With so many coaching changes and the continued controversy (although not compared to Mike Leach’s in Lubbock, Texas at the moment) on both sides of the field, I would not touch this game with a 49-and-a-half foot pole. However, if you have a gambling problem I recommend you seek professional help or, if you must, go with the Gators because this still the SEC’s Florida Gators and the Big East’s Cincinnati Bearcats and based on talent it should be a Georgia-Hawaii Sugar Bowl repeat from two years ago, but with so many question marks it might turn into last year’s Alabama-Utah matchup.
I’m not picking the Ole Miss-Oklahoma State Cotton Bowl because of a conflict of interest (maybe, maybe not, but either way I don’t want to jinx the Rebels’ bid for back-to-back bowl wins. However, I will include a Cotton Bowl recap in my Ole Miss season-in-review after the season is over.). Preston McClellan will also soon be posting a recap from today’s Memphis-Tennessee basketball showdown and also preview the upcoming Liberty Bowl, pitting the C-USA’s champion East Carolina and the SEC’s Arkansas.
There will be bowl games on all day tomorrow, but I also suggest checking out the NHL’s Winter Classic from Fenway Park (Boston vs. Philadelphia) and also a top-10 battle of unbeatens in college basketball between Purdue and West Virginia. Here’s to an entertaining day in sports to begin a new year and also a new decade.
