Oh yes, and I was interested in the Orange Bowl for a few minutes last night with a close first half, but upon awaking this morning, I relieved that I hadn't missed anything special.

As a child, I would have loved this extended bowl season, but as an adult, I cannot muster the patience or the time to watch them all.

However, I must say that I'm very excited by the national championship, hoping that Oregon can win with its fast-paced offense. What makes it a great matchup is that I don't think it's going to be easy for them, going up against Auburn's defense and quarterback. But with a month off, perhaps the QB has been busy counting dollars or even spending those 'soon-to-arrive' dollars.

I just hope I can stay up for the game.
