It’s that time of the year when pigskin pundits prognosticate which teams will participate in which bowl games. Thus can be deduced which four or five major conference schools will be left at home, without even a trip to Shreveport or Toronto to satisfy the fan base.

Most scribes are predicting a return trip to Music City by the Cats. Hey, there are worse places to party down.

As expected, Notre Dame will steal the Big East’s prime spot (other than the BCS) in the Gator Bowl. One more time: WAKE UP BIG EAST!!! Make the Fighting Irish become a full member or kick their Golden Dome out of the league.

The Cardinals? Well, it’s obvious that nobody expects the team to become either bowl eligible or bowl worthy. Which situation, it seems patently obvious, is the fault of Bobby Petrino and all the outlaws he recruited, the vast majority of whom never got arrested;, Bob Weber, may he rest in peace; Frank Camp, Vince Gibson, Stu Stram, Scott Marcus and Patrick Henry Hughes.
