RE: 2018 Bowl Bonanza Thread
Aside from the obvious ones, here are some Bowls I'm interested in due to the matchups:
Saturday, December, 15
Mitsubishi Motors Las Vegas Bowl/3:30 p.m. ET, ABC
Fresno State (11-2) vs. Arizona State (7-5)
Reminds me of our Bowl matchup with a middlin' P5.
Tuesday, Dec. 18
Cheribundi Boca Raton Bowl/7 p.m. ET, ESPN
UAB (10-3) vs. Northern Illinois (8-5)
What an incredible season for the Blazers that can end in 11 wins.
Saturday, Dec. 22
Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl/3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
Houston (8-4) vs. Army (9-2)
Similar to UAB, what a season Army had. Wild matchup with Houston should make this a good one.
Wednesday, Dec. 26
SERVPRO First Responder Bowl/1:30 p.m. ET, ESPN
Boston College (7-5) vs. Boise State (10-3)
Another mid-tier P5 team vs. the upper G5.
Saturday, Dec. 29
Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl/Noon ET, ESPN
No. 10 Florida (9-3) vs. No. 7 Michigan (10-2)
Curious how Jim's Wolverines will play with some of the natives getting restless.
NYD
VRBO Citrus Bowl/1 p.m. ET, ABC
Kentucky (9-3) vs. Penn State (9-3)
Not sure why but this game interests me. A different SEC/B1G matchup for sure.

Mount Union has always been a fun team to watch. Hell of a football program and dynasty.

Too bad for Mt. Union as they have been just downright dominant in recent decades. Consider...
Current coach Vince Kehres is 70-4 (.946) in five seasons at the helm.
13 Claimed National Titles: 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2012, 2015, 2017
28 Conference Titles since 1985
758–386–37 (.657) All-Time
I don't know what they do up there in Alliance but it's been working for them.

RE: 2018 Bowl Bonanza Thread
Tulane jumped out 21 - 7 over Louisiana Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns in the "whatever the heck that is" bowl.
I guess I should be excited about our league getting off to a good start if they can hold their lead. Just not into it as yet.
Ragin' Cajuns is kind of neat nickname. Still not excited.
Score got to 24 - 7 before I could finish my post. Yea!
