Yes, it's that time again. Watching a bunch of undeserving teams play in thankless bowl games before leading up to teams that were robbed followed by the more or less pre-BCS schools and topped off with a fascist regime of a system that even the President hates. Yes, it's bowl season. People getting piss-drunk while betting $50 on who wins the Papa John's.com Bowl or the Texas Bowl or some crap-ass game no one cares about.

Anyways, here's the first bit: Troy punter becomes Santa Claus.

Tonight's game: the Beef O'Brady Bowl. What the hell kind of name is that? And why was it put on ESPN while UConn's historic 89th straight win was relegated to ESPN 2? Sure that game was a blowout but it's historical!

Because its women's sports

But it's way more important than a meaningless bowl game between two teams that no one cares about. In fact, the big sports story today was the UConn game so it would have made perfect sense to put it on the main channel.

Ratings

Who wants to bet that the UConn game had the better ratings?

Depends when you take the ratings. I bet most people would tune out on the UConn game after they got up by 20 points, which is probably why they were on the duece, in all reality. That, combined with these things called "television contracts" that the people putting on the bowl sign, that say "we will show your game on this station at this time."

God damn, did you see the flood in San Diego? With all that water that got into the stadium, I'm surprised they are still playing tonight. The people in San Diego have got balls to say "Fuck you" to Mother Nature.

A toast to the Qualcomm Stadium grounds crew. They took the worst and made into a respectable situation.
