Little Caesars Pizza Bowl

Not much to say about this one - I'm doing the morning show fill-in on WGRR while my regular show is on vacation so that means early to bed. 

The Toledo Rockets taking on the Florida International University Golden Panthers in another unnecessary game on the bowl schedule.  "Hey everyone, let's all head up to Detroit for Christmas weekend!"  At least Toledo fans are only about an hour away.


The Rockets jumped out to the early lead and I turned the game off as soon as the first quarter was over.  Evidently Toledo could not hang on as FIU won 34-32 but the real winners were the fans who get this awesome "buy one get one" deal from Little Caesars.

It's only good through Tuesday, December 28th so get on it pizza lovers.


Game Notes:
-After some really great NFL games I was in no mood for this game.  Honestly, how you drum up interest in this game is beyond me - MAC and Sunbelt also-rans.  At least they had the good fortune of the NFL wimping out and moving the Eagles/Vikings game to Tuesday night because of the snow in Philadelphia.


-Speaking of the MAC, here they go again, losing another one.  The conference is now 1-2 in the 2010 bowl season.  The Rockets gave up 65 and 57 points in a couple games and lost 41-2 to Arizona, not exactly bowl game credentials.  And FIU was nothing to write home about starting the season 2-5 before finishing 6-6.


-Monday's game, the Independence Bowl from beautiful Shreveport, Louisiana with Georgia Tech taking on Air Force.  I'm picking Air Force on ESPN's Bowl Mania game, in which I'm doing horribly at 3-5 so far. This one is for fans of the running game - the two teams combined only passed the ball 299 times this season.
