As for yesterday's bowl games, I'll just say that when oklahoma and aggy both choked away 14+ point leads it was like Christmas came a couple days late but I'll take that present all the same!
- Go Navy. Great game
Pop-Tarts Bowl
How fitting that for the silliest bowl, the very first play is a botched snap for a turnover
- I very much appreciate ESPN dedicating a whole segment to the history of the toaster. No, my username doesn't have anything to do with that...
  Also, at the top of the broadcast they said this trophy is up there with the Lombardi and cooler than an Oscar. I chuckled, but actually I've come round and agree
- The ending of this one was really quite exciting (not like I expected any heroics from Miami's backup, but if Cam Ward played the second half I wouldn't expect it to have been that close). And the Pop-Tarts mascots antics all game were hilarious. This is now officially my favorite bowl game
- Nooooo, I missed it
Tuning into the early bowl game (which, by the way, is harder to imagine something farther from the essence of cfb than an 11am kickoff in a baseball stadium in Massachusetts) and my immediate reaction is "UConn is 8-4, what the heck?"
- I'll admit, I didn't have UConn dominating UNC in football in Fenway on my bingo card this year...
Alamo Bowl
BYU with the successful onside kick in the 1st quarter while up 10. Wow, way to keep your foot on the gas
