Last I counted there are over 30 bowl games slated for the 2008-2009 college football season. It is great for my Alma Mater in that we will be in a bowl ga

me this year. I wonder who gets excited about playing in the Poinsettia Bowl? Instead of the fans throwing oranges or roses on the field, will they be tossing poinsettias on to the field? College football has gotten so diluted that it is difficult to reward a team for having a great season. It used to be that only a few teams every year made it to a bowl. It benefited the school with the revenue, and the athletes with a stage with which to prove themselves.Â

Now with all the corporate sponsors it is inevitable that only more games will be added before they are reduced. I wonder if I could get tickets to the PapaJohn bowl this year?
