can't remember when i last watched a college bowl game ... have no interest ... the bcs is the ncaa's money minting embarassment ... talk to me when the bcs is finally dismantled and recreated as a playoff system ... instead of oranges or sugar or cotton or roses, i might just watch "the winter classic" ... new year's day ... 1:00 pm ... nbc-tv ... historic fenway park ... hockey game played outside ... philadelphia flyers vs boston bruins ... for the nostalgic, broad street bullies vs big bad bruins ... the latest in manufactured "made for money" sporting events ... the ice skating ring has been in place across fenway park for 10 days now ... will be there another 10 after the big game ... fenway sports group gets $10,000 an hour from groups using the ice rink ... an outdoor nhl hockey game at a venue with historic overtones ... brokers are getting $800-$1,000 for tickets ... the teams will be wearing uniforms specifically designed for "the winter classic" ... the entire collection of winter classic gear has been on sale at your local souvenier shop for weeks now ... the more we spend on "events" like this, the more the marketing geniuses of sport will manufacture circuses like this
