The day after...

The driveway was done by 8 AM this morning, yet the snow continues to still fall (11 inches and counting). With basketball cancelled for today (last week, The Playmaker scored 6 of his team's 12 points in a 12-8 W; The Playmaker's Sister started and scored 2 points in her team's W.), what's on tap?!? An all day fire in the fire place, four college bowl games and about 10 solid college hoop games.

Eaglebank Bowl: Wake Forest vs. Navy -- This should actually be a very good game. Both teams are solid. At times this year, Wake looked like a top 15 team. We'll say, Wake 24 Navy 17. The Playmaker thinks Wake will win, too.

New Mexico Bowl: Colorado State vs. Fresno State. Come bowl season, we always go with Fresno State's Chris Herren Pat Hill. We'll say, FSU 27 CSU 17. The Playmaker thinks CSU will win.

Magicjack St. Petersburg Bowl: Memphis vs. South Florida -- We like SF's coach, Jim Leavitt. (He's a friends of Stoops'.) And since Xavier Crawford graduated, errrrrrrrr, used up his eligibility at Memphis back in the late '80s, we'll say, South Florida 24 Memphis 20. The Playmaker agrees with us on this one.

Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl: BYU vs. Arizona -- Rumors are hot that Stoops' brother, Mike, is on his way from Arizona to take over at...wait for it...Iowa State! (Hmm. Ah, Mike? You may want to rethink that one.) We'll say, BYU 31 Arizona 27. The Playmaker takes BYU, as well.

Enjoy the games! And the weather!
