The Dirty Dozen (The Bowl Picks Edition)


Greetings from Outer Mongolia!

Okay, so I'm not really in Mongolia; but I am in my wife's hometown of Lafayette, Louisiana dilligently killing time while she is on a working vacation. It's in that spirit and the spirit of the Holiday's (but no actual spirits were involved in the writing of this...yet), that we bring you the 1st Annual Bowl Edition of the Dirty Dozen.

Without re-hashing my regular season success. I believe the number was something like...oh...81-18 on the season, but I digress. Undoubtedly, most of you reading this (hopefully somebody will read it besides me) are involved in a bowl pool somewhere...if not, well...we certainly don't advocate gambling or anything like that. That being said, let's get on with the Bowl Selections:
