The Quest for 35-0 (Part One of Three)

Folks, we are at the beginning of the end of the college football season: Bowl season. Without a doubt the most exciting football season of my lifetime, it's going to be tough to see it end. However, there are still 35 more games to be played before the most dreaded hiatus in all of sports. In honor of bowl season, I've decided to predict every bowl game. Instead of lengthy analysis that would lead to "too long, didn't read" status, I've opted to write a haiku for every single bowl game. For those of you unfamiliar with this form of Japanese poetry, go look it up on Wikipedia because I'm not wasting my time to define it. Let's begin our quest for picking all 35 games correctly with the first ten. (My poetry takes time to craft. It is an art after all. Also, I procrastinated and this is all I could get done before the first bowl game started).

1. Gildan New Mexico Bowl: Washington State over Colorado State

The first of many

Rams vs. Cougars? How wild!

Cougars win shootout.

2. Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl: Fresno State over USC

Carr is a sure bet

Southern Cal prefers roulette

Go with the sure thing

3. Famous Idaho Potato Bowl: Buffalo over San Diego State

The bowl on blue turf

Both lost to Ohio State

Bulls win potatoes

4. R+L Carries New Orleans Bowl : UL-Lafayette over Tulane

Pelican State War?

I like the Ragin' Cajuns

Name is fun to say

5. Beef O' Brady's Bowl St. Petersburg: East Carolina over Ohio

Aargh! the Pirates say

Meow! the Bobcats mumble

Jack Sparrow's team wins

6. Hawaii Bowl: Oregon State over Boise State

Peterson left team

Christmas in Hawaii? Fun!

Beavs win narrowly

7. Little Caesars Pizza Bowl: Bowling Green State over Pittsburgh

Falcons beat Panthers

MAC Champs seem to like Detroit

Are seats five dollars?

8. San Diego Country Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl: Northern Illinois over Utah State

Man! That's a mouthful

Jordan Lynch is hard to stop

His team wins the plants

9. Military Bowl: Marshall over Maryland

Don't have much to say...

Both teams are unknowns to me...

Team with movie wins

10. Texas Bowl: Minnesota over Syracuse

Kill's guys come to play

Would make for good basketball

Gophers are damn cute!
