Terrelle Pryor and four other Ohio State players will miss the first five games of the 2011 season ...

Even in the offseason, the Cleveland Indians are still drawing crowds to Jacobs Progressive Field, home of the least-attended baseball squadron in the league. How, you ask?
Apparently, the organization has built something of a winter wonderland on the field in hopes that they'll pull in some offseason revenue. Lord knows ...

Navy (9-3) vs. San Diego State (8-4) (-4.5)
Let's see, Navy is coming to play in the biggest navy town in the country, only they're playing the home town program with alumni and fans who haven't seen them play in a bowl game since 1998. I'm thinking there is going to ...

(19) Utah (10-2) vs. (10) Boise State (11-1) (-17)
So this is where the 2010 season ends for Boise State? After all that pain and sacrifice and the gut-wrenching loss to Nevada, the Broncos get to go to...Las Vegas? That's a pretty freaking sweet consolation prize. Can't imagine why they wouldn't ...

Maryland fired long-time coach Ralph Friedgen Monday basically so that Mike Leach can be their head coach on Tuesday or Wednesday. They might be classy enough to wait until after the bowl game to hire Leach, but I'd be mildly surprised.

Southern Mississippi (8-4) vs. Louisville (6-6) (-3)

I'm (apparently) the resident college football dork around here, and this first set of bowl games snuck up on me even though we're like a week from Christmas. Not that any of these games are going to light the world on fire, but whatever, you know? It's college football, so ...
