The Sheraton Hawaii Bowl Game

In a couple weeks people from all over the United States and the world will sit in front of their televisions (hopefully HDTV's) and partake in the watching of the NCAA bowl games.

I decided to take a look at the schedule and pick a bowl game that really is quite useless. A game that really serves no purpose but to give the student athletes a free vacation and some SWAG (stuff we all get). Today's distinction goes to the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl. The kids from Boise State (ranked 24th preseaon) and Eastern Carolina will be living it up in Honolulu.

The slobernocker (Jim Ross anyone??) will kick off at 8pm EST December 23 on ESPN. If half the seats at Aloha Stadium (50,000 seat capacity) are filled I will be impressed. For the most part the Conference USA, Pac-10 and WAC rotate filling the spots.

The most interesting part of the crappy bowl games are how much each team gets in payouts. Last year Hawaii and Arizona State put a cool $398,000 in their pocket...I would assume this year will be close to that number. And if you are wondering who the co-MVP was last year...it was Daddo's (aka Lance, B1, Jimmy) favorite quarterback Colt Brennan. For you degenerate gamblers out there...Boise State is an 11 point favorite.

So sit back and watch in dazzling HD as the college football bowl season begins. Here is to hoping that the BCS is destroyed and Auburn prevails.
