Ohio State is taking on Texas tonight in the Fiesta Bowl. I am not too optimistic about the Buckeyes chances, but anything is possible. They are a good team that has been flat a few games this year. Texas, on the other hand, is a great team that lost one game in the final seconds and got screwed out of the National Title game. Texas is going to have a huge chip on their shoulder, but Ohio State is going to have a 'nothing to lose' mentality towards the game. I don't think anyone, outside of Ohio, thinks that the Buckeyes can win tonight. I think that the spread is 8 points. Hopefully, Ohio State will have a good game and proove to the country that the Big Ten can still roll with the big boys.
One thing that really gets me is all of the weird names of the bowl games. It's less about the sport and more about sponsorship and money. Not the Orange Bowl, it is the FedEx Orange Bowl. Not the Gator Bowl, it's the Konica Minolta Gator Bowl. The best is the Capital One Bowl. they aren't even trying to make it look like anything but a bowl game created to make mo' money. Let's not forget the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl. I think they should call that one the Focker Bowl. It kind of makes you wonder about the games without sponsorship in the name: Motor City Bowl, Emerald Bowl, Independence Bowl........aren't these games good enough for some company to glom on to? I also can't believe the number of bowl games. There are 40 or more bowl games and only 120 or so teams that are able to play in the games. So, 8o of the 120 teams get a bowl game. Seriously? Why not just let everyone get their 'participant ribbon' bowl game. Just think of the possibilities. M*ch*g*n could have played in the Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Bowl this year.

College football is about sponsor dollars... what you should be focusing on is not the sponsors, but the schools and how they don't share their "winnings" with the players. So quit the dumbass commentary, and focus on that crime.
Wow. Thanks for calling me a dumbass. You think college players should get paid? Isn't the free education, free food, free housing and top training facilities that help them hone their abilities enough to earn millions of dollars enough of a payment? Not to mention they get treated like gods on campus. I know that college football is all about money. I was just commenting on how rediculous it is that almost every team gets to go to a bowl game these days. Next time, maybe grow some balls and post your name instead of calling me a dumbass anonymously, you ignorant hump.
