Bowl Game Home Stretch

What is up with the start time of these games!? Come on now, a late Saturday night game during the season is one thing but these games running days together are killing me. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, all games ending the following day.

I thought these games were “starting” in the seven o’clock hour, but none ended up kicking until after 8:00. (Yes, I have an east coast bias.)

Fortunately, these games were worth staying up for. Although the quality of game faded as the week got older. Boise State’s win could have been the most exciting game ever, Wake Forest’s challenge of Louisville was a good story (and surprising to many, a good game), and the LSU game…well, that wasn’t a good one unless you love the Bayou Bengals or hate the Fighting Irish. So, maybe it was fun for a lot of people.

After wrapping up the Sugar Bowl, we’re faced with only one last game (BCS that is, although keep in mind we also have the International Bowl and the GMAC Bowl) for all the marbles. Next week this time we will have a new national champion. I just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for them to play the thing.

Imagine this, if Florida wins, we will have yet another undefeated team who never got to play for the national title. My, my, my, that would certainly give the BCS haters some more ammunition, not that it would matter.

After warming up on these BCS games, I think we’re in for a doozy on Monday.
