Michael and Brandon are two of my friends at work and they suggested I play Bowl Mania during the college bowl season. I remember last year they were comparing games and Mike outlasted Brandon. So I figured what the heck, I'll give it a shot. Something happens to a person when they are in a contest. All of a sudden I actually gave a damn about, who won the game between Temple and Wyoming. Now I have heard of the schools and may have watched part of a game they were involved with, but I had never rooted one way or the other, for either university.
Along comes ESPN Bowl Mania and I become obsessed. The first thing I do in the morning is look and see how, "my" teams did if they were involved in a late night game. I have watched with a certain amount of trepidation as each game is played. Initially, I thought if I picked one more team to win then lost it would be a success. The wins started to flow and I became Mr. Competitor. With five more games to go I am 24-6 on my picks and have amassed 489 points. I am certainly not the leader, but continue to inch up the leader board. This certainly makes watching the games, I can stay awake for more entertaining.
As for the outcome of the Temple, Wyoming game. Temple won and I received 13 points. Go Owls.
