Bowl Challenge - 3 down 31 to go

Off to a flying start in the Bowl. This truly is the most unpredictable time of the year. In retrospect, I picked FRESNO over WY simply becuase the talent level appeared to be so different...bad reasoning. Talent has no bearing on the outcome of bowl games. Who is excited to be there and who isn't...that's the bottom line. Especially when getting 10+ points!

Standings so far:

MK - 2
MH - 2
MC - 2
AW - 1
GR - 1
JR - 0
JG - 0
MR - 0
SS - 0

Still 97 of the 100 points left, but for some reason it feels REALLY shitty to start 0-3, even when these games have virtually no impact on the winner.

What's on tap next?

Our first big 2-point game, the Las Vegas Bowl on TUESDAY night

BYU-OREST
BYU is playing in this game for the 5th year in a row, OREST doesn't lose bowl games...ever. I can see the letdown angle for the Beavers after missing out on the Rose Bowl, but I think their great bowl history makes up for that. BYU was hoping for really big things this year, lost all of their big conference games, and has to settle for year 5 in a row of the Mormons in Vegas...kind of funny if you think about it.

Here's our pick breakdown:
BYU: JG, MK, AW, MC
OREST: JR, MR, GR, MH, SS

Good times.
