First up on this bowl Wednesday doubleheader is the Northrop-Grumman-sponsored Military Bowl, starring Air Force (which makes sense) and...Toledo (which I suppose makes sense because they're Rockets). I should warn you that rooting for Toledo means you are anti-American.
Next up is the Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl, featuring Cal and Texas, two schools associated with prominent athletes who leave school early (like Vince Young and geometry whiz Jason Kidd). A commitment to education, indeed. Perhaps in "Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl," "Education" is modifying "Holiday"? Yeah, that would make more sense.

If Toledo wins, the terrorists win!
Go Military-Industrial Complex!
Aaaaaand The san part is that I'll be watching these all afternoon.
That is San, indeed.
I'm driving right now....
I'm typing on my iPhone without my reading glasses while my Internet is down.
Are you drivin' and cryin', Sax?
Jesus christ, this is a bunch of overly-patriotic, jingoistic tripe. Not only do I have to watch this pathetic game but I have to sit through a bunch of thank our troops during every commercial kind of shit.
Because of course I can't change the channel.
Holy Toledo! Toledo up 21-7.
Bob Toledo!
Made it to our destination. Sadly, there is no snow here.
Was snow expected? Or was it just going to be a pretty freak snowstorm to hit Palm Springs?
Typically, this place would have snow this time of year. Glad I didn't drop major coin for new ski gear.
They have this newfangled science called "weather prediction" that can often alleviate unexpected winter weather patterns.
Meanwhile, we're tied at 28. Neither team is winning but at the same time, neither team is losing. Whoooooa....
42-35 with a little over 4 minutes remaining. Toledo with the led.
^ Get it? Toledo....led...
(cries)
42-41 with less than a minute to go. Air Force instead of kicking the PAT, they tried a fake and failed miserably. Stick with shock and awe in the Middle East!
Toledo recovers onside kick and wraps up the game.
Bad gamble for fly boys to have gone for the fake. Hope the Pentagon isn't watching.
I've held the b'o'wl fort down so far today. Now I have to get cleaned up and go with Mrs Dusty and MDIL to a musical tonight (White Christmas). I asked why we couldn't go to Black Christmas and she just scowled at me. Oh yeah, this is going to be a fun night.
I'm dreaming of a black Christmas! So is Irving Berlin!
Sitting in a room with a ton of Cal fans watching this holiday bowl. As Rorschach would say, "Hurm."
21-10 Texas at the start of the fourth quarter.
Speaking of the military-industrial complex, per BBC:
"US White House announces $30bn sale of Boeing F-15 fighter jets to #Saudi Arabia in a deal "supporting 50,000 US jobs" bbc.in/t4Zpp6"
Clearly the outcome of this bowl determined foreign policy.
