Suddenlystruttin's Bowl Predictions, Part 2

Chick-Fil-A Bowl
Clemson vs Auburn
Atlanta, Georgia

Huh, a peach? That's weird.

If I can put my cantankerous, grouchy hat on for just a minute, this bowl game was once known as the "Peach Bowl" and I actually used to have an iota of respect for it. I know, I know, "sounds like somebody has a case of the 'used tas,' but c'mon!, this game is now sponsored by some insanely Christian company-albeit, deliciously insane-that doesn't even have their restaurants open on Sundays for fear of invoking "the one true God's almighty wrath" All the more fitting, I suppose that this bowl pits two teams from the Bible Belt in a battle of which team God loves more. Fuck it, I was using this whole bowl game as a platform to rail against the born-agains. In any case, I am totally calling for the Tigers who's team color is orange to win.* No, but seriously, I'm totally picking Auburn to romp through, over and around Clemson.

* That's a joke, now see, both squads are nicknamed the Tigers and sport orange as their predominant color.

Suddenlystruttin's Bowl Predictions

Rummaging through the archives I realized it's been over a month since we last discussed college football and with Bowl Season about to kickoff, no pun intended, I thought we should breakdown some of the more, ahem, "important" (read, Big Ten or whatever games Tony Ritz wants to discuss) games.

In No Particular Order...

Alamo Bowl
Paterno State versus Texas A&M
San Antonio, Texas

The Alamo: The site of Joe Paterno's first loss as a coach, way back in 1836.

Texas A&M has been as up and down as Paterno State has been all season, along with having the added element of a defense that disappears for long stretches of games-see, @ Miami. Meanwhile, Paterno and Co. would love nothing more than to finally avenge Paterno's first ever loss as a college football coach when he led a ragtag bunch of scrappy ex-cons and junior college transfers against the Mexican National Team at the original Alamo Bowl. I've got it on good information that Paterno will be, "Buyin' out the bar and makin' it rain on all y'all ignant mofos!" upon a PSU victory.
Paterno State 31, Texas AM 17


Motor City Bowl
Purdue vs Central Michigan
Detroit, Michigan










Detroit: So shitty it doesn't even get a photo, just blank space.

Purdue? Central Michigan? I don't care who wins, cause the real losers are the people who paid good money to go to Detroit for a football game.

Plenty more of this to come as we approach the Bowl Season*.

*Yes, I'm aware that "Bowl Games" start tomorrow, and even though I'll be watching them, these are middling games that I do not care for.
