Is it over yet? The endless battles between mediocre teams? There have been some memorable moments this bowl season, but the amount of game time reserved for teams that should be home this time of year is dreadful. Just like the Thanksgiving table, where we trudge through seconds and thirds despite the strain on our belts, all the while saving room for dessert (and it's pie!), the bowl season slowly oozes through the holidays with some games as enjoyable as stuffing and some looking more like creamed onions. The end result is the same: we are bloated and sore, too glazed over to be truly content.
The pie is coming, so hopefully we can all rally. They are making us wait another five days for the battle between Texas and Alabama, however. With all of the hair pulling these days about athletes toting guns and coaches transpiring to make the lives of their charges as miserable as possible, the real enemies of sports have gotten away with their crimes. Those execs who had the great idea to turn the bowl season into this prolonged exercise in watching various colors of paint dry and who pulled the determination of the national champion away from New Year's Day must be hunted down. They must be treated harshly and with little or no mercy. When we are done with them and still not satiated, we can then turn our attention to the NCAA fools who sold the marquee games of their sport to the bozos at FOX. They too must be treated with little compassion.
