IT'S BOWL SEASON BITCHES!!

My favorite month of the year is Decembruary, that magical time between mid-December and mid-January when all of those once-classic, majestic sounding bowl games come out with their new, insane, tongue-tying corporate sponsorship names. This year, we do not even have a single bowl game immune to the intrusion of corporate sponsorship. A few of my favorite:

Meineke Car Care
Gaylord Hotels Music City
Oops! I Crapped Myself Adult Diapers
San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia
Papajohns.com Bowl
Columbia Pictures Presents We Are Marshall
Bell Helicopter Armed Forces
MPC Computers

A few of those are fake. I defy you to tell me what they are without looking them up.

In any case, for better or for worse, bowl season is essentially here and our goal at Football Jesus is to have something on the line for every game from the Tostitos BCS Championship Game (not to be confused with Tostito's other corporate tie-in, the Fiesta Bowl) to the Brut Sun Bowl.

Format's changed, so listen up. Every blogger has 1,000 units to start with. Each game will have three elements to bet on independently, the spread, the money line, and the over/under. There is a minimum of 10 units per bet, maximum 100, increments of 10. Not every game needs to be bet on and not every aspect needs to be bet on. However, if you do not risk at least 1,000 units in the course of the game, you are disqualified (this means you can't squat on your money and wait for the other guy to crap out).
