It’s BCS Bowl Season- LET THE BETS BEGIN
So, Jay Thompson, Jonathan Dalton and I have already started the trash talking (umm, even the leader of the free world is a longhorn fan). We’ve even gone so far as to place non-monetary bets regarding the University of Texas vs. Arizona State University Holiday Bowl game. Jay and I are both UT alumni and Dalton seems pretty excited about ASU, so how about YOU getting in on this action?
Yesterday, the BCS Bowls were announced and many of us were surprised at how this season ended up. Regardless, here is the wager that ALL college football fans in the blogiverse will be taking:
If UT wins, Dalton will write “I LOVE UT” on his forehead in Sharpie, photograph it, post it on his blog and announce that he loves UT. If ASU wins, Jay & I will write “I LOVE ASU” on ourselves and post it on our blogs. Who else wants in on this? Please commit via trackback!

This is so easy! I am in…
I am a Georgia fan through and through. I will be heartbroken if they lose (big tears).
But, I am Hapa Haole (I am Hawaiian on my dad’s side). And Hawaii went undefeated (big props)went undefeated. Ohana runs through team loyalty. If Georgia has the chance of losing to anyone, I guess I am glad it is them.
If by some chance of fate Colt Brennan (what a cool name that is) leads the Warriors to a win - I will post a big “Go Warriors” on my blog. Sorry - no face writing - but I will own the defeat should it happen.
What I really want to see is Ohio stomp the garbage out of LSU and Illinois tear up USC. Either one of those will make my day.

(1) uh, COLT McCoy? Doesn’t get cooler than that…
(2) no face writing? c’mon, man! I’m just going to bug you on your personal email until you commit!
(3) Watching LSU and USC lose is going to be a BLAST!!!

(1) Don’t make me defend Hawaii…Colt BRENNAN does hold the college record for TD passes. He is also ranked 3rd Overall and 4th in passing yards. I’d give you the McCoy rankings…but evidently he didn’t make the list.
(2) Email me away. Your name in my inbox makes me smile
(3) Ain’t that the truth!

Though I didn’t graduate from UT, I did attend that fine institution. And I lived in Austin for 20 years. I wear UT t-shirts, have a big Texas Longhorn flag in my game room and I openly weep at the sight of the UT Tower lit up in burnt orange.
I’ll be proudly wearing my UT NATIONAL CHAMPIONS t-shirt on game day. Maybe Jonathan will wear his National Champions ASU shirt. Oh wait, there is no such thing.
I oh-so look forward to Dalton and anyone else foolish enough to take this bet sporting a big ol “I LOVE UT” on their forehead!
My lovely bride, being born and raised in Phoenix has a thing for ASU. My son, who was BORN in Austin, also seems to be pulling for ASU as well (don’t worry, we will “talk”). My daughter, also born in Austin will be rooting for the proper team. It ought to be an interesting day in the Thompson household…

Seriously, the best you can do is name drop “W”? Are you kidding me?
Mmmmmmmmmmm … anyone else smell barbecue? Oh wait … that’s Bevo well done:
1) Pre-heat flames
2) Insert pitchfork into Bevo
3) Roast, rotating occasionally
Got that recipe from an A&M Aggie two weeks back …

I’m a Colorado Buffalo alum and the rest of the nation better watch out…Hawkins is building the Buffs back into a powerhouse again.
Plus, who has a better mascot than CU’s own Ralphie!!
Go Buffs beat the Tide!!

There are three things I’ve learned in my life.
1. Never shave with a dull blade.
2. Never answer a wife’s question unless you are SURE of what the answer should be.
3. Never, ever bet on Kansas football.
Now don’t get me wrong. I’ve loved this season and will be rooting like crazy for them. But I’m not to the point of trusting.
Now, anyone willing to talk basketball!

O H. That’s Right, I’m taking the buckeyes. the ohio vengaza tour continues.
Now: Who really thinks Les Miles can coaach? That team should be 7-5 this year, and hoping to snap into the Slim Jim bowl.

Well this one is easy for me. We are a two generation VT family here. So it is VATECH all the way for us. If we hadn’t lost that 1st BC game we might be playing that national championship game. GRRRRR!
