DON'S HANDY BOWL COMPENDIUM
Starting Saturday, December 19 and ending Thursday January 7, college football fans will have the opportunity to feast on more than enough bowl games to sate their appetite for pigskin until next August. By my count, there are 34 games on the slate.
Since I have absolutely nothing else to keep my mind occupied, I started compiling a list of the games and data pertaining to the teams. It is probably a lot simpler just to "surf the net" for information as my interest is piqued for particular games. But I had the brilliant brainstorm to try to comment on every game. And to pick the winners. After one solid day of research, I have the basic data for five bowl games and list of the games, 15 of which include team records and mascots.
Let's see…at that rate it will only take me about seven days and 70 hours to cipher all the matchups. That still leaves me five days to write a few blurbs before the games begin. Then, if I write like the wind, I can probably crank out enough verbiage to stay ahead of the football frenzy. Of course, I intend to focus on the Missouri-Navy contest with daily commentary and factoids, too; so I might want to schedule a few more hours a day to keep pace. For good measure, I sense a duty to keep up with the Tiger basketball team, as well.
Somebody slap me! Otherwise you are going to be getting one of these "blogs" (for lack of a better term), for days on end.
To better prepare for the task at hand, I think I need a beer. After all it is Pearl Harbor Day.
