As next Friday will be Christmas, I made an executive decision to turn this episode of the Roundup into one gigantic episode full of picks from myself and NDEddieMac, complete with every bowl game found in the HLS/ND Fan Radio confidence bowl pool. Yes, even the mystery FCS bowl.
If you were waiting to pick against Eddie and I for every single game, you got your wish.
It was quite the long marathon, but, with the help of whiskey, we made it through. Some of the bigger headlines around college football are weaved into our picks and can also be found below as always.
Enjoy! It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
The Roundup
In this episode:
- This is why there is an FCS Bowl.
- Eddie was right, this article on last year’s Bahamas Bowl is a must read.
- Our well known Navy nemesis has passed on the BYU job.
- Texas A&M is having some issues at quarterback, namely, not having one–and that isn’t the only problem that they have.
- Former Roundup Guest and HLSRecap Maddness winner, Ramzy, has a solid piece about Notre Dame fandom and how split loyalties often arise from it.
- Just in case our marathon made your head spin, here is the full spreadsheet of all our picks from the season and for every bowl game.
The Booze
Eddie and I were both mixing some whiskey and Coke. He went much higher class than I did, but both are effective. Yes, I basically did this last week, but I have no control over Eddie’s picks and, really, we should do something nice for the guy after going sub-40% on picks.
Moment of Nix
There were some good potential nominees for this week’s Moment of Nix. A new Star Wars movie is out and @taxbastard’s fundraiser for Ms. Silva’s third grade class went very well; however, we will stick to the realm of college football and Tom Herman keeping a promise. He said if Houston won the AAC, he’d get a grill–and not one that cooks food. This is a thing that happened.
