Manny Ramirez wore out his welcome in Los Angeles last season, and didn't exactly set the world on fire after being traded to the Chicago White Sox (two RBI in 24 games won't exactly make people love you). So after burning bridges all across the country, will Manny find a ...

East Carolina (6-6) vs. Maryland (8-4) (-7.5)
Suddenly this game is Ralph Friedgen's swan song for Maryland, and it's not a happy one.
You do have to respect the fact that he made Maryland fire him instead of just retiring or resigning. The guy is in his sixties; this is probably his ...

(22) West Virginia (9-3) vs. North Carolina State (8-4) (+2.5)
It's impossible to tell how this whole mess with Bill Stewart and Dana Holgorsen has affected West Virginia's focus for their bowl game. But I'm going to have to guess anyway.
They're keeping the same coach, so nothing really changed about practice ...

(12) Missouri (10-2) vs. Iowa (7-5) (+3)
I miss the Insight Bowl. It's such a crap bowl game, but I miss it. Indiana's appearance there against Oklahoma State seems like it was eons ago instead of three years, and the Hoosiers got their asses kicked that night too. That's how it ...

While no one is disputing that (now former) San Francisco 49ers coach Mike Singletary should have handled himself differently regarding his on-field tirade directed at quarterback Troy Smith, some seem to agree that Smith may have had it coming.
Mike Preston of the Baltimore Sun covered Smith when he was with ...

Shaq fouled out of the game and apparently wasn't very happy with official Bob Delany. He sounded off following the game to Comcast SportsNet New ...

Air Force (8-4) vs. Georgia Tech (6-6) (+3)
I love this matchup so much. I love that both coaches are pretending like they're going to forget what the forward pass is for this game since we're pretty much guaranteed that there are going to be more than a couple trick plays ...

Florida International (6-6) vs. Toledo (8-4) (-1.5)
Games like this are what make bowl season so awesome. Toledo hasn't been to a bowl in five years, and this is the first bowl appearance EVER for Florida International...and they get to play in Detroit the day after Christmas. Their fans are showing ...

(24) Hawai'i (10-3) vs. Tulsa (9-3) (+10.5)
How about a little recognition for the other other team to win the Western Athletic Conference this year, along with Nevada and Boise State?
It didn't look like we'd ever hear from Hawai'i again when June Jones left after the 2007 season. It seemed crazy ...
