Chick-fil-A Bowl

22nd of 35 games, over 2/3 of the way done with this year's quest.  Match-up between South Carolina and Florida State in what used to be the Peach Bowl.

Made it fully through the first quarter and much of the second half.  Yet another game filled with turnovers, this time by South Carolina's quarterback.  Florida State beat their old friend Steve Spurrier and the Gamecocks 26-17.  The old ball coach was without his trademark visor and was wearing some sort of half sleeve white pullover which looked kind of dopey.  I didn't take much more from the game other than that.  

I understand that these bowl games need sponsors but I miss when they had names like the Peach Bowl, the Astro Blue Bonnet Bowl, the Tangerine Bowl and who can forget the Poulan Weed Eater Bowl.  Okay, skip that last one. 

Today's the day - six games starting at noon including my Michigan State Spartans taking on Alabama in the Capital One Bowl.  We're going to see a lot of those vikings today.  Make it through today and the Bowl Quest is fairly easy to complete.

With two games picked correctly Friday my record in ESPN Bowl Mania is now a lousy 10-12 but still in the top 30% of all players.
