"So, Link, what Bowl Game should I watch?"
"Beats me, sonny. Go ask Jay Heater."
Here's a pan for the one that takes place this afternoon:
26. Poinsettia Bowl, San DiegoDec. 19, 5 p.m. (ESPN2)
• WHO: TCU (10-2) vs. Northern Illinois (7-5)
• TURN ME ON/OFF?: When it becomes apparent after the first quarter that Northern Illinois tailback Garrett Wolfe, the nation's leading rusher with 1,900 yards, can't run against the nation's No. 4 ranked team in total defense (249.5), what's left? You would have more fun planting pointsettias then watching this weed of a bowl. Turn off this mismatch.
He's actually expecting some good matchups; go read if you care about how you spend your scarce TV football time.
Oregon vs. BYU tonight! Won't be able to watch the second half, but it should beat the Poinsettia massacre. In the right direction, I hope.
