I can't get the page to load. All I saw was this...

"Fresno State always puts forth a good effort in games that are on national television."

In terms of games you foretasted:

1-Ryan Mathews (Fresno) lead the nation this year in rushing, but you gave him no love.

2-BYU will not hit the strip. While they are 2-2 in Las Vegas, they play well.

3- I don't think USC want to play in the Emerald Bowl, that is big Tank.

4- Chic-Fil-A Bowl will be closer due to better coaching.

5- Capital One Bowl: I say the opposite, Les Miles (Hat) has more talent and speed on defense not to lose.

6- Allstate Sugar Bowl: The Gators may be really slumping:

Sure he did. He said Fresno always plays well on TV. That type of analysis doesn't grow on trees you know.

And I did hit refresh Tank. No luck. I'll try again later.

Even Fresno State deserves more than that. If not the team, remember where (some) of us eat fruit/vegetables that are from Cali,

I previewed 37 games while preparing for a 10 day trip to Idaho, and going to work every day. I challenge you to come up with more in depth coverage of the worthless New Mexico Bowl.

Next year (if I am still on this board), would you like me to "challenge you"? I do not post previews here, but I do give information via data to my friends. You may have previewed games, but you have not looked at many teams for the last 2-14 weeks. If you have issues with people talking about your picks, then never post. If you want to try to be really good, then spend the $8 a year before and get knowledge here:

I asked for comments and your picks

Not Nit Picks

There are not mant amateur sites that went this far to pick every bowl.

First off, you said picks and comments. You claim to provide "analysis" and then it consists of "well they play well on TV." Did you really believe no one would say something about that? Knowing this place the way you do, what did you figure the odds were of no one making a smartass remark? If you don't want comments then don't ask for them.

Second, if it's a "worthless" bowl then why did you even bother?

Finally, and I mean no offense by this, if people are looking for serious coverage of, well anything, my guess is your E-Cyclopedia isn't at the top of the list. So either have fun with it and let everyone else have fun with it too or keep it to yourself I guess.

Lighten up Francis. We're just having fun. Luckily for you, I haven't had the chance to look at your Rose Bowl preview yet. Still, I already have an idea of what it's going to say. Do you think there's a chance I might make a comment or two about it after I read it?

I'll be right back....

OK, I read the Rose Bowl preview. I think you were very fair. I hope you are wrong but I can't argue with your logic. Well done.

I've gotta seriously disagree with your Hawaii Bowl pick. It may be June Jones old stomping grounds, but it's also a bowl and an atmosphere that the Wolf Pack are very familiar with. That and Nevada has THREE thousand-yard rushers. And after a rough three game start, they put up at least 30 points per game from there on out, including dropping over 60 points FOUR times. No way SMU holds Nevada to 20 points.

You forgot Ole Miss' score in the Cotton Bowl.
