How Many Hours Is 2pm To 8pm

Yous've non been paying attending—and why would you take been?—but three OTE writers take recently become fathers, the ii of the states for the first time.

Of course, every bit we all know, that comes with loads of spare time while the little murphy just lies there and requires no attending or help from us, no sir.

What follows is a set of previews of college football basin season, written thank you to all that extra time we currently accept laying effectually, with a bonus guest:

Bowl Games

New Orleans Bowl

Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (viii-5) vs. South Alabama Jaguars (10-2)

Wednesday, Dec. 21 | 8pm | ESPN | U.s. -viii | O/U 54.5
Caesars Superdome, New Orleans, LA

MNW: Have we ever asked why, among the trend of dumping French fries, Frosted Flakes, and mayonnaise on coaches, the New Orleans Bowl has not adopted a tradition of soaking the coach in a Gatorade cooler full of Hurricanes?

Because that would be awesome.

I have non had an enjoyable mixed potable since the kid emerged, and I'thou starting to miss it. Someone bring me a thousand margarita.

Green Akers: Why stop there when we could just pour a cauldron of bubbles hot gumbo on the winning coach? And then there's a sponsorship opportunity for the first aid response likewise: "And as the paramedics blitz to Kane Wommack's aid, brought to you by Northrop-Grumman,,,"

Hm. Have I had alcohol since the kid was born? Oh sure, I made a batch of boozy eggnog to take to thanksgiving. Which anybody except my father in police force declined to even endeavour because nobody at the gathering wanted anything spicier than ketchup, and then he and I split the whole batch.

Bradley Cooper Holding a Fake Baby in American Sniper:

Hilltoppers? That's some good shit. Jen Lawrence is from Kentucky. You know that right? Winter'south Os was her large breakthrough. Yous seen that? Damn, that'southward a cold ass movie right in that location. John Hawkes as Teardrop? Fuck, homo, that is majuscule A Acting. That dude is an actor's actor.

Armed Forces Basin

Baylor Bears (6-six) vs. Air Force Falcons (9-three)

Thursday, Dec. 22 | 6:30pm | ESPN | Baylor -half-dozen.five | O/U 49.5
Amon Thou. Carter Stadium, Fort Worth, TX

MNW: Why does every goddamn stadium in the Metroplex need a bowl game?

The Cotton wool Bowl has one. JerryWorld gets one. Frisco Stadium—dwelling house of the Dallas Fire or whatever they are now—gets both the Frisco Bowl and the FCS Championship. This one's at TCU's house. The FirstResponder Lightning Strike Guaranteed Bowl is at SMU's racial enclave. Pretty sure the D-Ii natty is at that opulent high school football stadium in McKinney. It'due south but a thing of time before Apogee Stadium at UNT is hosting the Buc-ee'southward Bowl, featuring the 5th place squad from C-USA and the tertiary-identify squad from the soon-to-be-FBS abortion that is the ASUN-WAC Alliance.

All I'm proverb is move one to Denver or something.

Green Akers: Yous'd recollect a diversity of destinations would be appealing in that it would encourage fanbases to turn out to a identify their team wouldn't be probable to see again. Beyond cramming 10 bowls each into Orlando and metro Dallas, yous then have Baylor going to a city where they play a conference game every other year, and nosotros expect their fans to give a crap?

It's merely another reminder that these games aren't fabricated for the fans in the slightest; the whole setup is Television set-guided. So the circulate turns effectually and starts talking about the Playoff by halftime of all these other bowls at the absolute latest anyway.

BCHFBAS: I bet those Air Force guys are pissed off that Top Gun was a Navy movie. You lot know, when I was researching for American Sniper I learned pretty quick that Marines don't similar to be reminded that they're not an independent branch of the armed forces. Instead, they're technically part of the Navy. But information technology's right in that location in the name: Marines. Every bit in mariner. C'monday man, just accept information technology. You lot can nonetheless be a bad donkey. I mean Navy Seals are the shit, right?

Independence Bowl

Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns (vi-6) vs. Houston Cougars (vii-5)

Friday, December. 23 | 2pm | ESPN | Houston -vi.five | O/U lx.5
Independence Stadium, Shreveport, LA

MNW: Like, SHREVEPORT has a bowl game! Y'all're telling me that you couldn't have the Zataran's Rice Bowl in goddamn Lafayette or something?

I don't know how I'k going to be able to look my daughter in the eye someday and tell her that up until three months before she was born I used to fly through the metropolis of Houston for work once a week. Lived in a roach cabin and took the omnibus 25 miles to campus, just so I could be paid the same as an assistant managing director at Kwik Trip.

That's not far from editorializing, past the mode.

Green Akers: I'm just waiting for all these interchangeable, meaningless, jingoistically-named bowl games to form a breakaway non-playoff bracket once the playoff expands. Give me a melange of half dozen-half dozen and 7-5 Big 12 and Sunday Belt and C-USA teams playing in the Real America Invitational in stadia from Arlington to Southlake, all broadcast on News Nation.

BCHFBAS: Navy Seals! Beat you don't remember that moving picture. Before my fourth dimension, but I've heard some stories. Basically trying to piggy-dorsum off Top Gun a few years later on. Michael Biehn, Charlie Sheen. Bill Paxton. Joanne Whaley was the female person lead. She was married to Val Kilmer for a few years...

Gasparilla Bowl

Wake Forest Demon Deacons (7-5) vs. Missouri Tigers (6-6)

Fri, Dec. 23 | five:30pm | ESPN | Wake -ii.v | O/U 63
Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL

Green Akers: I've always thought the winner of this game should be immune to bulldoze that pirate ship right out of the stadium and sail it back to their home city for a victory parade. No, I certainly don't know if the Yadkin is navigable equally far upstream equally Winston-Salem. Oh, what, the Glazers, part of the cabal that'south trying to destroy English soccer, own the Bucs and yous're really telling me you don't retrieve that ship is a seaworthy escape vessel? Open your eyes.

Anyway, Sam Hartman has had a hell of a career and is opting to play ane final game for Wake, and Drinkwitz'south Mizzou DUCKED KANSAS to get this matchup, and so let'southward encounter the Deacs by nearly 50, eh?

MNW: Imagining this every bit the winner just turning and piloting the Queen Mary out to sea like it's the end of Arrested Development.

What angers me about the Gasparilla Bowl is that it's no longer played in the Trop. Bring back the 2014 Bitcoin St. Petersburg Bowl!

BCHFBAS: You know, I thought I had a shot at a guest arc on Arrested Development. I had a part in Wet, Hot American Summer a couple of years prior. A modest office, but withal. I knew I had comic chops. I mean, Nuptials Crashers, The Hangover, howdy??? And look at that stacked cast for WHAS. Lotta them got some great parts afterward that. What did I become? My Little Eye.

Hawai'i Bowl

Eye Tennessee Blueish Raiders (7-5) vs. San Diego Land Aztecs (vii-five)

Sat, December. 24 | 7pm | ESPN | SDSU -7 | O/U 49.5
Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Circuitous, Honolulu, HI

Green Akers: How about Rick Stockstill livin' the dream? Dude quiet quit this task 10 years ago and continues to cruise correct forth. Find a spot where you lot can just dial in, do what's required, and punch out and become relish your hobbies and pastimes and tell me that ain't a life. Imagine how much time he has for chiliad work when he'due south not parked at the function 120 hours a week like these lunatic endeavor-hard grindset coaches.

MNW: We would all be and so lucky. AND dude gets a trip to Hawai'i out of information technology!

Adjacent summer will be my showtime full year with a baby in the firm, and I'grand curious as to what it does to my yardwork routines, which are already minimal. I'thousand the stay-at-domicile dad adjacent summer, I detest all non-lawn mowing yard-related activities...

BCHFBAS: Shit, I mentioned Joanne Whaley being married to Val Kilmer...Michael Biehn and Val Kilmer were both in Tombstone!!! I saw that Christmas nighttime when I was a freshman at Villanova. Val merely killed as Doc Holliday. That planted the seed in me. I transferred to Georgetown afterward that yr. Only y'all know what, Biehn was pretty damn good in that picture show also as Johnny Ringo.

Enough time has passed, we should just remake Tombstone. Sam Elliott could do the Mitchum voiceover office at the end. I bet Kurt Russell would exist okay playing the sheriff who gets killed. No way I'll try to top Val Kilmer, simply if I directed AND played Curly Bill, I bet I could get a best Director and Supporting Actor nom for the same movie. Yeah, let's ready that Falwell project to the side for the fourth dimension existence.
