The Slipper Still Fits.... Kinda.

Last night's Orange Bowl proved that David still has something on Goliath.

Kansas came into Miami with the mindset of being the bigshot, not the underdog, but critics and so-called experts still doubted their chances in the game vs. VaTech. The Jayhawks didn't see themselves as the Cinderella, but as the team that absolutely deserved their spot in the BCS (I still think Mizzou shoulda gotten a spot over 'em, but what can ya do?)

The Jayhawk D stepped up major in last night's game, neutralizing the VaTech offense, something that Kansas struggled to do all season long. Led by junior Aqib Talib (who plays both sides of the ball), Kansas made their case as a national power by controlling the clock and the score for nearly the entire game, and beating the Hokies 24-21.

But, on the other side of the spectrum, Hawaii showed their WAC schedule incompetance, in an embarassing loss to Georgia in the Sugar Bowl 3 nights ago, by the tally of 41-10. Colt Brennan showed many pro scouts his flaws as a QB, like the fact he becomes deathly afraid of defenses of any team on the eastern side of the Mississippi.

I guess every Cinderella season can't end like Boise State's or George Mason's, but Kansas keeps that hope alive for every other small fry in NCAA sports. Who knows, maybe Idaho will shock the world next year and make it to the BCS National Championship Game.

Its Bowling Season

If you watch ESPN in the month of December, which I'm willing to bet you do, you have seen all the Capital One Bowl Week commercials. They always try to make it seem that bowl week(s) is the best time for college football. Their argument is based on the belief that only the best teams are playing. But with 64 teams making bowl games, this is definitely not the case.

Having said that, I have to admit that their are some pretty sick games every year during bowl week.

Vince Young is Superman


Best. Interception. Ever.


And of course, the illest game I’ve ever seen



So if you want to catch some good games in the next couple of weeks, here is a small list of games worth watching.

Holiday Bowl: Arizona State vs. Texas (December 27)- one of the few non-BCS games involving 2 top-20 teams. Arizona State would be in a bigger bowl, but they got eaten up by USC.

Liberty Bowl: UCF vs. Mississippi State (December 29)- OK, so I don't care about either team at all. Still, UCF's running back, Kevin Smith, is going to rush for over 2,500 yards for this season and this is your only chance to see him.

Outback Bowl: Tennessee vs. Wisconsin (January 1)- Usually I'm not a big fan of bowl games named after restaurants but this game involves the second best from the SEC and Big 10. Second place is first place for losers.

Cotton Bowl: Missouri vs. Arkansas (January 1)- The most exciting player (RUN DMC) vs. the most exciting offense. What's not to like?

National Championship: LSU vs. Ohio State (January 7)- Even if you think this season was way to confusing and the BCS sucks, you still have to watch the national championship. Its unAmerican not to.
