I actually counted the number of bowl games listed in today's paper. We're up to a whopping 32, meaning that pretty much any team that managed 6 wins is in a bowl game somewhere (did you know Toronto now has the "International Bowl"? Alas, it apparently doesn't have a Canadian university playing a US university under Canadian football rules).
Oh, the other fun schedule is the MPC Computers Bowl in lovely (and oh so warm) Boise, Idaho. Which features a team you'd expect at such, namely Nevada, vs. (wait for it)...Miami. Yeah, the one in Florida, not Ohio. Which undoubtedly has the players all thinking "This is *not* the bowl game/location we signed up for." Especially because it's actually played on New Year's Eve, so they'll be partying it up hard after the game in, well, Boise.
Boise features the blue turf, though, so that's at least noteworthy and somewhat memorable, even if its participants are usually of the defense-optional variety. And Miami got its coach canned, so I don't think they'll bring more to the bowl game than a few dozen entries in the Boise police blotter.
