Feliz Ano Nuevo freakitos!!! I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. I've enjoyed my time off but now it's time to discuss a few bowl games that interest me. I'm not going to pick every game that's left because it's too much, however, these are the ones I'm most interested in watching.
Before we start, did you watch the Holiday Bowl last night? I was surprised by Arizona State's lackluster performance and thought they would come back especially after that "illegal touching" penalty debacle. Mack Brown's stepson should be taken out back and beaten due to his stupidity. For those of you who did not watch the game: he reached out to grab the football while it was still in play causing his team a fumble recovery and thus allowing ASU to score a touchdown. In a word: IDIOT! His name is Chris Jesse and I think he deserves a lot of shit for the rest of his life. He's lucky his team won the game.
Off we go:
Music City Bowl - 12/31 at 4 pm on ESPN - Kentucky vs FSU
I'm adding this game because it is hysterical to me that FSU is playing this game minus 36 players. I can't wait to see what the sideline looks like, HA! Without a doubt, Kentucky should manhandle these guys and if they do not, then Kentucky should be taken out back and beaten. Pick: Wildcats
Chick-fil-A Bowl - 12/31 at 7:30 pm on ESPN - Clemson vs Auburn
Look for your Chica at this game. This should be a fun little game as both these teams are pretty evenly matched. It will be refreshing to go to the Georgia Dome and not have to deal with a bunch of thugs on the field and in the stands, just sayin'! Pick: Auburn
Cotton Bowl - 1/1 at 11:30 am on FOX - Missouri vs Arkansas
The first football game of 2008. Why in the world is there a game at 11:30 in the morning? Anyway, I digress, this should also be a great game. I have a feeling Arkansas is going to chew up the Tigers and eat them up for a late brunch regardless of Houston Nutt not being there. Pick: Hogs
Capital One Bowl - 1/1 at 1 pm on ABC - Michigan vs Florida
Florida should destroy the Wolverines, plus it's almost a home game for them. La Chica's pediction for this game? SNORE AND YAWN. Unless you're a Gator fan, this game is going to be boring as they should devour Michigan. Pick: Florida
Rose Bowl - 1/1 at 4:30 pm on ABC - Illinois vs USC
Speaking of snorefest, this should put anyone who's not a Trojan fan right out for the afternoon. I hope Illinois makes a game of it because Ron Zook and his team had a great season but I think the Rose Bowl committee made a huge mistake in not putting Georgia in this game. That would have been great but that makes too much sense. And instead, we the fans have to watch a boring ass game. Pick: Trojans
Sugar Bowl - 1/1 at 8:30 pm on FOX - Hawaii vs Georgia
Everyone keeps telling La Chica that Hawaii will make a game out of this but I just laugh and laugh and laugh because I know that Hawaii is going to run like little girls off the mainland once this is over. I hope I'm wrong, I really do but I really doubt it. Pick: UGA
Fiesta Bowl - 1/2 at 8:30 pm on FOX - Oklahoma vs West Virginia
This game should be interesting now that Rich Rodriguez will not be coaching the Mountaineers. I'm cheering for the Mountaineers but do not see them winning without their head coach and after that horrible loss to Pitt that cost them a trip to the national title game. Not to mention, these OU boys are big, a lot bigger than what WVU has been facing in the Big East, however, look at what Boise State did to OU last year. Pick: OU
Orange Bowl - 1/3 at 8:30 on FOX - Virginia Tech vs Kansas
This game bores me more than any of the others. Plus, Missouri should be in this game not Kansas. Because of that, I hope the Hokies destroy KU! Pick: VT
National Title Game - 1/7 at 8 pm on FOX - Ohio State vs LSU
Why play this game 4 days after the last bowl game? Instead of playing on a Monday night, it could be played on the Friday or Saturday after the Orange Bowl. Ugh! This is the same shit different year: Last year, no one gave Florida a chance and they ended up eating the Buckeyes for dinner. This year, no one is giving OSU a shot and I think that's a mistake. While I do not feel Ohio State is the number 1 team in the country, I doubt Tressel and company take what happened to them a year ago for granted. I think OSU will make this a good game AND Les Miles is an idiot! In the end though, LSU will prove they're a better team. Pick: LSU
Have a wonderful new year and don't drink and drive! Ciaosito.

Feliz Navidad
It's been a rough week for your Chica, kids. I had some dental work done on a cracked tooth and I'm still in pain. Thank goodness for those little blue pills!
I'm going to be out of commission for a couple of days due to the holidays but come on back next week after Christmas day as we start looking at the bowls!
Merry Christmas to all. Ciao!

NFL Fines Falcons
Good for the NFL for fining these morons who "paid tribute" to a convicted dog killer on national television a week ago. I wrote a blog entry about it during the game and thought nothing would come of these yahoos paying homage to Vick, however, the NFL did indeed fine them.

Dolphins and Boobies
God bless the hapless Miami Dolphins and their fans! La Chica almost cried yesterday when the Dolphins beat the Ravens in overtime and finally got a victory this season.
Yes, yes, I know it's a sad state of affairs when a lone victory makes one so happy, but whatever; it feels good. Next week the Dolphins face the Patriots so they should be back to their losing ways. La Chica loathes New England.
As the title of this blog entry implies, we are also going to discuss boobs:
What about Rich Rodriguez leaving his alma mater, West Virginia, to go coach at Michigan? What do you guys think about that? To me, Michigan is not the end all be all so what would make a man leave the university he loves so dearly to go coach at another he has no ties to whatsoever? M-O-N-E-Y. College football is all about money; it's such a business. It's actually sad. Thanks to Nick Satan and Alabama for setting a bar so high last year that pretty soon all college coaches will make more money than God. I think Rodriguez is a boob for leaving WVU to go to Michigan.
Speaking of boobies, my buddy Tara sent me this picture last week of Tim Tebow and his very well endowed "girlfriend". The girl's boobies are HUGE. I am horrible at deciphering when boobs are real or fake so let me know what you guys think about these:

WTF?
Hola freakitos. Greetings from my living room while I watch Monday Night Football. It's actually a good game between the N.O. Saints and the Atlanta Falcons. The only thing bothering me is the fact that there are so many stupid people in Atlanta.
Now, don't get me wrong, I defend the city I grew up in as much as I can when needed but tonight, I'm embarrassed to call Atlanta home. What is the matter with these idiots still wearing Mike Vick jerseys? Not to mention, some of the Falcon players wearing tributes to Vick underneath their jerseys or even on their faces?
It reminds me of last week's MNF game when a lot of former University of Miami players wore #21 somewhere on their person as a tribute to their fallen fellow Cane or current teammate, Sean Taylor. The only difference is that Taylor was a victim defending his family when he was killed as opposed to Vick who ran an illegal dogfighting operation and helped kill innocent animals. He's no hero; do not honor him!
All I can say about these people is they're mental defectives, but it also makes Atlanta look like an idiotic city. For the record, if anyone reads this, I live in Atlanta and I do not condone these morons. I'm embarrassed. It's one of the many issues with this city and I'll leave it at that. Take it how you will. Enjoy the game.......Go Saints!

Dumb Ole' Ravens
La Chica was glued to her television last night watching Monday Night Football in the hopes that the Baltimore Ravens would upset the mighty New England Patriots, it almost happened. But alas, the Ravens made some critical mistakes and committed about 32 infractions and penalties that cost them the game in the end. Ugh.
Now, why am I upset or discussing this on this cold Georgia morning? Your Chica is a Miami Dolphins fan, I grew up on the fish (mammals) and even though we suck this year, they're my team. All my teams suck but that's a whole other blog entry. Regardless, someone needs to beat this Patriots team so that the 1972 Dolphins undefeated season record lives on. I just want them to lose one game and then they can go on to win it all as they most likely will.
Championship seasons are made out of a lot of luck and a little talent; last night the Pats proved this theory. They did not play as brilliantly as they normally do but they still escaped Baltimore with a win. The fans were in it and the defense was in it but their costly mistakes in the last few minutes cost them the game. These were mistakes that do not normally happen, i.e. the timeout that should not have been called and if it hadn't the Ravens would have gotten the ball back because they stopped the Patriots on 4th down. Who does that?? This is definitely New England's year and that's fine but I just want them to lose 1!

BCS Rants
Just as predicted by your Chica and a lot of other peeps, Ohio State slinked their way into another national title game this year. It was pretty much handed to them this year. All West Virginia and Missouri had to do was win on Saturday and they were in. I'll cut Mizzou some slack because they played a worthy opponent but the Mountaineers??
Speaking of West Virginia, give me a freaking break! Rich Rodriguez, you're no big time coach yet. To choke and lose to a sucky Pitt team that way proves you still do not deserve to be talked about as a powerhouse national title contender.
Anyway, it would be easy to go ahead and pick LSU to beat OSU in the title game, but we're talking about Les Miles here. His coaching scares me and even though he has the better team, look out for his poor coaching decisions to botch this up.
And then there is the Rose Bowl: Why would you put Illinois in there to play USC? I know about the Big Ten/Pac 10 tradition in the Rose Bowl but hasn't the BCS done away with all tradition? How great would it had been to see Georgia play against USC in that game? Now, it's going to be a huge snorefest because USC will devour this Illini team.
One last thing, why is Kansas in the Orange Bowl and not Missouri? Who makes these decisions? Most of you do not know La Chica personally or have not known me for as long as the BCS system has been in place (1997), but about 7 years ago I said to a certain friend of mine that as long as the BCS system is in place, it will screw EVERY SINGLE TEAM. Wait and see. This year it screwed Missouri.
