Bell Helicopter Armed Forces BowlAmon G. Carter Stadium, Fort Worth, Tx.
Houston vs. Air Force
Date: Dec. 31
Time: Noon
TV: ESPN
Line: Houston -3.5
About Air Force: The Cadets losses came to Utah, TCU, BYU, Navy and Utah. Their wins came over much lesser opponents. They still run that pseudo-wishbone thing with all kind of motion and pitches - it's awesome! Is Fisher DeBerry still the coach? What a great name. Who is it now? Oh. It's some guy named Troy.
Intangibles:
B-52: +3
P-38: -2
Falcon thing at halftime: +3
1990 Liberty Bowl: -7
About Houston: The Cougars score 41 points a game and give up 31 points a game. WHAT? I give up. Defense is dead. Just stick 11 corpses in a pile at midfield and save the scholarship money.
Intangibles:
Phi Slamma Jamma: +4
David Klingler: -4
"Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers Number One": +5
Impact Player: Houston QB Case Keenum throws for 397 yards a game has 43 touchdowns and 10 intercaeptions. Of course, this is the pretty much the same offense that suckered the Eagles into drafting that stiff Kevin Kolb. Buyer beware.
Little Known Fact: These two teams already played once this year, which Air Force won 31-28. I guess rematches are inevitable when there are 134 bowl games.
Little Known Fact #2: Last year's Houston coach Art Briles left to go to Baylor. When your coach leaves your program to go to freaking Baylor, you might want to rethink your committment to the sport.
The Pick: Houston 42, Air Force 28

Face it, Ohio State loses a lot of bowl games. So the Buckeyes lost one to Air Force. Was that Earle Bruce or Coop?
Coop.
It only hurts cause I was there.
