Let's Go Bowling...and Bowling...and Bowling...

Yes, it's that time of year again - when seventy (yes, that's seventy!) Division I football teams get an "attaboy" for breaking .500 in their football performance.  The BCS folks have made their selections--and, boy, is that another discussion--so all the other bowls have finalized their selections as well.

Now, I do enjoy watching football, so the link below is a near-constant reference point for me during the months of December and (early) January.  From the Gildan New Mexico Bowl to the Beef O'Brady's St. Petersburg Bowl to the GoDaddy.com Bowl (Arkansas State?) to, finally, the BCS National Championship Game on January 9th, they're all here; you'll note that, with only four exceptions, they will all be broadcast on some flavor of ESPN. 

I note, with a smug sense of conference superiority, that 9 of the 12 SEC schools are playing bowl games; for good measure, both of the SEC members-to-be (Missouri and Texas A&M) are bowling as well.  They might as well call it the SEC Invitiational 2011...
