Wow, ladies and gentleman! What a SABOWL offseason it has been. Marked with excitement, controversy, scandal, smugness, disappointment, jealousy, joy, and familial love – those are just a sample of what we’ve experienced and a foretaste of the themes we are going to see at work over the next few weeks. In anticipation of that, I proudly declare that the SABOWL XIII Locker Room is now open!
As we jump into the excitement today, I feel I must let you know the SABOWL has run into some tough situations over the past few months and we are grateful that some prominent coaches have stepped up to defend the SABOWL’s glory.
The first incident occurred when an unnamed SABOWLer woke up from a glorious dream in which they were proudly hoisting the SABOWL above their fire place. They woke up loudly exclaiming “Finally, she’s mine, all mine!!” You can imagine the disappointment when loved ones had to break the news that it was all a dream! I don’t want to go too much into what followed other than to share Jim Harbaugh’s defense of the SABOWL.
Secondly, an interviewer became aware of the SABOWL’s coverage of Mike Gundy and asked him about what he thought about the SABOWL’s flattery of his coaching successes. In true Mike Gundy style, he thought the 3/4s SABOWL site was inaccurate fiction that embarrassed him. He went on to say that he doubts that the SABOWL trophy itself has offspring before stating the following:
Lastly a little bit of praise. After ripping apart the college playoff system, Mike Leach was shown a picture of the SABOWL mascot.
We loved his response:
We’ve got a great season ahead! Stay tuned today as we get spreadsheets uploaded and have a great SABOWL kickoff today. See you in the Locker Room SABOWLers!
Crickets in here…

Shoutout to Jonathan on his spreadsheet work! He took it up a few notches this year, I anticipate this thing will be a part of a Google Sheets curriculum at community colleges around the country in the coming months.
That’s not a dig at community colleges in any way, those are the places where I envision useful things like Google Sheets skills are taught.
I’m just glad my masters in Instructional Technology can help somewhere. My main motivation in choosing the program is helping to make the Sabowl great again. Just wait the best is yet to come.
We have a spreadsheet!?!
Would it be possible to have the spreadsheet automatically updated. Otherwise, once Jonathan is out of contention (typically the first day)-it takes 4-5 days for it to be updated.
I’m not the only one with access to the spreadsheet.
You just wait. SABOWL XIII has been circled on my calendar for the past 13 years. I had 12 years of trial and error built into my strategy. This is the year.
That’s cold
Does Michael get the first callout for smugness for SABOWL XIII? Starts 4-1 and jumps on the high horse.
My goal is to offend everyone at some point.
NC A&T covering at halftime!
NC A&T rolls off the tongue nicely, I’m expecting big things out of them.

I have always disliked everyone.
I dislike everyone that has more Sabowl Championships than me
We can grant everyone pne win and go from there.
How does your wife feel about that?
I doubt she will read this. She is too busy putting together Christmas cards.
Someone send me her cell phone #.
This made me lol!
If Alcorn hangs in there it will be the first time ever the spread actually work with me.
It is a new year. You will learn to love the spread.
This sounds like it should be a fortune cookie.
“You will love to learn the spread”
Can we make these available in the store?
Could this also apply for Ga Tech fans?
Can fortune cookies have icing?
Never going to happen.
It is very quiet. Guess some people have lives outside the Sabowl.
Really quiet. Everyone must have lives outside the Sabowl.
Those people should be docked a game win for every post they don’t comment on.
Just 88 more posts needed Josh.
Nice to see Utah State taking care of business.
Crap – I’m going to take a break from commenting to prepare my SABOWL concession speech.
Very dissapointing that NC A&T settled for a 2 point victory. Dont they realize that Sabowlers are depending on them!
Um….can I change my North Texas pick? Maybe a new rule – one mulligan per Sabowl.
Not a bad idea Danny!
Might 2 just today.
Louisiana going for it on 4-10 – thank you.
Tulane stinking up the next possession – priceless.
Void last comment.
Las Vegas Bowl coming down to a good spread finish.
Nevermind.
Is the toilet bowl still around? Just send to me.
Anybody actually seen the toilet bowl lately?
I think I earned it last year but never saw it.
You did.
I don’t know if anyone ever notices this but the spreadsheet is always ordered using last years standings.
