The football bowl games I've seen so far have been outstanding. Navy vs. Wake (the forest, not the island, <G>)was excellent. Mount Union vs. Wisconsin Clinton, er, WhiteWater, was a fun game. I thought UWW had the better team this year, but Mount Union refused to lose. Mt. Union has produced a President of the USA, more than U of Florida or U of Oklahoma have done. McKinley. He got shot for visiting Buffalo.
I did not see USF vs. Memphis. The score sounded like that might have been the clunker of the bunch.
I loved Arizona vs. BYU. The announcers kept telling the audience about how the Mountain West had dominated the Pac 10 and how BYU had beaten two Pac 10 teams. Meanwhile, on the field, the Pac 10's Arizona was beating BYU. Though the receiver, #9, on the BYU team, was awesome.
I was rooting for Fresno State vs. Colorado State, having had half a dozen or so of my cousins and my Mother's twin sister graduate from Fresno. But CSU won a very entertaining game.
If the big bowls play like these, it will be fun. The most interesting matchup, IMHO, is Alabama vs. Utah. History tells me that Utah will get blown out, but every time I see Utah play, they look awfully good. I don't root for either school, but as a matchup, it's intriguing. |
