ESPN: College Bowl Central
ESPN announced today that the Insight Bowl is coming back into the fold. That means that 33 of the 35 bowl games on the 2010-11 schedule will be on the ESPN/ABC channels. The Insight Bowl, played on Dec. 28th in Sun Devils Stadium out in Tempe, AZ, will feature the third choice team from the Big 12...
New Year's Day bowl games open thread
First up is the Outback Bowl between Auburn and Northwestern. I don't get Outback Steakhouse. I don't get Australian-themed restaurants in general. I mean, what the fuck is walkabout soup? And what the fuck are jackaroo chops? But I guess if you like it that's cool. Northwestern's quarterback looks...
Open Thread: Holiday Bowl - Ndamukong Suh vs. Arizona Wildcats
As Texas fans we witnessed a game that probably single-handedly cost Colt McCoy the Heisman while simultaneously elevating Ndamukong Suh into Heisman contention and ultimately allowed him to shag six valkyries on his way to Asgard and kick Odin's ass out of his throne. So, let's see what he can do...
Bowl Preview 12: Champs Sports Bowl
Where: Orlando, FL When: December 29, 7:00 Central on ESPN Line History: Opened at 2 but up to 3.5 now. Total is 57. Trips Rights' Blind Line: I made Miami a touchdown favorite. The Computer’s Pick: On a points per play basis it likes the Canes by 4. Conference Strength: ACC When Miami has the...
Bowl Preview 9: The Emerald Bowl
When a collection of unmotivated fast twitch muscles takes on a motivated cellular mass made up of mitochondria, grit, and want-to, who wins? I'd be interested from answers from anyone but Jimmy the Greek and Al Campanis. But that aside, we'll get to see a pretty good case study tonight in San...
jones Top Ten Bowl Preview 2009
Melbourne. The new wife and I sit and drink in a pub by the train station. We share a table with two young Aussies and an old Irishman, whom everyone simply refers to as "Paddy." It may or may not be his name; we are not able to discern that before the young Aussies give us the slip and leave us...
The Takeaway: Oklahoma
Note: This is my last post for Black Heart Gold Pants, so I hope you read all the way through for everything I have to say. I hope you read everything on this site all the way through, actually, but especially this post. Sure, Iowa just lost the Insight Bowl, 31-14. But what was really important...
College Football Bowl Open Comment Thread, with a Poll Question!
Today marks the start of bowl season, so I thought I’d open up a general postseason comment thread, and raise a couple of questions in the process. (There will be a separate thread this evening for tonight’s basketball game.) As you know, last year’s Georgia Bulldogs went 6-7 and failed to beat so...
Utes' season resurrected with two blowout conference wins
It's amazing what two weeks can do for confidence. Just three weeks ago, Utah had endured their third consecutive blowout loss in conference play and looked poised for the first losing season in nine years. Then, during a perfectly timed blackout game against Oregon State, the Utes notched their...

An NCAA task force led by Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman has made some recommendations on how to conduct college football's bowl season. The most controversial recommendation is that a program must have a minimum Academic Progress Rate score of 930 in order to participate. That mark comes out...
