We've Got Your "Seven Nation Army" Right Here.
As I said before, the Big Ten bowls would be getting their own special coverage because the BTB pick ‘em contest extends into to the bowl season. This time around, the stakes are at their absolute highest as each correct pick is now worth 5 points as opposed to 3 for regular season conference matchups. [...]
Alright, time to quickly preview some more non-Big Ten bowl games (the Big Ten bowl games will be previewed in the season finale of the BTB Pick ‘Em competition):
Sheraton Hawaii Bowl (Dec 24, 8 PM ET ESPN) – Hawaii v. Notre Dame
Reason To Watch: It’s a chance to see whether they make Hawaiian shirts in [...]
Well, it’s that time of the year again folks: Bowl season is upon us. Since last season, we’ve had two additional games added, bringing the grand total now to 34 bowl games. This means that a whopping 68 out of 120, or 56.7% of Division I football programs play in the postseason, not even the [...]
BCS Championship Time! And I’m going to go out on a limb here…I’m taking the Buckeyes over LSU, 24-17. From a pure athletic/talent standpoint, LSU has the advantage but I’m liking OSU for the intangibles: The OSU players still have that bitter taste in their mouth from a year ago and the media is barely [...]

Part of me thinks those tears were shed over the fact that Schmitt still can’t fathom how they managed to lose [...]
I hope you all had a pleasant New Year’s celebration. Nothing big happened with me, just ended up hanging out with some old high school friends at the Phyrst, which usually turns into one giant, unofficial, State College High School reunion when PSU is on break.
Anywho, here’s some quick and belated thoughts on the [...]
Alright, these next several bowl previews are going to come in bits, because I’m just feeling absolutely lazy at this point and don’t feel like doing a whole bunch of games in a row like I did in Part I.
I’ll have a little write-up on the Alamo Bowl as well, whenever I get to it.
Independence [...]
With college bowl season about to kickoff tomorrow night, I figured I’d be super-creative(sarcasm) and slop together my own thoughts and predictions regarding this year’s 64 lucky teams (out of 120, which means more than half of the teams in college football are participating in the post-season, all hail mediocrity!) who made it to one [...]
