Nice to see Kent State get their first ever bowl win, and to get it under former Badger Sean Lewis is even better. Even mo better is that they beat Gerrie Andersen's USU team.
He was an underclassman on the roster my freshman year. Christ that makes me feel old.

It's too bad he stylistically couldn't be a future UW coach. Thankfully we got Jimmy for that. UW's coaching mafia from that era is getting a big deep.

Saturday Part Deux

3:30, Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl, SMU v. FAU, ABC

In contrast to the Cure Bowl, the Boca Raton bowl makes no bones.  Usually the bowl games have a mission section where they will cure cancer and help at risk youths.  The Boca Roton Bowl's mission is more or less to put on a bowl game.  It's sponsored by cheribundi, which I've never heard of but is apparently a tart cherry juice that helps you sleep.  I'm telling you, we could sponsor a bowl game.  Anyways, the game could be fun.  Both teams can throw the long ball and don't believe in a lot of defense, so we should get some points on the board.  Lane Kiffin is gone for FAU and Willie Taggart is coming, but neither will coach today.  Too bad.  

5:30, Camellia Bowl, FIU v. Arkansas State, ESPN

Another "ESPN Event," the Camellia Bowl is special in that Camellia is not in fact the name of an auto body shop or special plum juice, but is just the name of a the state flower of Alabama.  That's almost quaint.  Maybe this is the one - the Chili Bean Camellia Bowl presented by ELA.  Fellas, we can do this.  Anyway, FIU went 3-5 in Conference USA but beat the Miami Hurricanes to become bowl eligible.  They play a little defense, though Arkansas State loves to throw.  Also, OSU-Kentucky play at this same time in basketball if you want something good to watch.

7:30, Mitsubishi Motors Las Vegas Bowl, Washington v. Boise State, ABC

Well how about this.  Two very good teams - Washington was 17th in SP+, and Boise went 12-1.  Chris Petersen's last game, against his old squad.  And a sponsor I've actually heard of.  Though, does anyone actually drive a Mitsubishi?  Trying to think and I've never owned one and not sure I've even been inside one.  Maybe I'll have a change of heart after watching this bowl game.  

9 pm, R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, Appalachian State v. UAB, ESPN

Michigan fans will be tuning in to this one, as their old rivals square off against defensively strong UAB.  New Orleans is an absolute great place to go for a bowl game.   When I watched OSU gets stomped by LSU in 2008, we had a great time until the second quarter of the game.  There's nothing like hitting the bar, grabbing a beer, then just walking out the bar into the street.  Then you go to a football game.  Then you get drunk after watching your team lose.  So awesome.  Also, Appy State has lost two head coaches in two years.

Ballsy move by SMU to put Hayden Fry patches on their jerseys after firing him for being unwilling to cheat.

That was a VERY questionable call against UAB.  Handed Appy State 7 points.

I'll throw in $300 to sponsor a bowl game

could likely double my money with help form all youse smart guys here
Apparently, sponsoring a bowl must be a "Producers"-type situation, because no one needs to watch or attend for them to keep springing up.  Someone's making money without much of a football game occurring.


The Cure Bowl is a lovely idea and all, but it looks bad when it's so obscure that there's only a few people in the stands....looks like no one is wanting that cure for cancer.

Monday

2:30 PM, Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl, UCF v. Marshall, ESPN

The Gasparilla Bowl is named after the pirate Jose Gaspar, who didn't actually exist.  This bowl game does exist, even if no one actually watches it.  A big mismatch on paper, as UCF is 14th in SP+ and Marshall is 69th, and the line is UCF -17.5.  However, this is Marshall's fourth Gasparilla Bowl and they are undefeated in the other three.  Beware the dread pirate Doc Holliday.

The rumor was always that SMU boosters wanted to start a slush fund to get back to the top of the SWC, and Fry wouldn't play ball, so they forced him out for a coach who would.  Led to the Pony Express...and the death penalty.

Doesn't ESPN own a good deal of the newer ones?  They couldn't care less who shows up, it still gets better ratings than OTL or a PTI rerun or whatever.

That said, I don't know why they don't put them all in their facilities in Orlando.

Didn't Fry come flat out and say it was true?
