Rather be bowling

The barely anticipated college football postseason is finally here. The BCS seems to be compiled of a room full of number crunching ass hats, thus leaving America with confusion about how the standings are created. RPI, strength of schedule, non-bcs conference: all of that means mumbo jumbo to me, and sheet, I'm a sports fan. All we can derive from the bowl season is that we need playoffs. Every single other sport except for college football has a playoff system. It just seems odd to me that UConn gets to play Oklahoma for a backdoor buttbuster while Stanford, a much better team, gets to show off their skills against a weaker opponent.
What am I getting at here? No, I am not just pleading my case for a playoff system. Rather, I want to highlight what are my top 5 favorite (ironically, also the most embarrassing) bowl games:

1. The Beef O' Brady's Bowl: Who, or rather, what the hell is Beef O' Brady? It can either be a really sheedie canned meat concoction, or it can be a really wealthy Irish drunk. Either or, yikes

2. The San Diego County Credit Union Poinsetta Bowl: Yup, that's what it says. I mean, who wouldn't want to play for the pride of not just a city, not just a city and a bank, but a city, a bank, and a holiday flower?

3. Little Caesars Pizza Bowl: Now this sounds like something that should be featured on the menu, not a  football title. Last I checked the only place they sell Little Caesars pizza is inside of K-marts. Probably the same place where you can buy a replica pizza bowl trophy.

4. Chick-Fil-A Bowl: Whats up with the food bowls? I mean, Chick-Fil-A? What the crap is that. If I am going to be putting my heart out on the field for some food, make it something enjoyable like a cheesesteak or a chef special sushi roll. chick-fil-a? C-r-a-p!

5. Last but not least, the Sun Bowl: Though it’s now sponsored by Hyundai, I’m positively enamored with the Sun Bowl’s older sponsor, Brut cologne. Hyundai is a company made to fail. Imagine strapping up, putting on the eye black, and running out onto the field to shake hands with the CEO of Hyundai? Thats like the best of the worst.

    Actually, Chick-fil-A is a decent fast food chain that originated in the U.S. South East. They pride themselves on doing things slightly different, such as frying all of their foodstuffs in sesame oil, a minutely healthier attempt at cooking for the masses. They're known for being slightly "healthier" than most fast food chains, serving southern-style Sweet Tea, abstaining from harvesting large amounts of beef, and honoring the Sabbath by closing their restaurants doors nation-wide.

    If you wanna go clown on a bowl, try digging your fingers into a taco salad bowl. That idea makes no sense.
