Although it may not share the same marquee-value as the BCS National Championship Game that will be played in the same Dolphins Stadium one week later, the 2009 FedEx Orange Bowl (January 1st, 8:30 PM, Fox) will feature two conference champions who want to represent themselves, and their sometimes-maligned conferences, in a grand fashion before [...]

SUN BOWL PREVIEW

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Alamo Bowl Preview: Missouri vs. Northwestern

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

Admit it - you are still surprised that Northwestern ranks among the Top 25 teams in the nation.

Notes From The Margin - Champs Sports Bowl Edition

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

The city of Orlando hosts the Big Ten’s Wisconsin Badgers and the ACC’s Florida State Seminoles in one of the better early bowl season matchups for 2008.  Wisconsin will as usual look to rely on a heavy dose of a physical rushing attack (212 yards per game), headed up by junior P.J.
