The San Diego County mother-f-ing Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl
>> Thursday
I know it's really hackneyed to make fun of ridiculous college football bowl games, and I'm probably about the 10,0000000 person to make fun of this, but holy crap. I thought the oversaturization and oversponsorization of bowl games reached its pinnacle with the Insight.com Bowl and the Nowdefunctsiliconvalleyupstartsearchengine.com Bowl, but clearly I was wrong.
For all I know, this isn't even a new corporate sponsor since I don't care much about college pointy-ball, but seriously, I hate bowl season, epecially this year when half the participating coaches were hired by Michigan a week before it started. Talk about the ultimate sports farce.
Anyway, I'd have to say that my second-favorite bowl (a colse second) is the Papajohns.com Bowl. Evidently, only the Papa John's IT department profits off this one. But there's no chance I could ever watch it because the matchup of Cincy-Southern Miss will just remind me of old, horrible Conference USA blowouts (in basketball, the college sport that matters).
Ok, this was barely a post.

I think my favorite bowls this year are the Humanitarian Bowl and the International Bowl.
Humanitarian because or so sayeth the hackneyed joke, "What's humanitarian about sending college kids to spend their New Years in Boise?"
The International Bowl because while the NFL made a big to-do about their one-off game at Wembley, this is the exact opposite. Rutgers against Ball State in Toronto. The only way I would watch that game is if they played with those nutty Canadian rules...or played on ice.
These don't even come close...think about all those players who get to thell thair grandkids about how their playing days culminated in a hard fought victory against East Carolina in the Meineke Car Car Bowl
That said, last nights game was actually pretty good.
Ahh yes, the pagentry of the Meineke Car Care Bowl. It's synonomous with tradion.
