2019 Week 15
December 10, 2019
Well, we had conference championship weekend, learned who will make the BS playoffs, and we are now on the verge of bowel season.
The calendar meant we had an extra week between Labor Day and Thanksgiving so we ended up with an extra week of college football regular season action. And now I've noticed that the BS title game is a week later than usual too, so we will have an extra week of bowel action. There's nothing that used to get my good friend Coach Corso more excited than the words "extra bowel action". I still don't understand Lee at times.
On Friday night we saw a nice non-conference tilt between Pac-8 champion Oregon and the University of Texas at Houston. The Beavers ran away with the contest and will have a chance to close out their fine season in the Rosey Bowel.
One of the more exciting games was played in Memphis as Memphis beat Cincinnati 29-24 to win the Big East and the chance to coach Florida State. Second prize was two chances to coach Florida State.
Florida Atlantic beat Alabama-Birmingham to win Conference UFO, which had to make archrival Florida Pacific quite jealous.
Boys' State won the WAC over Hawaii, 31-10. Meanwhile, in other minor conference action, the Appalachian State Mountain Men outscored Louisiana 45-38 to win the SEC JV title, and Miami of Ohio held off the midshipmen of Seaman U 26-21 to win the MAC.
Oklahoma beat Baylor 30-23 in overtime to win the Big 8/SWC Challenge Title and will advance to the BS playoffs.
In the big-time conference title games there was some drama. Ohio State fell behind Wisconsin by two touchdowns in the Big 10 title game, then shut out the Badgers in the second half to finish an undefeated schedule, but for some reason Wisconsin is getting the Rosey Bowel bid instead of the Buckeyes.
Clemson had trouble with Virginia for about 3 minutes and 37 seconds, then blew out the Hokies 62-17.
The biggest showdown took place in Atlanta as LSU pulverized Georgia, 37-10. After the game was over Coach Ogre ran onto the field and let loose with the loudest on-mike flatulence I've heard since that Congressman a couple weeks ago. Coach Ogre is special that way, he takes everything to the max and he has the Tigers in the BS playoffs for the first time in a while.
ESPN spent about three hours talking about the four BS teams instead of focusing on what we really needed to know - who is playing in the Famous Anus Idaho Potato Bowel. But they finally got around to the meaningful stuff and now we're ready to get going with bowel season.
Stay tuned next week for Beeno's Bowel Preview. That's where I'll look deep into every bowel and let you know what comes out. It will be a bit like my last colonoscopy while I was still mortal, just probing around and listening to lots of squealing and excitement. Or maybe that was my good friend Herb Street's date with a couple of the sorority girls at Auburn. Hard to tell the difference sometimes. See you soon!
