San Diego Here We Come!

Talk about down time! We need some action in the world of NCAA Football folks.

I guess we could deliberate over the All-American team, who’s on it. Who’s not. We could discuss year-end awards. Who got them, who should have.

But all that stuff is just filler, it’s just holding us over until that very first bowl game, the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego, where TCU will take on Northern Illinois!

Is it the most exciting matchup ever conceived in the NCAA Football think tank? I don’t think any of us would argue that point of view. But it’s NCAA Football, and goodness knows that’s just about better than anything else we could watch.

The great thing about the Poinsettia bowl (besides being in San Diego, ahh, San Dee-ahhgo), and all the bowls really, is that it gives the players, coaches, fans, and everyone involved with the two schools, a chance to celebrate the season and for one day, a couple of hours, in one town, be the main show.

TCU and Northern Illinois will not be playing for the national championship this year. But when the kick off, I don’t think you’ll be able to tell the difference between the effort they’re giving, and that of Ohio State and Florida in early January.

And that is what is awesome about, NCAA Football, the bowl games, and this time of year. There’s nothing better than sitting on the couch, in front of the fire with a nice random bowl game on. I love it.

Just get here already.
