Yeah, okay, this one is a dog with fleas... but I know a little something about that. What you're gonna wanna do, Motor City Bowl, is call Pestex Fleabusters... they've got a year's guarant... wait a minute; this game's sponsored by the Big Three Automakers? Are you guys going to use our tax dollars on this? I know I said I love the bowls, but I'm not sure if I can condone this...

And for Pete's sake, if I have to hear one more time about how great Howard Schnelleburger is, I'm going to go nuts ... can someone explain how the man is still living - he left Miami 25 years ago because he was getting too old!!! And Central Michigan's QB is going to have to change his name. I can't spell it. Dan LeFever is as close as I can get.

With almost two full days without college football (and with the earlier 7:30 kickoff), I'm sure I'm going to watch this game, but it might be while playing beer pong. Which reminds me, we're looking for competitors for those who are interested.

I put down 23 points on Central Michigan, so I'm guessing I'm pretty confident that the Chippewas are taking down the Owls, which would make me a little worried since I only saw them play twice - both losses (Georgia and Ball State) and in both cases I took CMU and the points. But I'm ok because that's two more games than I've seen Florida Atlantic play (well, that and both Kirbstreit and Pete Fuitak of collegefootballnews.com both picked the Chippawas, with Kirbstreit putting down 24).
