UCF is about as midmajory as a team can get

But who allowed this fanaticism over the airwaves Was it RogerStaubach Maybe, but he was lampooned in the film- North Dallas 40, during the kinder, gentler 70's. Was it Kurt Warner Well at least it's not so bad in the NFL, because, though God loves you- he is always broke and needs your last dollar, much like your typical NFL owner. So it least they are consistent in their core beliefs in the NFL and won't lift a blackout in the worst economy ever. Yet the "revelations" of college players are more of an abomination on the gridiron than Janet Jackson's exposed breast. They are worse than any discernible F bomb from the field. They certainly come across as religious professionals, working for the good Lord. At least you have to give BYU'sathletes credit. They literally walk the walk and give up NFL money to go on missions Yet you never see a post game talk with a Cougar. Er ah,The Cougars might hold the mike, but they don't preach. Maybe the Mormon brand of faith or fiction is too controversial Again hypocrisy, prevails. I say take all comers-Hari Krishnas too! I wish Tim Tebow would quit his day job. If this continues he will be insufferable inside an NFL locker room. For these jocks to imply that their talent is god given is either ludicrous, or selfish.

That means god hand picked them and also made it possible for their team to win Sitting on our couch we are mere mortals. Because, after all, how many of us reach their level on any playing field God is certainly on their side. Or as Abe Lincoln said: "they are on God's side"They should be giving Darwin and that lucky sperm cell equal time for their talent. Never mind that these are alleged student athletes and for the most part they attend secular schools. Maybe as a public service, they could talk about higher education and learning instead of their ministries If they ever did much reading outside the "good book", they certainly aren't willing to share that knowledge.If they had, they would have learned that Einstein considered dancers, not football players, as God's chosen athletes.Besides, these teams should have already gotten the memo that our Lord is busy elsewhere-How has Touchdown Jesus been working for Notre Dame lately Oral Roberts University does not even have a football team and if Jesus wanted them to, they would have it. Let's begin our quick look into each bowl game this season. There are plenty of great matchups this season, but some real duds, too.I'll give the basics for each bowl game; who's in it, when, why I (and you) should take the time to watch, and which team gets the early nod New Mexico Bowl Dec 19 / 4:30 p.m. Fresno State (8-4, 6-2 WAC) vs.

Wyoming (6-6, 4-4 MWC) Why I should watch: This game would normally get my lowest rating, but since Fresno played two Big Ten teams (Wisconsin, Illinois), the Bulldogs offer some spark of interest. Fresno lost four games: at Wisconsin, Boise State, at Cincinnati, and at Nevada.But those four opponents combined for a ridiculous 42-7 record, including Cincy and Boise going unbeaten.Wyoming, meanwhile, is just awful. The Cowboys were held to 10 points or less on six different occasions this season, including THREE shutout losses. Rutgers (8-4, 3-4 Big East) Why I should watch: I'm a North Jersey native, so this game will illicit much more interest for me than the average viewer.Having seen Rutgers play in person this year, I can say the RU has the ability to play with any team. The Scarlet Knights pushed Pitt and West Virginia; but they also lost to Syracuse in a bad road loss.UCF is about as mid-majory as a team can get. The Knights were blown away by the BCS teams they faced, and beat most of the other teams on their slate.Hey, if anything else, this bowl pits the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers against the Knights of Central Florida Give'em: RU (-2) On paper, this game gets a.. 1 out of 5 for normal people; 2 out of 5 for me New Orleans Bowl Dec 20 / 8:30 p.m. Southern Mississippi (7-5, 5-3 C-USA) vs. Middle Tennessee State (9-3, 7-1 Sun Belt)Why I should watch: Southern Miss was supposed to be one of those hot picks to crash the BCS this season; but a third-place C-USA East finish doesn't exactly turn heads towards your program.Four of the Eagles' five losses came by seven points or less, including at Kansas, at Louisville, at Houston and at East Carolina.Middle Tennessee State plays in the brutal Sun Belt Conference (sarcasm, folks), but even with a decent non-conference schedule, finished with nine wins Give'em: USM (-3) On paper, this game gets a.. 1 out of 5 Maaco Bowl Dec 22 / 8 p.m. No 18 Oregon State (8-4, 6-3 Pac 10) vs No.

14 Brigham Young (10-2, 7-1 MWC)Why I should watch: For such an early bowl date, this game offers two top-20 teams. BYU wasn't the monster it was thought to be, particularly after its blowout loss to Florida State way back in September.But the Cougars still won 10 games, and beat No 23 Utah. Oregon State is in a similar boat, as one more win would have propelled the Beavers to the Pac 10 title and Rose Bowl bid.Oregon State played an arguably tougher schedule, but I like this game a lot, and will surely tune in Give'em: OSU (-2) On paper, this game gets a.. 3 out of 5 Poinsettia Bowl Dec 23 / 8 p.m. No 23 Utah (9-3, 6-2 MWC) vs. California (8-4, 5-4 Pac 10) Why I should watch: Figure this to be the lite-version of the OSU-BYU game; these are the two losers of both regular season meetings.
