[NU Sports] PIGSKIN PICKS - Bowl Pool

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

OK, here's the bowl pool entry. All picks due by kickoff in Vegas on DECEMBER 22. Enjoy!

PIGSKIN PICKS – BOWL POOL
#########################

Tis the season for bowl games, but seriously, there can be waaaay too much of a good thing. Thirty-frickin’-four bowl games??? Ugh! Of course, there’s only one that really matters, and that’s the one in Tampa! ☺ The Outback Bowl finally made up for the last two snubs of NU and took us over Wisconsin in a bit of a surprise – dunno if it did us any favors though as NU is a big underdog, but we’ll take it. Now let’s finish, Fitz and get the bowl win!

As for the rest of the games, we’ve narrowed the list to 20 games again this year – all the B(C)S games, all the Big Ten games (save for NU, of course) and other games of interest. The first of our games is TUESDAY, DEC. 22 – so get ALL of your picks in by the kickoff of the Vegas Bowl!

If a situation comes up, like more Sparty players in the police blotter or another scumbag coach ditching his team at the bowl altar, I’ll send out a re-pick notice, but otherwise, all picks by DEC. 22 are final.

Everyone’s back in at 0-0, so make the best of this second chance at getting your name in the record book for 2009-2010 and enjoy the bowl season!
