A Bowling We Will Go......

I'm sure there are just TONS of stories out there on the world wide web about this upcoming bowl season. Most I bet argue the need of a playoff system (I'd be one of them). Of course, to me the idea of a "Humanitarian Bowl" seems laughable for football. This year's roster of bowl games feature 4 games in which neither team has a winning record.  None of the teams in the Dec 30th Music City Bowl, The Texas Bowl and the FIGHT HUNGER Bowl on Dec 31st. nor the Jan 2nd Gator Bowl have winning records. That's right, 8 teams this year will be rewarded for their mediocrity or losing records....

For a complete list to see who is going to play in the New Mexico Bowl, Belk Bow, The Pinstripe Bowl, The TicketCity bowl or my 2nd favorite behind the Fight Hunger Bowl, the BBVA Compass Bowl, go here.  Or http://stats.washingtonpost.com/cfb/scoreboard.asp  for the HTML impaired.

BTW, GO TARHEELS in the 2011 INDEPENDENCE BOWL!!!! December 12th! Beat the 7-5 Missouri Tigers!!

Gaines Adams

Gaines Adams (June 8, 1983 – January 17, 2010)


I'm a UNC Tarheel fan, but I felt surprise and saddness upon hearing of the death of former Clemson great Gaines Adams. Apparently he was an easy going, appreciative guy as well. From what I hear and read, he will be missed on and off the field. Though it was cool that somewhere, someone had done a Gaines Adams Madden cover. It's nearly every football players dream to be on one.


Goodbye Gaines. Chicago would have loved you nearly as much as everyone here does.
