As the saying goes, this time of the year is “the most wonderful time of the year.” And that’s not only because of Santa Claus, Hanukkah Harry, and the Kwanzaa gift giver. Everyone knows that it is because the slew of bowl games that invade the airwaves and have college football fans salivating. And even though we haven’t yet gotten into the thick of the bowl season (that comes tomorrow and on New Years Day), the games so far have not disappointed. From the thrilling game that Purdue and Central Michigan put on in the Motor City Bowl to the craziness we saw in the Pacific Life Holiday (Texas vs. Arizona State), this bowl season has yet again proved to be special. But what all college football fans look forward to the most are the BCS bowl games- the best of the best squaring off in what normally are the best games. *NOTE: INSTEAD OF POSTING ALL OF MY PICKS AT ONCE, I WILL POST THEM TWO AT A TIME, STARTING WITH THE ROSE BOWL AND SUGAR BOWL, THEN THE FIESTA AND ORANGE, AND FINISHING WITH THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP*

As is tradition at this point, the Creatures make preseason predictions for each major sports season.

Thought of the Day

1e52a2da0d944daea7fbdaacf3505217Because I was spending my last day in Toronto, I was able to actually see Saturday night football on Canada’s version of the World Wide Leader, TSN, because of course Time Warner Cable doesn’t pick up the NFL Network. Anyway, I was really impressed by the Giants, right up until the 3rd Quarter when they completely bent over and took it from Brady and Co. You all know how strong our both Barney and my dislike is for the Pats, but 16-0 is impressive nonetheless. Also, congrats to Brady and Moss for setting the records for passing and receiving TDs in a season.

8f139c2e97f6482fb925602267e757a9As I mentioned yesterday, last night was spent at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. After a week long stay visiting family in the area, I was relieved to be taking in some sporting action while in the city. As it happened, my uncle had purchased 6 tickets for the Leafs-Rangers for some of my family and I. We had great seats, and what transpired was great for me to watch.
