We get another full day of Bowl Games and some pretty good matchups. I'm going to throw up the Post Season Pammy Top 10 after this post and put up the three later matchups after that.

"He can find the hole and he explodes through it." - Tim Brant (Via fairplay)

An Oklahoma D-Lineman allegedly stole a coat from a Burlington Coat Factory in Arizona & got sent home from the Fiesta Bowl. Robert Smith's reaction: "Now you know you don't need no coat in Arizona."

Hilarious.

Wow.....5 Bowls today. This was the day I dreaded. Let's see what I can put together. We'll go two, two, and one in the previews. The spreads are Clemson -9.5, Oregon St. -3.5, S Carolina -5.5, Texas Tech -6, Purdue -1. Feel free to post your picks in this spread and good luck.

The Gaylord (Focker) Hotels Music City Bowl presented by Bridgestone
(Longest. Bowl Name. Ever)
Nashville, TN- LP Field
1 PM EST





Kentucky (7-5) v. Clemson (8-4)

Weather: Mostly Cloudy 46 Degrees, 10% chance of Rain

Past Results (8):

Dec. 30, 2005	Virginia 34, Minnesota 31
Dec. 31, 2004	Minnesota 20, Alabama 16
Dec. 31, 2003	Auburn 28, Wisconsin 14
Dec. 30, 2002	Minnesota 29, Arkansas 14
Dec. 28, 2001	Boston College 20, Georgia 16
Dec. 28, 2000	West Virginia 49, Ole Miss 38
Dec. 29, 1999	Syracuse 20, Kentucky 13
Dec. 29, 1998	Virginia Tech 38, Alabama 7

Player(s) to Watch: Florida State's DT's Broderick Bunkley and/or Clemson's RB #28- CJ Spiller

While Justin Davis has more carries and total yards....CJ has the averages. He averages 7.4 yards per carry, and is one of the most explosive combo backs in the country.

Kentucky's QB #12- Andre Woodson

Woodson has some great numbers, but the problem with him seems to be the "big game". Against better competition Woodson hasn't necessarily floundered, but he hasn't taken over. Best games of the season.....Central Michigan, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State. He only had one good game against a better opponent, but still lost (Louisville)

Deciding Factor(s): This game is all about Clemson's rushing game. I can't even project how many yards they will pick up, but it's going to be a ton.

Interesting Fact: Previous sponsors of the bowl game have included American General Life & Accident (now a subsidiary of AIG) in the inaugural 1998 game, and the now-defunct "homepoint.com" in the 1999 game. (Wikipedia)

Spread: Clemson -9.5, O/U 58

AA's Pick and Analysis: Clemson's rushing game should prove too much for Kentucky who gave up 40 points to Louisiana Monroe. The O/U on Clemson's rushing yards is 245.5, and I think the will crush this as long as Kentucky keeps it close in the beginning of the game.

With that said....I'm still taking the points. Clemson doesn't ever blow any one out of the water.

Prediction Clemson 28-24

The Brut Sun Bowl
(Worst. Bowl Sponsor. Ever)
El Paso, TX- Sun Bowl Stadium
2 PM EST





Oregon State (9-4) v. Missouri (8-4)

Weather: Partly Cloudy 30 Degrees, 20% chance of Rain

Past Results (Too many to count....the Bowl started in 1935):

Last 10.....

Dec. 30, 2005	UCLA 50, Northwestern 38
Dec. 31, 2004	Arizona State 27, Purdue 23
Dec. 31, 2003	Minnesota 31, Oregon 30
Dec. 31, 2002	Purdue 34, Washington 24
Dec. 31, 2001	Washington State 33, Purdue 27
Dec. 29, 2000	Wisconsin 21, UCLA 20
Dec. 31, 1999	Oregon 24, Minnesota 20
Dec. 30, 1998	TCU 28, Southern Cal 19
Dec. 31, 1997	Arizona State 17, Iowa 7
Dec. 31, 1996	Stanford 38, Michigan State 0

Player(s) to Watch: Florida State's DT's Broderick Bunkley and/or Oregon State's RB #26- Yvenson Bernard

Bernard is the main cog for an Oregon State offense that can't thrive without him. When he gets 2o carries they win (all except one game...Boise State).

Missouri's Entire Team

About 20 players have had the flu over the past week. They'll need their energy to keep up with Oregon State.

Deciding Factor(s): Like I said before.....if Bernard gets 20 carries the Beavers win.

Spread: Oregon State -3.5, O/U 53

AA's Pick and Analysis: I'm all over the Beaves in this one. Missouri will come out slow and I don't think an entire team of sickies can last the full game.

Prediction Oregon State 27-14
