Why? Why? Why?

In a brillant move that benefits no fans, the NCAA has granted Washington, DC the Congressional Bowl..

What purpose does this serve? RFK or Nationals Park? First of all, RFK should be demolished so Daniel Snyder can build the 1 million capacity retractable dome. Second, why ruin a perfectly good baseball park with a football game? Apparently after rejecting the +1 championship, they thought yet another bowl game to add the to 670 we already have makes it so much better.

The participants are going to be something like the 10th best ACC team and one of the service academies. I hope Navy, the participant for the first Congressional Bowl, makes it to a BCS bowl so the Congressional Bowl organizers will have to scramble for the Coast Guard Academy's football team.

This story has been so interesting. Interesting enough that I didn't really care who Daniel Synder interviewed for 62 and 3/16 of an hour. The question is why did Kevin Hart go so far with the lie?

A year that marks some exceptional performances has two standouts among the field of candidates. Tebow & McFadden separated themselves from their peers. In a two man race, Tebow's tools, stats, and on field presence during the game give him a slight edge. Tebow has all the attributes that NFL scouts salivate over and he's not even eligible for the draft yet. McFadden will certainly be an impact player in the NFL.

Watching the ESPN BCS Bowl Show special, I could only think to myself I'd like a pep talk from Lou Holz. He's awesome! He should have a Super Bowl commercial giving the loosing team at half time a (fake) pep talk and at the end of the commercial - drink a soft drink.

When talking about a particular conference, Lou mentioned something to the effect that some people may mention that while other teams in other conferences played additional tough conference games this team/conference went to the bakery and played cupcakes. He has such a great way with words.

I don't even know what else was on TV, but Lou had my attention. He made so many valid points about coaches leaving to go coach and recruit for their new team and leave their old one, that every team had a chance to play for the title by not losing and any team can make a case to be in whatever bowl game they'll be playing.

Oh, and yes it's Ohio State vs. LSU for the title and Hawaii plays in a BCS Bowl.

After Maryland demolished the Wolfpack, the Terps became bowl eligible. The two most likely scenarios involve MD playing in Boise or San Francisco.
