Fresno State- plays in the better conference
UCF- practically has a home game
Middle Tennessee -why the hell not
Oregon State- (insert quirky phrase about beavers)
California- one team nicknamed the Bears has to win or the world will collapse
Nevada- I know nothing about SMU
Ohio- since Marshall left the MAC they have sucked
Pittsburgh- RUN THAT BALL BABY!
USC- because both teams can’t lose
Clemson- they have played great down the stretch
Georgia- see Pitt
Temple- why not
Wisconsin- I’m Big Ten biased
Idaho -the games is like in Idaho
Nebraska -because they got screwed in the Texas game
Houston -I know its tough to pick against AF in the Armed Forces Bowl
Stanford -Toby Gehardt trains by fighting Black Bears in Montana
Navy- see Georgia
Minnesota- because if they lose they are kicked out of the Big Ten!
Tennessee- because their coach is a dick
Northwestern- Big Ten bias
Penn State- Big Ten bias
West Virginia- Bowden never learned to read!
South Florida- it’s in Florida
South Carolina -I have no idea why and I’m probably wrong on this one
Ole Miss -because I like the name
East Carolina -HOLTZ
Texas Tech- State sucks
Central Michigan- CMU has the real Heisman Winner!
Oregon- when was the last time OSU won a bowl
Florida- Cincinnati has a terrible D
TCU- this is the most disappointing game, I want to see the little guy fight the big guys
Iowa- this will be the best bowl game and I hope neither team attempts a pass
Alabama- anything other than this would have been great
Just in case someone decides to place a wager, the combined score of the final game will be -66

but what about the minor speculum bowl?
i think if we put our monies together we can afford one…
whats that? the combined total of everyone’s debt is near $200,000. Oh wait nevermind. but think of what we could have accomplished if that money wasn’t tied up in educations and houses and rent and …
Brad • 2 years ago
Larry is right. We should put on a concert in Aurora, Illinois. Jim Morrison came to me in a dream and told me that this was my goal in life. Jim looked nothing like Val Kilmer but the weird naked Indian oddly resembled John Holmes.
Jared • 2 years ago
Larry, Scott, Mike, Brad, and myself; I think we have more than 200k. But we should borrow more so we can make this a real wager.
Jared • 2 years ago
Val Kilmer played John Holmes in that biopic about Holmes, did he not?
Mike • 2 years ago
Shit, I’ll bet we approach half a million pretty easily. I like it, borrow more for the wager, and to stimulate the economy.
brad • 2 years ago
Yes! I was hoping someone would make the connection. But in all seriousness Val Kilmer is doing a bio pic about himself in which he will be playing the role of every character in the film, but himself. He saved that for Matt Damon. CGI, Damon, and fat suits, it’ll be amazing.
Scott • 2 years ago
No fat suits needed, for Kilmer at least. His acting is pure method – hence the two and a half years he spent on the U.S.S. Mayweather in preparation for his role as Iceman.

Mike • 2 years ago
There are no good players in the MAC, Scott.
Schaser • 2 years ago
I never said the MAC was outstanding I just said they will have a great bowl record. this season… oh and by the way
Jason Taylor- Akron
Brad Maynard- Ball State
Antonio Gates– Kent State
Joshua Cribbs– Kent State
Jame Harrison- Kent State
Ben Rothlisberger– Miami of Ohio
Michael Turner– NIU
Chester Taylor– Toledo
Gregg Jennings– WMU
Just a few pro bowlers and some above average players…
May not be the longest list but some of the best at their position…
Scott • 2 years ago
Mike- Dan LeF……. of Central. Ask Brad.
Schaser • 2 years ago
I see we are all even after the first game… 0-1…
Mike • 2 years ago
I was kidding. I know there are many excellent players coming out of the MAC every year that never get recognized. This goes back to our conversations on the Heisman, and how that conference receives no respect…
Schaser • 2 years ago
Brad the world is fine the Bears lost and hey we all knew Utah would go nine straight,….. well except for you and Mike…zing!
Mike • 2 years ago
zing
Mike • 2 years ago
I just always thought utah was over rated, I was wrong. God knows that conference isn’t BCS material, am I right?
Nykamp • 2 years ago
Of course you’re right. The SEC is the only true BCS conference. Every now and then, the Pac 10. The rest are dreamers.
Schaser • 2 years ago
Scott the MAC is BCS all the way!!!
