i love bowl season

There's really nothing like the beginning of college football bowl season. In my opinion (and this may sound crazy to those reading) I think this is ten times better than March Madness. Sure you'll never get the feeling of a #15 knocking off a #2, but you're able to watch the teams that clawed their way to the finish line to get six wins and then come out and absolutely dominate in one final game.

Somehow I always get off to a great start picking games, and I think that's what keeps me most interested. A few years ago I went 10-0 to start before Boise killed my dreams, then the next year Boise came through by beating Oklahoma and I ended up winning the bowl pool.

This year I haven't watched as much football as I would have liked to because of the move, but I started the year off strong by going 4-0 yesterday. Don't worry, it's not like I have any crazy insider knowledge working at ESPN, it's just that teams from Utah can't compete with the sultry sounds of David Hasselhoff resonating through their heads the entire game.

We're Trojan fans tonight. Here's to 30 more bowls.
