any yardage on the ground. When they came up against the great defensive line of Muesli (those nuts really fill up the gaps) it was all over.

              Michigan-Florida easily the best New Year's game thus far. Big Ten certainly kicking ass this year..

                Woo! Opening kickoff of the Orange Bowl: Iowa runs it back 100 yards for the TD. Let's go Hawkeyes!

                  That'll unnerve all those arguing that USC is the best team in the nation, hopefully.

                  Yesterday's BCS games both stunk (ok, perhaps Ga-FSU was OK). Hopefully the Orange will be a good one. The Fiesty Bowl looks like a blowout in the making.

                    Good game so far. Tied 10-10 at the half.

                      'SC looks like they're about to pull away... 'Eyes haven't done anything at all offensively. Palmer is making the Heisman people look smart, Banks is making them feel relieved!

                        Gah! USC is running away with it now, 31-10 early 4th quarter. Why can't I see a decent bowl game?!

                          Decent bowl games, quite often involve miraculous comebacks.

                          But 90% of the time, it's the Holiday Bowl that produces them.

                          ACK!

                            Well, ok, I take it back. Wisconsin's upset of Colorado was a great game.

                              Tomorrow's will be decent.

                              If you like Miami and are sadistic.
