...bowls that offer tryouts for sports announcers by ESPN...
Classic post BOR. This part in particular is very much true.
...bowls that offer tryouts for sports announcers by ESPN...
Why on God's green earth would we even want to go to any bowl after going 6-6 with three of our wins being Duke, Samford, and Army? That means that in reality, we would be 3-6 against real football teams. Give it up my friend. The bowl streak is over and it should be. Last year the planets aligned for Tech and we spit in the face of good fortune. Spit in the MF'ing face of prosperity. A BCS bid was on a platter and we could not put the ball across the goal line against the greatness that is Wake f'ing Forest. With the best college player in the nation, we could not score one touchdown against a team of posers. Why? They had a coach; we didn't.
Yes, Chan Bowls.
Definition: Noun, Plural: Football Post Season Bowls played in temperatures of less than 60 degrees, on baseball fields, blue fields, or real football fields with stadiums of less than 40 thousand seats often resembling a Texas High School football stadium; which every 4 years the name of the bowl either changes or ceases to exist anymore; may have multi hyphened name or may represent a little known organization like a sports store, a little known non-profit organization, or a nut manufacturer; typically played west of the Mississippi against teams in the Mountain West Conference, Conference USA, or MAC, but may occassionally get a Big East opponent; often played on days that other bowls will not play in order to draw a television audience; bowls that get little exposure when you win them, but if you lose you are considered the absolute laughing stock; bowls that occassionally get mentioned with 2nd tier bowls but only by those who have a vested monetary interest in the bowl game itself; bowls that offer tryouts for sports announcers by ESPN; bowls that fall on or before Dec 23rd not yet good enough for a Christmas Eve apearance, may occassionally include a post Jan 1st bowl, but typically at least 4 days after the National Championship game, bowl games whose trophy looks strangely like MTV's golden popcorn movie awards; bowl games that match powerhouse teams barely above .500; bowl games that extend the contract one more year for a team's coach that managed to barely win more than he lost but it was still good enough to give him another chance at a better bowl the following year that he never seems to be able to get to.
That is a Chan Bowl.
