Since everyday is a slow news day for a sport that isn't being played, save for the land of Moose and Squirrel and the land of Sickle and Hammer and whatever Europe is famous for (wine and whining?), we will focus our attention to a sport which causes an entirely different kind of heartbreak, college football. Not the whole set, just, you know, the teams that people want to watch, Division 1-A (or Football Bowl Subdivision).
With a number of teams being out of the postseason for a number of reasons: getting caught paying players (Miami), not getting along well with children (UNC), getting along too well with children (Penn State), this lead to some very interesting match-ups for the conference finals. In the ACC, Georgia Tech played Florida State selling a record for the highest number of $2 seats sold in Charlotte, NC outside of an NBA game. The Big East offered up a game of Russian Roulette where whoever lost got to go to the Orange Bowl to face an SEC team. Tomorrow, we'll get to find out if that's Georgia or Florida. Alabama beat Georgia on the final play, describing victory as something that seem miles away, but really it's only five yards. The Big 10/12/10 saw Wisconsin crush the dreams, hopes, and spirits and the Cornhuskers and their next three generations. Wisconsin goes to the Rose Bowl to face Stanford, who won the Pac-12 without John Elway. Good for them.
Coming soon! The travesty that is the 100 bowl games that are to be played.
