The College Football Bowl Season is Half Over

Bowl Season…kudos to you if you have watched every bowl game up until now. I haven’t had the time to watch all games but I have tuned to almost all games to watch a little. The bowl season is half over as of this writing. 18 down, 18 to go. Some of the earlier games were exciting…New Mexico Bowl with Arizona beating Nevada 49-48…New Orleans Bowl, Louisiana–Lafayette over East Carolina 43-34…but there have been blow outs too. My biggest disappointment being a vet, the Armed Services. Both Navy and the Air Force made it to bowl games this year and both got blown out. Navy lost to Arizona State 62-28 and it wasn’t that close. Air Force was beat by Rice 33-14 and that game wasn’t that close, but at least they made it to the dance.

Three games I am looking forward to, tonight’s Chick-fil-A Bowl with LSU (defense) against Clemson (offense), the Cotton Bowl with Texas A&M (Heisman winner Johnny Manzell) and Oklahoma January 4th, and of course the National Championship with Notre Dame and Alabama on January 7^th.

The National Championship doesn’t end the college football season though…still to come, the College Football All-Star Classic January 18^th and the Senior Bowl January 26.
