CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS! (COUGH, COUGH):
Now that one of the greatest Rose Bowls in history has provided a thrilling ending to the college football season, the winners of our Bowl Mania and two bowl Pick'em contests are as follows (no kidding):
Rose Bowl Score: Matt Murphy
Alamo Bowl Score: Matt Murphy
Most points accumulated in the contest: Matt Murphy
Most wins accumulated in the contest: Matt Murphy
However, books have to be given away and that simply won't work. So, the following people are the winners-by-proxy:
Rose Bowl Score: pj
Alamo Bowl Score: John Sterling
Most points accumulated in the contest: T. McTaggart
Most wins accumulated in the contest: J. Knudsen
I've posted my email address below in the comments section. If your name is on this list, please drop me a note and we'll figure out a fitting book to send you.
Major kudos to everyone who participated and made the bowl game season even more fun than it already is. You guys are really a blast. Thanks.

Think he's feeling foolish now?
