*****GMAC BOWL *****

Mobile, Ala.

Memphis (8-3) vs. Bowling Green (8-3)

I am hoping Memphis wins (Go Tigers!), but I think Bowling Green is too strong. Memphis has NO defense and a great offense.

More like three, but I peared them down for all of you...hopefully this is the only one we need.

Is anyone going to any Bowl games? Last year, I went to the Hawaii Sheriton Bowl (my dad lives there... Navy) to see Hawaii beat Houston in triple overtime... one of the best games I've ever seen. Hopefully, they'll beat down UAB this time. Go Timmy!

I was planning on going to the Peach Bowl for UF/Miami. But then today I got a call from UF that they want to pay my intramural flag football team's way to the national championship tourny in New Orleans, which runs from Dec. 29-Jan 3rd so I'll miss the Peach Bowl.

Good luck in the flag tourney Free Bagel. I love playing flag football.

Hey yankees or anyone else know where I can set up this sort of pick em' thing? I'm sure I have plenty of friends who would love to do it. Does yahoo do one? Or any other free site?

[CC]

That got me thinking, how about we do one here? If there is enough interest then I will set one up.

[goleafsgo96]

Id do it.
