Let the eaaaaaaaaaaagle sooaaaaar....

I didn't get to watch a lot of college football (or any football for that matter) during the past season. And when I did get to watch some games, I felt guilty about it since there was stuff that I could have been doing that would help me not fail out of school.

So now that I'm on Christmas break, with nothing due and no quizzes or finals to come for a few weeks, it's time for some FOOTBAW. But first, I must watch Bloodsport every time it comes on Versus HD:


That's right, it's a full Kumite bracket! Lovingly stolen from Wikipedia of course. You know, it sorta looks like a cranial nerve schematic...oh god this break couldn't have come soon enough. In fact, after 5 months straight of med school, 6 finals of various sorts, and many many curses at horrible LA traffic, I could really identify with what JCVD was going through in his epic showdown with Chong Li. Except for the whole blindness thing. But because of JCVD you can now know what med students look like after finishing up finals:




But now to the main point of the post: college football bowl season is almost upon us, and as ESPN has to carefully implanted in my brain "Its the most wonderful time of the yeaarrrr..." So my goal is to watch as many entire bowl games, and portions of bowl games, that I can over break. This is to make up for the games I missed while immersed in minutiae that would make your eyes bleed.

There's a few bowl games that I'm watching come hell or high water:

1) Poinsettia Bowl, TCU vs Boise St: This game pisses me off on one hand because it's a better matchup than most of the Pac-10 bowls, but then again, it's a better matchup than like all of the ACC bowls. Anyway, it'll be a good one.

2) Holiday Bowl, Oregon vs Oklahoma St: I must love San Diego. Or San Diego loves footbaw. This game will be like the classic circa-1997 WAC matchups that routinely ended with both teams over 50 points. Good times!

3) Rose Bowl, U$C vs Penn St: I watch the Rose Bowl every year, enuff said. And I usually pull for Pac-10 teams if they're not playing Cal, but I have a soft spot for zombies and BRAAAIIIIINSS so go Paterno and Penn St!

Those are the biggies. I'm sure I'll catch some of the magicJack Bowl too. Aren't you?
