Horned Frogs rule!!!

College bowl season is upon us! The first few bowls were played last weekend, but, in my opinion, tonight is when it really kicked off. Going into tonight's game between TCU and Boise State are two of the top three teams not involved in the championship bowls, one of which is undefeated. This Poinsettia Bowl was my most anticipated game other than the national championship. I really wanted my hometown team, TCU, to win and show that their football program should be taken seriously.

To make the bowl season a little more entertaining, I set up a bowl game pick-em with fifteen games that guys entered for a postage stamp per pick-em ticket. Despite a few guys' predictions that nobody would get in, I was able to get twenty-three tickets sold for a nice little jackpot for the winner. These next couple of weeks should be filled with excitement as people cheer for their picks instead of just arbitrarily choosing a team. It also ensures that more college football gets watched in my dorm - a real plus.

I got back from Bible study tonight to see TCU down 13-0 five minutes before the half. Apparently, my Horned Frogs looked pretty ugly before I came in. Luckily, the Frogs led a charge down field just before halftime to cut Boise State's lead to six. The second half saw the Frogs do what they do best - defense - and take the lead 17-13. The rest of the game was almost all TCU as Boise State managed to get only a field goal. Two interceptions by the Frogs, one as the final seconds ticked away, insured a TCU win and the longest winning streak in bowl games (4) in TCU history. A perfect way to start the end of the season.
