Anoter day!

I am dangerously close to going 0-2 today. That is ok though. The bowl season so far has been a mixture of excitement and unpredictability. But we are now getting in to the meat of the bowl season so get out your knife and fork.

Humanitarian Bowl; Idaho v. Bowling Green: This will be another completely offensive game. Both of these teams surprised a lot of the experts by doing as well as they have. Bowling Green has an almost unstoppable passing attack. The Falcons are setting and breaking records right and left. Bowling Green wide receiver Freddie Barnes is four receptions away from setting an NCAA record for receptions in a season. Barnes is also a threat in the running game and punt returns. Idaho also has a potent and balanced offense. Neither of these teams play great defense. Even though Idaho is practically a home team I am taking Bowling Green. John and Jess agree, but Lys and Jason are taking the Vandals.

Holiday Bowl; Nebraska v. Arizona: Another great night game. The Wildcats of Arizona are a quietly dangerous team. They were competitive right down to the wire in the Pac-10 (which hasn't meant much this year in the bowl season). The Wildcat offense is potent, and they have a solid defense. But that sure doesn't mean much against Nebraska and the Blackshirts. The Cornhuskers boast the most dominant player in college football with Ndomakong Suh. Suh has the ability to take over games, just ask the Longhorns. I like Arizona and I believe they will continue to improve, but I believe that Nebraska will win this game. Unfortunately John is the only one that agrees with me.

Let us take a second to talk about Mike Leach. I have to say that I don't think he did anything wrong. This whole situation sounds like an overreaction to a very basic situation. The kid in question is lucky enough to have a high profile father to jump in and cause a ruckus. Live like no on is watching and analyze and interpret.
