It Starts Tomorrow

If you are a college football bowl fan, the wait is almost over. The bowl season officially begins Saturday with three games.

Other than the Army-Navy game last week, we have been without major college football for about two weeks. It was definitely enough time to recharge the batteries and prepare for the postseason.

This bowl season might seem longer than the regular season, but what do you expect when some 30 games are played? Actually, some of the lesser bowls might be more interesting than the bigger ones.

Some random thoughts on the bowl weekend.

The University of Louisiana-Lafayette rarely appears on television but the school will do the bright lights Saturday night at the New Orleans Bowl.

Interestingly, in this period of mediocre bowl records, the worst record of the six bowl teams playing this weekend is 7-5 Utah State.

I’m just wondering if the gift bags for the Idaho Potato Bowl include 10 pounds of Idaho’s best “spuds.”

New Mexico must either be a proud state or it has difficulty coming up with names. The New Mexico Bowl is straight and to the point.

Last year, I questioned Wyoming’s school colors. The Cowboys return to an early bowl game again, but I will play nice. I have no comment on brown, yellow and white.

Oh by the way, go Cowboys!
