Good thing I’m not a gambler

I want to go ahead and extend my apologies to the following football programs. I’m participating in the ESPN College Bowl Mania picke’em game. I have picked you to win your respective games. That is, in essence, the kiss of death. My apologies to these schools:
NC STate
Fresno State
TCU
Alabama
Iowa
Virginia Tech
Auburn
Notre Dame
West Virginia (I didn’t realize they were playing Georgia in the Sugar Bowl – in Atlanta!)
Penn State
Texas

I’m 8-9 right now, having chosen only 2 of the last 7 correctly. Methinks this could be a record breaking year – in futility!

A few more thoughts about this year’s bowl season:

* Did anyone else think it was a little cruel to make Louisiana State play the Hurricanes, considering the devastation of Katrina and Rita? Of course, the Tigers ran all over Miami, and that’s how it should be.

* I think there should be a minimum distance a team should have to travel. I mean, come on – Boise State and Arizona State playing on their home fields? Doesn’t really seem like a bowl atmosphere as much as it does a key regular season matchup. That didn’t really help Boise State though. They still lost.
