Welcome back, all you fans of the college gridiron! This year marks the FIFTH annual Bowl Pick 'Em. The Pick 'Em is getting so big, it makes Mark Mangino look like Todd Reesing. (The Kansas joke is for you, Ed Jones). So I've decided to take this thing to the World Wide Interweb by creating this blog. Hey, here's one for you:
Q. How many bloggers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A. None. Bloggers don’t change lightbulbs, they change the world.
Anyhow, it will now be easier for you to check the standings on a daily basis and talk trash to complete strangers, all without flooding someone's work inbox.
I'm thinking about going with an old school WWF theme this year. Aaaahhh, the 1980's. Better Off Dead came out. Women wore shoulder pads and leg warmers. The Yankees went the entire decade without winning the World Series. And wrestling was as real as it gets.
We'll kick it off with this shot of George "The Animal" Steele. I bet you didn't know that George was a football player at Michigan State back in the 1950's. Look at this gem I found on Wikipedia: "A true
crazy heel, he acted like a wild man in the ring, tearing up the turnbuckle with his teeth and using the stuffing as a weapon as well as sticking out his green tongue (an effect accomplished by eating green Clorets
breath mints).
[3] The Animal had a stooped posture and a hairless head, but a thick mat of fur on his back"
More to come as Bowl Season approaches...
