This!!!

That's totally the Tulane/U LaLa "Cure Bowl."

Totally.

Aside from the obvious ones, here are some Bowls I'm interested in due to the matchups:

Saturday, December, 15
Mitsubishi Motors Las Vegas Bowl/3:30 p.m. ET, ABC
Fresno State (11-2) vs. Arizona State (7-5)
Reminds me of our Bowl matchup with a middlin' P5.

Tuesday, Dec. 18
Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl/7 p.m. ET, ESPN
UAB (10-3) vs. Northern Illinois (8-5)
What an incredible season for the Blazers that can end in 11 wins.

Saturday, Dec. 22
Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl/3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
Houston (8-4) vs. Army (9-2)
Similar to UAB, what a season Army had. Wild matchup with Houston should make this a good one.

Wednesday, Dec. 26
SERVPRO First Responder Bowl/1:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
Boston College (7-5) vs. Boise State (10-3)
Another mid-tier P5 team vs. the upper G5.

Saturday, Dec. 29
Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl/Noon ET, ESPN
No. 10 Florida (9-3) vs. No. 7 Michigan (10-2)
Curious how Jim's Wolverines will play with some of the natives getting restless.

NYD
VRBO Citrus Bowl/1 p.m. ET, ABC
Kentucky (9-3) vs. Penn State (9-3)
Not sure why but this game interests me. A different SEC/B1G matchup for sure.

I hope the Red Wolves of Arkansas State can hold a 22 point lead in the Arizona Bowl.

Mount Union has always been a fun team to watch. Hell of a football program and dynasty.

Great OH program.

Mary Hardin upset Mt. Union 24-16 in the Stagg Bowl to win D3 Championship

Too bad for Mt. Union as they have been just downright dominant in recent decades. Consider...

Current coach Vince Kehres is 70-4 (.946) in five seasons at the helm.
13 Claimed National Titles: 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2012, 2015, 2017
28 Conference Titles since 1985
758–386–37 (.657) All-Time

I don't know what they do up there in Alliance but it's been working for them.

Bump. I corrected one of the time slots and added the line for all games today. I'm definitely interested in our conference mates (Tulane) and the Vegas Bowl.

Tulane jumped out 21 - 7 over Louisiana Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns in the "whatever the heck that is" bowl.

I guess I should be excited about our league getting off to a good start if they can hold their lead. Just not into it as yet.

Ragin' Cajuns is kind of neat nickname. Still not excited.

Score got to 24 - 7 before I could finish my post. Yea!
