A Big Bowl Of Meh

At least it's not relegated to the tomb that is the NFL Network on New Year's Eve like it has been the last 3 years or so.
But the Insight Bowl?!
Yeah, I 'll watch but it really doesn't mean anything. Iowa's season will still leave me with a gigantic Diet Chocolate Soda, horseshit aftertaste in my mouth and beating a decent Missouri team won't take it away.

This is why I hate all these made up bowls. Do they really matter? Quick, who won last year's Sun Bowl? Yep. I had to look it up. Oklahoma apparently beat Stanford. How about the Chick-fil-A or Liberty or Music City? You see where I'm going with this. Hell, the only reason I know who won last year's Insight Bowl was because it was Iowa State and you can't go on an Iowa message board without seeing 20 threads devoted to the "Clowns". Get it? See what they did there?

So, I'll be watching but really just sitting back and taking one last deep whiff of disappointment and say goodbye to the 2010 Iowa Football Shitastic Voyage of the Damned.

Thank God.

(God, I've come to hate that picture.)

Two weeks ago, I spent two hours trying to think of who won the NCCA basketball tournament last year. Music City Bowl? Five hours and 30 guesses and I still think I'd only have about a 3% chance of getting it right.

And yep, the "Clowns" reference sums up the Iowa message board quite nicely. "Corntards" is apparently a new one. You stay stupid, guys. It's what you're good at.

Watchin' it? Your place?

Yeah. It will be a nice cathartic moment. Sit back and MST2K the hell out of the last, sad performance of a horribly acted play.
