Some Bowl Picks and How Old Am I?

There is some discrepancy as to how old I am. So just like Blink 182, when December rolls around I ask "What's My Age Again?' The federal government thinks I am one age and I have other documentation saying I am another.  My mother likes to make me whatever age she feels. For example, she will greet me on the phone with "I was reading the obituary yesterday (how uplifting!) and did you know Lolly Lafsbarger? I thought you went to school with her. She was 62." What?????? I didn't spend 20 years in the first grade so no, didn't go to school with her. So, I just get to pick the age I want to be. This is one of the bonus qualities of growing up in South GA. Mass confusion and not just about what some people are saying. Does Mr. Webster have a southern dictionary because I can probably contribute some words and definitions?

According to my stats I have some new followers in Vietnam. Either that or someone is trying to steal my identity, but trust me, pick someone with more charm and charisma than yours truly. However, I would love to be on some type of naming committee for Pho restaurants. I used to pass one at my old company called "What the Pho?" which always made me laugh. I also like "Pho You", " Mo Phos", and  "Pho Get About It." Sigh...

Okay, so there are around 12 or so teams with losing records that were invited to said bowls. For these first bowls, I am not even going to check each team's record. It doesn't matter. Looks like there are some new sponsors. Where is the Self Watering Pet Dish Bowl? Without any research, here  are the picks for the first bowl games.....

Gildan New Mexico Bowl-Arizona vs Nevada  What the pho is Gildan? Let me google..http://gildanonline.com/store/  Now, perhaps everyone knew Gildan was apparel but remember I am a recluse so I rely on google to help a girl out. Gildan claims to have some super comfortable underwear so perhaps the players get a supply in their gift bag. Maybe they can tweet about it after the game and tell us. Chafe free! Gosh...I know nothing about either team except that UGA snagged their hoops coach from Nevada. Maybe he should move back? Nevada? Confidence-Lower than Mary Kate Olsen's weight

Famous Idaho Potato Bowl-Toledo vs Utah State. Seriously. Because there is nothing worse than a bowl sponsored by some washed up, has been potatoes. These folks have done it up right and gotten the famous potatoes to sponsor this shizzle.  Would the famous potato bowl have Mario Lopez at half time with the non famous potato bowl having Screech? I'll say Toledo. Confidence- Low mo pho.

San Diego Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl-BYU vs San Diego State  Ah, the credit union combo poinsettia bowl. I would have preferred the Title Maxx Ficus Tree bowl but I don't get to make those decisions. SDS? See above confidence level.

Beef O'Bradys Bowl-Ball State vs UCF-At least the bowl is in St. Petersburg (thankfully not Russia cause it's blustery this time of year) What is Beef o'Bradys? Let me check...Not impressive but they serve limeade, so that is a point of redemption. UCF?

R& L Carriers New Orleans Bowl-East Carolina vs UL Lafayette. I had no idea R&L carriers is based in Ohio. This will come in handy should I ever be able to bamboozle my way on to Jeopardy. I'm going to assume people will be there for the Hurricanes and the purple drank and not the football. UL Lafayette

MAACO Las Vegas Bowl Boise State Versus Washington-So I wonder if MAACO paints the blue turf for Boise State? Will Elvis perform at half time? I like Las Vegas for about 72 hours...Boise State.

Sheraton Hawaii Bowl-Fresno State at SMU- Mahalo!. So June Jones gets to leave Dallas and come back to Hawaii where he coached for several years. I say enjoy the vacay because this bowl sounds as exciting as plain yogurt. Fresno State.

Little Caesers Bowl-Central Michigan vs Western KY. Not really a fan of Little Caesers as I would  prefer a Mellow Mushroom Bowl. Detroit is lovely in December. Bobby Petrino is the new coach for Western KY and he said his affair brought him closer to his wife. I see he's been chatting with Lindsay Lohan's publicist. Western KY

Military Bowl-I love the movie "A Few Good Men" so does that count for something? Bowling Green vs San Jose State, huh? Wow. Sounds riveting. Skip the bowl and see the sights in DC. BG? There is only one Bee Gee left. He's stayin alive.

Belk Bowl-Nasty Nati versus Duke-Holla at the Blue Devils for getting to go bowling versus just always being invited to the big dance. Yeah,  ACC football sucks but  good for them. Tommy Tuberville is saying goodbye Lubbock and hello Bearcats. Cincy

Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl-Baylor vs UCLA  What? Was Oxford Pocket Protectors or Texas Instruments not interested in sponsorship? Baylor spoiled K-State's big party plans and Jim Mora Junior made a splash in West LA. I'll go with RG3's alma mater in a close one.

Snooze. This takes us thru Dec 28.....My humor is low. Fa la la la la la la la.
