[NU Sports] Ranking the Bowls

Nope, disagree.  Nearly ANY college football game is better than nearly ANY
NFL game, and ANY college football game is better than no games at all.
Bowl season is the last chance to watch the best, exciting and most unpredictable 
sporting events until next fall.  (Heck, even the NC game might feature
a touchdown this time.)  

For a while I had the NBA labor follies to look forward to over the winter,
but apparently even billionaires can make a necessary business decision every
now and then, just like a blind squirrel can find a nut.  I'd rather watch a 
rerun of the 1996 Strong Man competition on ESPN (for the 37th time) than 
have to watch an NBA game.  (The Jordan years were the exception, he was such
a phenomenal athlete that you just KNEW he would do something that was impossible
for mere mortals at some point in the game.)

And as for the NHL, Rodney Dangerfield had them pegged years ago.
