The SABOWL is off to a great start!

My wife is perfect (I knew that already but what a great first SABOWL day for her…also I’ll get no points for this statement because my wife is not a model SABOWL competitor and rarely graces the beauty that is www.SABOWL.com) and everyone (except Michael) is looking like they have a shot at winning this year.

Normally we’re all pretty positive at this point in the SABOWL but I’d like to take this opportunity to air some beefs.

(1) My beef with the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s St. Petersburg bowl…
Seriously a 2 PM EST start time on a Monday? C’mon man. I know you don’t want to compete with Monday Night Football and thought you’d have a better shot competing against Jerry Springer and crappy soap operas but this is pathetic. Mr. Beef ‘O’ Brady my recommendation is not put your name on a bowl that airs at a time that allows for 18 people to watch it nationwide.

(2) My beef with the Locker Room…
Seriously people, the SABOWL starts and the Locker Room has 6 comments (MVLRC, most valuable locker room commenter, shoutout to Michael with 4 of the 6. I don’t want to call into question everyone’s SABOWL spirit but c’mon everybody.

(3) My beef with Boise State…
Seriously, if you’re going to have a bright blue, headache inducing field…you should be forced to also play in blue face paint a la the Blue Men group. C’mon Boise State.
– Side note to this beef: Boise State (+4.5) takes on Oregon State tonight at 8 PM EST in Hawaii. The current SABOWL leaders (Jim, Emily, & Rebecca, 4-1) all chose Boise State so there is an opportunity for Rookie Joe and Joey, who picked Oregon State to join the leadership pack .

This looks about right…

(4) My beef with Bowling Green alumni Orel Hershiser and Scott Hamilton…
Seriously, Pitt’s alumni cover the costs for their students to enjoy the Little Caesar’s bowl and you guys can’t turn your figure skating and baseball earnings into tickets for Bowling Green students? C’mon Orel and Scott, I’m calling you out…tickets barely cost more than a delicious Hot-N-Ready Little Caesar’s pizza.
– A SABOWL beef Did you Know: Types of beef you can get on a Little Caesar’s pizza include: none, all meat toppings are from pigs.
– Side note to this beef: Bowling Green (+6.5) takes on Pitt Thursday at 6 PM EST. Commentary about impact on SABOWL standings to come…

(5) My beef with the poison Poinsettia myth…
Seriously everybody, I understand that saying poison poinsettia is pretty fun (that is if you know how to pronounce poinsettia which I don’t but thats a secondary beef at this point) but the myth that poinsettia are poisonous to children and animals causes a lot of people to miss out on these beautiful plants. C’mon myth believing people (*admittedly reaching on this beef).
– Side note to this beef: Northern Illinois (+2.5) takes on Utah State Thursdayat 9:30 PM EST. Commentary about impact on SABOWL standings to come…

Alright folks, I feel better having gotten these beefs off my chest. Now its your turn, lets hear your beefs in the Locker Room!
