Ladies and Gentlemen –

By now, the last of the Christmas packages have been unwrapped, your annoying relatives have left and, you have finally gotten your five year old nephews transformer toy removed from the toilet and the Bicycle Elf has made his last delivery of the year.

I can’t believe that Christmas is over already

But now the “Real” Bowl season begins in earnest

So Let’s Get To It…..

This will be Your “last” college football bowl picks of 2014….

With only the “Championship” game left to pick next week

I didn’t want 2014 to expire without thanking you all for taking the time to read the picks and articles this past year.

For sending comments and emails or just simply reading what I write

I truly don’t know what I would have done without you all

From the bottom of my heart

Thank you

Enjoy Your Bowl Picks…

THE BOWL GAMES

Monday December 29

AMISH YODER CANNED MEAT and CHEESE BOWL
This bowl game located in the heart of Amish Country in Lancaster Pennsylvania will be the first bowl game played this day with kickoff slated to be at nine o’clock in the morning. For those of you that enquired as to why this game has such an earlier kickoff, the answer is quite simple.

This Bowl game is played early in the morning verses at night because the Amish believe that “electricity” is from the Devil.
Also, it will not be televised due to ESPN’s inability to effectively “hook up” to the Amish milking machines to transmit the telecast.

Sorry….

AUTOZONE LIBERTY BOWL
Texas A&M vs. West Virginia
This Bowl Game in Memphis Tennessee has a rich tradition over the years….
But they should rename this one “The Schizophrenia Liberty Bowl”
Because with these two teams; you never know who is going to show-up
GIG EM AGGIES 41-34

THE FUDGE PACKERS BOWL Presented by The Keebler Elves
This bowl game is located in tasty Hershey Pennsylvania
The teams selected for this game both melted down before the season started like a Hershey Bar on the dashboard of a Ford pickup in Dallas on July 4th
Indiana Hoosiers and Virginia Cavaliers

EDITORS NOTE: Admit it….
You thought I was going to say something nasty about the above bowl game didn’t you?

Don’t feel too bad, I giggled myself when I wrote it

RUSSELL ATHLETIC BOWL
Oklahoma vs. Clemson
This Bowl game in O Town…..
(In the above reference I am referring to the town of Orlando Florida, not the defunct musically challenged Boy Band with the same name)
It’s important to note here that Russell Athletic wear is made in the United States…
Enough said…
DABO’S TIGERS 31-24

ADVOCARE V100 TEXAS BOWL
Arkansas vs. Texas
Two old Southwest Conference foes square-off in Houston Texas….
These are the type of matchups were “Legend’s of the Fall” are made

Tuesday December 30

FRANKLIN AMERICAN MORTGAGE MUSIC CITY BOWL

Nashville, Music City USA…..
Just for the record…..

Just saying….

THE SPOTTED DICK BOWL
Terre Haute Indiana

EDITORS NOTE: Please stop giggling….

The sponsor of this game is an English Sponge Pudding….

EDITORS NOTE II: In all fairness….
I was laughing so hard I forgot who was playing….

BELK BOWL
Georgia vs. Louisville
This bowl game located in Charlotte North Carolina….
Charlotte, of course, is also the home to “Purdue’s Urine Cakes and Urinal Cleaning Accessories”
But for reasons that should be rather obvious, nobody wanted them as a sponsor…
After all, who wants a trophy made out of urine cakes?
HUNKER DOWN DAWGS 31-28

THE ELECTROLUX VACUUM BOWL
This Bowl game is played in unattractive and butt ugly Saginaw Michigan
It’s reserved for two teams that sucked the life out of their fans all year

The Winner of this game not only escapes with their lives but also receives the coveted “Shizzle My Mizzle Trophy”
California Golden Bears and Washington State Cougars

VIZIO FIESTA BOWL
Boise State vs. Arizona
I’m a confused here…..
I thought “Vizio” was some sort of fingernail fungus you got from eating sushi
It’s inappropriate to have a “fiesta” over such a thing
BRONCO’S 41-31

THE JIM DANDY BOWL
This Bowl game is located in Black Oak Arkansas….

It must be a funding issue
