[USML Announce] COLLEGE BOWL POOL - YEAR 24!!

[Richard Robbins]

Have fun Mark.

The Rose Bowl is OK, I guess.  It's not the Cheez-It Bowl, but I suppose it
will need to suffice.

Then again, it's hard to compete with last night's Bad Boy Mowers
Gasparilla Bowl.  What's a Gasparilla?

And I hope that the Jared Birmingham Bowl isn't named for that Subway
pedophile guy, Jared Fogle..
