The nightcap will probably prove to be much more exciting than the earlier games, and I don't expect anyone to be around to add some quotes. If you do I'll love you for it, if not then have a great night. I have one more post before heading out into the night myself, so stick around for a bit.

You omitted a very vital part of the ESPN telecast of the Chick-fil-A Bowl, Bonnie Bernstein, yet you couldn't wait to mention that useless, overrated Erin Andrews in your Alamo Bowl preview. Please somebody, find some dirt on that slutty blonde airhead so that ESPN can fire her sometime soon.
