2008-2009 Bowl Games

Every year for my own benefit, I list the numerous college football Bowl Games, in the order in which they occur. Also, just for fun, I make a decision as to which team I prefer to win. Some games, I could really care less, but others I do. Certainly, I will be rooting for my alama mater, Northern Illinois in this year's Independence Bowl. To my great surprise, the Huskies earned a bid to a Bowl Game this year, their third in the past five years. Hopefully, the nation will not equate this game with Blagojevich vs. Jindal
