BOWLS

Former Tech QB Tucker Gleason is starting for Toledo right now

(Hopefully no one blinked: after starting the second quarter for Toledo in place of their starter in the Boca Raton Bowl versus Liberty and leading them to a FG, he was replaced by the starter on their next series.)

They're just meaningless exhibition games now. That is all. When I was a young lad, there were about a dozen bowls and a team pretty much had to be ranked to get one. It was two pretty good-to-good teams playing and it was a chance to move up in the final poll - bragging rights were at stake. Now there are teams with losing records playing in bowl games and many are almost devoid of meaning, except it means about 15 more days of practice for the team. That's significant.

Back then you had the following bowls:
Rose - Pasadena, CA
Orange - Miami, FL
Sugar - New Orleans, LA
Cotton - Dallas, TX
Fiesta - Tempe, AZ
Gator - Jacksonville, FL
Liberty - Memphis, TN
Tangerine - Orlando, FL
Peach - Atlanta, GA
Bluebonnet - Houston, TX
Holiday - San Diego, CA

Now, when I was a young lad there were only six bowls----and one of them was the Tangerine Bowl. Who remembers the Oil Bowl?
 
By definition Jesus was born on Christmas Day. Doesn't mean it was Dec 25. It is just celebrated that day - no one knows so pick one. Easter is known according to the Jewish calendar.

Good timing for a holiday week with college football bowl games!
 
Cold AF at the Air Force Bowl. Punta into the wind just die.

13 degrees and wind.
 
Game, set, match Air Force. 30-7 with 12:40 to go.

Baylor players just wanna go home now. It's cold.
