Only one game on Christmas Eve, as it is every year, a trip to the islands.
Fresno St. vs. Houston
No interest at all in this game, did my one live quarter and called it a night. We usually watch a movie on Christmas Eve, this year's choice Christmas Vacation. There was some dilemma when I couldn't find my DVD copy of the movie. I keep all my movies in alphabetical order and somehow this one jumped from the C's to the A's. Movie watched, ordered restored. "Hey Gris, if you're not doing anything constructive, run into the living room and get my stogey."
Movie over, 25,000 Italian twinkle lights lit, on to the game. I struggled to stay awake but managed to watch the third quarter. There were more lights on Clark's house than fans in the stands, and it wasn't close.
This game did feature a rare block six, a block field goal returned for a touchdown.
Fresno State 33 Houston 27
My pick: Houston, record now a sad 6-8.
What I ate: Nothing. We had dinner an hour before the game. Standing rib roast, mashed potatoes, mushrooms, good stuff.
Bowl Swag: Electronics gift suite, Oakley backpack and sunglasses, Tori Richard aloha shirt, beach towel, Pro Athletics surf trunks, performance t-shirt.
Probably the most fun swag of all the games. Get one of those Tori Richards shirts for your next casual Friday.
Fun Fact: Fresno State had the longest bowl win drought, at six games. Streak ended, way to go Bulldogs.
