Picspam, post-annual-BCS-atrocity edition

Ohio State versus Florida for the championship, Michigan robbed. Anything that garners more hatred and animosity toward the BCS is a friend of mine.

That is the biggest rabbit I've ever seen!

Yeah, but KSU gets Rutgers, the pseudo-cupcake of the major teams (a whopping two previous bowl appearances *ever*, both against Arizona State).

Other amusing matchups; Clemson v. Kentucky in the state of Tennessee. Just get Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy to sing the National Anthem and you've pretty much got every redneck angle covered.

Michigan vs. USC in the Rose Bowl. Ah, the return of a once classic and oft-repeated matchup.

Wake Forest vs. Louisville in the Orange Bowl, which undoubtedly has Orange Bowl folk going "Just how did we end up with *these* two in the BCS again?".

but KSU gets Rutgers

This is how emotionally invested I was -- I didn't even know that. Don't much care. Rutgers is ranked, what, thirteenth or so? In the...Texas Bowl? The wha? You sure that actually exists? Boatload of meh. Anything after beating Texas is just disappointing.

Not a lot of interesting storylines in this bowl season. OSU should eat Florida alive -- if Florida ekes out a win, that'll just inflame pro-Michigan disgruntlements (huh, Firefox says "disgruntlements" is indeed a word!), and that's satisfying, too.

KSU got a bowl game? Huh.

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.
