College Football Bowl Guide, Week 1

Welcome to the 2009-2010 edition of Mascot Bowl Season. This year's matchups will be presented in three weekly installments, culminating with the Marquee Mascot Matchup, Gators vs. Bearcats in the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

Week 1: Featured Matchup

NEW ORLEANS BOWL
Southern Miss Golden Eagles vs. Eastern Tennessee Blue Raiders

At first glance the Eagle looks pretty serious, and the whole flying and talon-wielding thing would normally pull weight. But that's a LIGHTNING-BREATHING, FLYING HORSE.

BLUE RAIDE
RS, 35-21.


Week 1: Remaining Contests

New MexicoBulldogs vs. COWBOYSEven rough and tumble dogs struggle against the six-shooter.
St. PetersburgScarlet Knights vs. GOLDEN KNIGHTSPopular retirement destination favors all things golden.
Las VegasCougars vs. BEAVERSEver so close to roses, the hardworking, bucktoothed Beavs have something to prove.
PoinsettiaUtes vs. GOLDEN BEARSUtes traditionally worship bears, including an annual Bear Dance.
Hawai`iMustangs vs. WOLFPACKWolves in Honolulu? Strange, but horses are easy prey.

  1. I disagree. You over estimate the value of wings on a horse. Flying horses accelerate slowly, and are very difficult to turn. Once a flying horse gets going, it can't really turn or stop. This might be good for a running back, but they will have no ability to stop the Eagles from near constant harassment.

    Plus, they are extremely prone to injury,since the wings readily break under the strain. The lightening bolts require a huge energy expenditure. Coupled with the rigors of flight, exhaustion renders them impotent by the second half. The Eagles then score with impunity.

  2. Is that Blue Raider shooting a lightning bolt out of it's nostrils?

  3. I'm not sure exactly where it came from, but we've got scorched eagle, 42-32. I rest my case.
