***3rd ANNUAL DU3 COLLEGE FOOTBALL BOWL EXTRAVAGONZO***

Welcome to the Silly Season! If you've got a pulse you're
in a Bowl game. Just a tad over three weeks long with only
a couple days off to recharge. I love the fact that when
you're filling up that mug of eggnog on Christmas Eve, you
can check that Nevada-Southern Miss score. But because of
the NFL, we have no New Years Day games. So the big day is
Monday, January 2nd. And it all culminates with the huge Go
Daddy Bowl on January 8th betwixt Arkansas State and Northern
Illinois...wait a fucking minute. Oh, sorry. One more page.
We have the epic rematch for the National Championship. For
the sixth straight year, we will have an SEC team taking it
all. Got to give them credit. Okay. In before the December 17
kick between Temple and Wyoming at 2:00 EST. a la izquierda
is the defending champ. Good fucking luck and we'll see you
in 2012!! Let's see some new faces!!!

had two windows of two different browsers open to compare schedules of each team. Then checked your spreads against other published spreads. If I finish above .500 I'll still consider it a miracle.

Thanks for posting this thread. Until one does it one might not realize how much time goes into it week after week. Your efforts make for a better Sports Forum and are greatly appreciated by all.
